A few little challenges..

I coloured these images up a while ago, so thought I'd use them to take part in a few challenges this week.(I will find the links out properly later and add them.. )

The first one was for Kathy's Sketch File CRISP AND SIMPLE - 15, and a great sketch to work with again.

I used the fantastic new products from Lili of the Valley - not much time now until you can get your mitts on 'em.. so why not nip over and take a look? I also used the new Mandala Reflections board, which I absolutely love.. it's perfect to work with your stamped or die cut images as you can see.

Here's a close up of the detail on the die cut - I used flower soft around the strings of the swing.

I also decided to have a go at the Mojo Monday challenge. This time it was a sketch to work from, and I can see me using this one quite a bit - a great one to work with. It also covers on the Copic Colour Challenge, so two challenges in one.. good or what!

Here's my card,

I used copics for the image, which you can see here in close up..

The image is one I got in a stamped image swap, so couldn't tell you much about it, but everything on it is Stampin Up apart from the little flowers, which I punched, shaped and finished with a rosey topper and a bit of sparkle spray.

For this last card I used the 2S4Y sketch for this week. Simple and stylish

The papers are Stampin Up again, as the colours matched in perfectly, and the colouring was done with copics again.

So... that's it for today.. see you soon and thanks for visiting.. xxx
