Ali and Chez

Hi crafty friends

Today I'm sharing my make for the Sheepski Designs Facebook Group Challenge.

Why not enter our challenge its Anything Goes with a Sheepski design, its right here in the group
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1730005463906336/?ref=br_tf

I'm using Ali and Chez, (don't you just love that name) a little bit of Wonderland for you. I love Alice in Wonderland and the lovely Andrea drew this image especially for me. How awesome is that?!

The Cheshire Cat is famous for its ability to appear and disappear at will and for its enormous grin. In fact, sometimes the entire Cat disappears, leaving only the grin behind. The most important thing the Cat does is tell Alice that everyone in Wonderland is crazy – even her. Yeah sound like place you know to....?

You can find them here at the store https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/532411377/ali-n-chez-image-no-96?ref=shop_home_active_16

Skin E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, R11
Hair E18, E15, YR23, YR21, YR20
Dress B04, B02, B00

Lady of the Roses

Hi Moonflower Fans,

Its time for a new release from our lovely Andreia at Moonflower Digi Stamps. This beauty is Lady of the Roses.
Just look at that hair and all those beautiful roses. She'd make a great wedding card. Pity I don't know anyone that getting married, we're all to old now LOL!!

You can find her here at the store
https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/528136770/lady-of-the-roses?ref=shop_home_active_1

I've coloured her with copics and added a pretty floral paper which I distressed together with a bit of embossing on the background card. I cut her out with a die cut from Tonic and added some flowers from my crafty stash.

This month  as well out Andreia is the artist being used in the Kit & Clowder Create and Learn Classes. Yipee Doo! That means I get to colour her images twice.

Here's the info direct from Alyce at Kit & Clowder together with the image for the pencils class that I'm going to be doing. 

Our brand new Online Colouring Class for pencils is here! 
Join me to colour and learn over at www.kitandclowder.com
(suitable for beginners to advanced colourists - see below)
.
Do techniques like big hair and folds make you a little nervous? Don't worry - in this month's class feat. MoonFlower Digital Stamps we will be breaking everything down step by step, right back to the basics to help you learn with more complex images. Classes are all about teaching fundamentals that take time and practice, and you are not expected to perfect these straight away. Let's do this together (I'm always available for free one on one tutoring) and help you feel more confident tackling these techniques for all of your stamps/colouring books and images
