GLORIOUS weather today in Blackpool! Hope it's like that for you, too, wherever you are.


My four days off went by very quickly, and I've only one completed card to show unfortunately!
A close-up of the kids ('A kiss for Chloe, Sarah Kay), which shows the colours pretty much true,
And the completed card! This is for my parents - it's their 45th Wedding Anniversary.


Not a great photo, it's a bit washed out despite trying to fiddle about with editing. I dont often do gatefold cards, and once I'd decorated the inside it wouldn't lie flat for a photo!

Supplies: PP is Basic Grey 'Two Scoops'. Flowers by Prima and the metal flowers are charm brads by Dovecraft.


Copic recipe
Boy: Skin E00, E21, Hair - Y28, Y21, overalls - W1, W3, W5, W7, Shirt - G00. Hat E31, E33, E35, E37
Girl: Skin - E51, E93, Hair - E35, E37, E49, overalls - B93, B95, B12, Shirt - R35, R32, R20, Hat - Y21, Y28, E37
For their knee patches/ hair ribbon/ hat band I worked with colours I'd already used. I should have perhaps given the boy one red knee patch, or his hat band could have been red. I've outlined with W1 and then went over that with E51 as the outline was too similar to colour of the boy's overalls.

How to make the Pebble/Gravel ground is here on Marianne's blog. I practically stalk this blog! LOL
TTFN!

4 days off

Hurray, I've finished the (busy) 5 night duties and I'm off for four whole days. Unfortunately, parts of those four days will have to be give over to domestic duties :( , but at least I'm off! I'm going to completely ignore the phone when work ring to ask me to work extra shifts - heck I might even leave it off the hook completely!

I made these a few days ago, just hadn't got around to posting them.

Both images are coloured using (more or less) the same Copic colours and the PP is K&Co, Wild Raspberry. CS is DCWV, from the 'neutral' pad and I've used a scrap of Coredinations embossed with the 'Stylized flower' cuttlebug folder and sanded back. Hydrangeas are by prima, butterfly sticker is by Jolees. Shapes cut with nestabilities on the second card.

Sarah Kay Stamp is 'a Kiss for Chloe'. Copic recipe: Skin E51, E02, R20, Hair - E35, E57, E08, YR21, Y21, y38, Hats - E33, Y21, E50
Jeans - B93, B95, C1, Tshirts - R22, R35, YG03, YG23, Ground - W1, w3, w5, YG23 and copic multi-liner 0.3mm to sketch in gravel and grass tufts.

Sarah Kay Stamp is 'Rosalie's Bicycle' . This young lady is coloured in using the same pens, but I've used BG01, BG10, BG15 for her jeans. The puppy has touches of W3 and W1 to suggest shading and the tyres of the bicycle are also coloured with W3, W5, W9.

They've both got touches of the Copic Spica glittery goodness on them, but it doesnt photograph well, so you'll have to take my word that 'its purty'!

Confused dot com moment - I took the photos at the same time and edited them together, but for some reason, the first card will enlarge when it's clicked, but the second one won't. Bizarre! Does anyone know why?

TTFN!
