Crafty Monkey's - Citrus colours

For our challenge this week at Crafty Monkey's we would love to see Citrus colours on your card. I loved this blue paper for my Mermaid but added lots of zingy colours for my card base, fibres and dewdrops. This cute mermaid is by High Hopes. She is coloured with copics and I have added some stickles.

We have a fabulous prize again this week which has been kindly donated by Kathy. Kathy is giving the below cute Hamish stamp as a prize.

We also welcome my good friend Sanne as our Guest Designer this week. Thank you Sanne for your beautiful card! I love the sweet girl image. Please do pop over and visit Sanne at her blog.

Crafty Monkey's - Let's get buggy!

For our new challenge at Crafty Monkey's we would love to see your buggy creations. You can use a bug image, any image as long as it has a small bug - butterfly, ladybug, bee etc or bug embellishments.

I coloured in this cute Penny Black image which I received in a swap. I have coloured with my Whisper pens. The flowery paper was sent to me from my Mum's friend Renata. Thank you Renata! The flowers are Jolee's and I have finished my card by adding some button butterflies. I thought the little hedgehog looked like he was starring up at something.

I am so happy to also tell you that I helped Crissy the artist design this stamp by advising on her clothes and hair style. I wanted the image to have Hannah Montana's style. The paper is Disney Hannah Montana Guitar and was just perfect for her. I coloured my image with Copic sketch markers.
