Rude Stella!

Hi Everyone,
First of all apologies for the photo looking a bit dark.
I love the "Stella" images by Bugaboo and this is one of the new ones. Had great fun colouring her with Copics.  The background is sponged with distress inks, everything else is from my stash.

Yet another card

Firstly I would like to apologise for the poor picture quality.  I have used a different camera and the light was bad.

For this card I have used a Kenny K image and coloured her with Copics.  The palm trees were cut with my Silhouette, the sentiment was also done on my Silhouette.  Paper is from my stash.

The challenges entered are: Whoopsi Daisy - Bring On Summer
                                             Creative Inspirations - Spring into Summer
                                             Addicted to CAS - Aloha

Thanks for looking.

Too wit, too woo!!

A friend wanted a notebook with an owl on it.  This is what I did for her.
Paper is from my stash and all the images are cut using my Silhouette.  It is now on it's way to England (from Australia).  Hope she likes it.
I am entering it into the Incy Wincy challenge which is "Alter Something"
