Tickled Pink Stamps, Make it Colourful & DT Whiff of Joy

Hi everyone!! It's been a sad week here. My son's friend lost his younger brother suddenly and unexpectedly on Monday. I've known the father's side of this family since I was a teenager and would have spent a lot of time with them. Having a son of the same age also makes it so hard to imagine what they are going through.

So today I'm playing catch  up with posting as I really wasn't up to blogging much this week.  Sorry, it's a long post :)

Over on Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge we have a fabulous sketch by Emma for you. I have used one of the gorgeous new Pinkettes - Lil Tom Boyz Faith.

My papers are My Mind's Eye, matted with dark brown cardstock and machine stitched. I've punched a border on white cardstock using the Martha Stewart Antique Lace punch. The tag behind the image the image reads the classic "What little girls are made of" verse.

Next is a DT card for Whiff of Joy using one of the fabulous images from Elizabeth Bell's summer kit.  This little cutie is called Nr.1 Teacher & Sentiment and is available over on the Whiff of Joy store.

The papers I've used are by Bo Bunny, matted on light teal cardstock and machine stitched. To embellish I've used light mink seambinding, a Tim Holtz token & some yellow pearl brads. The background stamp behind my image is from the I love School set in the collection

Finally, I have a coloured image to share that I did for Make it Colourful. The challenge is to colour with Blues. You can use any colouring medium, it does not have to be copics. 

This is a free image, I can't remember where I got it but I've had it for ages. I use images like these for practicing skin tones, flowers, foliage, etc with my copics... and I just LOVE the blue hair.
