Wash Your Hands!

Hello Crafty Peeps! How are you all doing in these crazy times?  It's been a bit noisier in my household with everyone home, but we are muddling through.

Today I just want to share a colouring of one of Power Poppy's latest images, 'Wash Your Hands', which Marcella drew as a reminder to us all.  I didn't write down the colours I used like I usually do, as I just wanted to enjoy the colouring part!

I use ProMarkers as you know, but often I turn to Copic marker tutorials as these are more abundant. For the soap bubbles I have used THIS tutorial from Mindy Baxter at My Creative Scoop. Aren't they fun?

Something Borrowed, Something Blue at Tiddly Inks

Hello Crafty Peeps!
I don't know about you, but I am so done with snow and wintry weather.  I'm sure it's spring somewhere in the world though, so I wanted to make something light and pretty to chase away my winter blues!
I have used 'Garden Wedding', which is a very popular image at Tiddly Inks. My main focus is on the image, so I have just added a few embellishments. 


I rarely do such pale clothing, but I wanted to try a shimmery cream look for this wedding dress.

The Sweetest Thing

It's lovely and sunny today and if I pretend there's no snow on the ground it could almost be spring.  Not good enough for ripe, juicy berries to be growing though which is a shame. So today I'm sharing a CAS card I made using 'Cherries and Berries' from Power Poppy. There's actually three different images in this set, but I have combined them in Photoshop to create a yummy frame. 
Looking at this on screen now I realise my cherries need some work on the highlight areas, but I'm happy with the rest.
