Lovely lilac

Hello lovely people,

Last week I enjoyed a day of drinking tea/coffee, chatting and colouring with my buddies Sue and Debs :-)

There was more of the first 2 and less of the 3rd to be honest (lol!) but I did get this little lady coloured up and thought I'd share her for my Dies to Die For DT card this week.

I didn't originally buy many of the garden girls but I have recently been falling in love with them so had to expand my collection.  This lilac girl is going to be a favourite, I can tell, because I really love colouring all the teeny flowers!

I don't use my purple Copics very often but it was the classic choice for this image and I also added Nuvo drops to the centres of some of the larger flowers.

If I've tempted you with any of the lovely supplies I've used then you can go straight to the individual products via the thumbnails at the end of my post or just pop over to Dies to Die For and have a little browse around!

Happy FRiday everyone and I hope you have a wonderful weekend whatever you are up to :-)

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,

Hello lovely people,

It's Friday so it must be time for me to share my latest Dies to Die For DT card!

Today's temptation comes in the shape of one of the new Stamping Bella images.  I treated myself to a few, having spent ages whittling down my wish list to a size that my credit card could handle!

This is my first purchase of one of the gorgeous little garden girls and although I was tempted to use pink, I decided to go with red.

I know red markers can be a bit 'bleedy' but I love colouring in red, although I had to do this image in several sittings to stop me going cross eyed concentrating on all the teeny petal details!

I also coloured this before picking papers which is not like me at all, but I found some lovely bold papers to match and decided on a clean layered design...but with LOTS of stitching!
