Hi!
Autumn is running at us in high speed and October is here before we know it, so today I have a Halloween card for you. I was so inspired by the CAS-challenge over at Make It Crafty this month and had so much fun cropping my image.

Good Morning!
Sometimes you need that birthday card that is cute and cuddly, and Little Miss Muffet Stamps are just perfect for those. Today I’m using Jack’s Birthday and I’m pairing him with some Doodlebug Designs paper, just love how perfect those papers work together with all the Little Miss Muffet Stamps stamps.

Hi guys!
There is so much exciting things going on over at the Make It Crafty Facebook Group and blog this month! First Zoe has a new DT call! Do you want to join us an promote Make It Crafty? Then head on over to the Facebook group where there’s a post with all the details. Personally I must say that becoming a part of Zoes DT (design team) is one of the best things that has happen to me. I have grown immensely since I started there, and the whole team is very supporting and helping each other, not only have I learned so much from all of them I have also found a group of friends. So if you love Zoes images as much as I do and want to learn and dare to step out of the box and put your grown up pants on then come and join in for the chance to become a Mic Gal you to (guys are also welcome to apply, we just haven’t had one in the team yet).
So for todays card! Today is the first day of the new colour challenge over at http://www.makeitcolourful.com/, and this month it is “Blending outside the colour family”. That means to use colours from two or more colour families( ex. blue & red, green and yellow etc), and for once I get a video up the first day of the challenge where I explain my thoughts on the subject while creating this card where I’m blending with a lot of different colour families. And remember you can use any kind of colouring medium to enter but you’ll need to use a Make It Crafty image.

Hi!
When I saw this image I knew I wanted to make something sort of mixed media, but I ended up just using some distress inks and stencils. I’m still a bit scared about using my embossing paste, but I’ll get there. The Mixed Media Girl 1 as the image is called, is perfect for practising shading on the face and waves in hair. And I had so much fun with these colour combinations, the skin is from #thehumanrainbow chart by Sandy Allnock and the hair, well I’m a bit shuffed to say that I just can’t find the blog, thought it was called the crafty kitten, but I seem to be wrong, this is why I should bookmark all those good blogs so that I don’t lose them.
The background paper is all Tim Holtz Distress Inks, and some Tim Holtz Stencils. I had so much fun playing.

Hi!
It’s release day over at Little Blue Button Stamps and I’m here with a notecard for you. I really have been loving using bright and bold colours lately, and todays card is no different. Using those fluorescent colours (actually I use one of the fluorescent copics in her hair). I let this project be a simple notecard, with a black matt so you’ll need a white gel pen to write on it.

Hi!
I’m here with a new card, really loved working with the papers I used for the wedding card that was shared on the Paper Nest Dolls Facebook page the other week with Prom Avery, so I thought I would use them again and pair them with sweet Ice Cream Emma for a birthday card. Todays image is coloured with copics and a few Faber Castel Polychromos to add detail to the hair and add some definition to the shadows. I have also made a video showing how I colour the image and going step by step through how I put the card together.

Hi!
I have a new card for you today, it’s all about those bright strong colours. Also for the past couple of weeks I have been hopping onto the diversity bandwagon, Sandy Allnock has shared a wonderful chart for what she calls colouring the human rainbow, you can get it for free from her website. It’s all about trying to mix it up when it comes to skin colour. I have been trying to do that before, but have a way of defaulting back to caucasian skin colours I usually do, as that is a colour combo that is in my head. But after printing and colouring that chart (you can find a video of me colouring it and talking abit more about it here), I do find myself using more and more different skin colours. I have the chart laying on my table next to my colouring together with my hex chart and my copic chart. And it just makes me change things up. I also find myself using other pattern papers as different skin colours lends them self for other colour combinations for the clothes and the whole card.

For this card I pulled out my distress inks, not for the character as she is coloured with copics as usually, using one of Sandy Allnocks wonderful skin colours from her coloring the human rainbow chart, adding a lighter colour for those highlights. But the background is all distress inks. Actually only three of them, the orange is made by blending the yellow and the pink and the green is made by blending the blue and the yellow, a simple but fun background.
The character is called Sonny Honeycloud Rocks and is a Little Miss Muffet Stamps stamp, it is so adorable. I loved playing with the pinks in the hair, just adding more and more different shades. Don’t forget to join the challenge over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps Challenge Blog this week, its anything goes.

Hi Everyone!
Today I have a tag for you all, I’m using the adorable Maddy With Glasses and being a girl with glasses myself I thought I would give her pink hair. Now for some reason you can’t see the adorable candy-floss pink hair she got on the photo, it looks greyer than in real life.

Hi Guys!
So you all know I love me a challenge, so when I saw the colouring challenge over at Saturated Canary I just new I needed to enter. The challenge is to colour on of their Fashion Decade Digis, I choose to colour the 80s one, not only because I’m an 80s girl in so many ways but also because of that hair! Just love that hair! I also wanted to join the #thehumanrainbow movement that Sandy Allnock started, to get us colourists to start using a bigger variation of skin colours in our colouring to show the true blend of people out there. So that is something you are going to see much more from me.
