In between watching ....

.... paint dry, I managed to get to PaperPlay Challenges.  This week's challenge is to make a project with "Good Luck" or "Thank You" as the theme.  Our own Elisa is sponsoring the challenge, giving three of her gorgeous Mamidoodles digi-stamps to this week's randomly chosen winner.

Here's my card - it's a "thank you with all my heart" card!!  I've photographed it three times at this stage, the light was so terrible last night that the original version looked yellow rather than turquoise, this is much better:

I used the sketch from this week's Friday Sketchers, and I'm also going to enter Creative Inspirations challenge, this week is to use "White, Yellow and Green".  I'm a bit cheeky, 'cos I've used turquoise (GREENy-blue, yeah?!!!), yellow and white (with a bit of kraft, brown and red for good measure!).

Recipe:

Papers: October Afternoon Weathervane

Stamp: Basic Grey Heart Girl

Colouring Medium: Pro-markers

Other: Label 1 Nesties, Hero Arts Flowers and Pearls, Old Paper distress ink, ribbon from stash, needle + thread.

Here's a little close-up of the image - she's so cute.  It's a Basic Grey stamp that I bought a while back - I just had to have it because she looks so weird with her hypnotised eyes!!!  There's also a boy one and he is very odd too!!!  I love them!!

I coloured her with my pro-markers. Happy with the overall effect but I think it was a mistake to use blue on the shadow at her feet - I think she might possibly have wet herself!!!  I highlighted the heart with Glossy Accents and also those little blobs hanging off her dress - they are even blobbier now!!!

My craft-room is coming along slowly but nicely.  The carpenter was here all last weekend, and the storage unit is looking great, although not finished yet.  We are the slowest decorators in the world, but two walls are completely done, another half done, I'm about to start edging the fourth after finishing this post.  Two of the walls are cream, and the other two are a darkish greeny-yellow that I have chosen to call "Cow-pat Green".  Anyone who has ever stood in a cow-pat will know exactly the colour I mean!!!

And finally, it's my 100th blog post!!!   Waves arms around in excitement!!  Really, I should have a blog-candy or something, but since everything is packed away, it'll have to wait for a while.  Maybe 120th post or something of that nature.  Watch this space (but don't hold your breath or anything!!).

Back to the paint-brush.  Sigh!
