Delightful Wednesday – May Flowers!

Hello there! I’m back again!! But I’m a few hours late! Tut, tut! Must try harder!

Hope everyone in the UK had a good BH weekend.  As a Civil Servant I was lucky enough to have Tuesday off as well (Queen’s Birthday don’t you know) so no excuse for not getting this post out on time.  Well I COULD think of some if you give me a moment!!

So better late than never it is my turn to post a Wednesday project on the Digital Delights blog and the theme Sandy and I chose for May is May Flowers and you can’t say I haven’t used any flowers on THIS project!! J

My image this time is one of my all-time favourites.  She is the ridiculously adorable JUBBLY TURTLE Awwwwh!  I love all of Wendy’s Jubbly animals and you can browse through them HERE.

Can you tell I like making flowers?! Probably O-F’d (Over Flowered) on this a tad but If you are going to make flowers then MAKE FLOWERS that’s what I say! J

Dies: Tonic ‘Circle Layering Dies’ – Spellbinders ‘Ribbon Banners’

Digi Choosday Challenge – Week 21: Pretty in Purple!

Hello!  Hope all is well with you and yours!

It’s Choosday so it’s time for a new challenge over at DIGI CHOOSDAY and our theme this week is Pretty in Purple…oooh my favourite colour!!!  As always we have a fab prize on offer so check out the BLOG for details.

Once again I used my fave of Nikky’s collections called DOLLIE DAYDREAM GOES EAST which contains some of the most glorious papers imaginable and plenty of purple ones at that!

So straight off I think I ought to start by saying that I have NO IDEA why I coloured her skin green.  Really, it was one of those things that just sort of happened. Maybe I was influenced by all the skulls she is sporting but the poor girl became a member of the zombie/undead community before I knew what was happening!!! J

 I do love this image. She is soooo cool!! She is called KAWAII and is available separately or as part of the larger COLLECTION.

Ingredients:

Image: KAWAII

Sentiment and Papers: DOLLIE DAYDREAM GOES EAST BUNDLE

Dies: Sizzix ‘Labels Framelits’

Card: Neenah Solar White

Colouring/Ink: Spectrum Noir markers & pencils

Others: Spiders Web – Pearls - Ribbon
