Challenge #16: Elaine's Turn
As you probably already know, the challenge this month is Spring Is In The Air (or baby cards), and Crissy has the most adorable new spring-themed images available as digis through Whimsy Stamps. I've used two of the new images on my card today - MEADOW BACKGROUND and LILLY FILLY. Love how the images merge together and I had SO much fun colouring them in.
I used Crissy's card as a reference when I was considering how to colour Lilly Filly. I love Crissy's colouring, and studying her coloured images has been a big help over the past couple of years in developing my own skills! I also followed Annika's sky tutorial to create the sky.
I coloured the image with Copics. Papers are Echo Park Springtime 12x12. I coloured the ribbon using a Copic marker to match my coloured image and tied the bow with the Bow-Easy template. The gorgeous chipboard corners and butterfly are from the Make It Crafty Fine Swirls lasercut chipboard pack, and I painted them with Twinkling H20s.
OVER TO YOU! If you haven't joined in the challenge yet, I hope you will! All the challenge rules are over in the sidebar, and you can link up your project using Inlinkz on Sarah's post from earlier in the month.

Spring with Chris
My first creation uses the darling Newborn Joon and the Meadow background available at Whimsy Stamps and illustrated by Crissy. Isn't he just darling?
He was so fun to color and so adorable, that I just had to create a gift set with him for my next creation.
For more details or photos, please visit my blog.

Spring is in the Air at Crissy's!
I hope you can forgive me! I realised at the very last minute - well actually late - that it was time for my post at Sundays with Crissy!! I've been so busy I knew what day it was but forgot the date! Are we seriously in April already??? hehee
So it's 4am here, I have JUST finished my card and I am going to warn you right now... I am RUSTY!!! So don't expect too much. hehee I got all my lighting wrong and then I started to get tired and by the time it came to creating a layout I was like... argh just stick it down Zoe! lol
I felt so bad that I wasn't able to join the blog hop last week so I thought it would be nice to create my 'Spring is in the Air' project using 'Heartfelt Angel' from the collection raising funds for the Japan relief effort which I combined with 'Meadow Background'.
The papers are from KaiserCraft. I really love this collection with the muted tones and little accessories.
Here is a close up
All coloured with copics. I thought I would try Annika's sky, who in fact even created a video recently showing you how easy it is!
I am sorry I didn't keep a list of colours this time. The blue dress from memory was BG000, 02, 05, Hair was E70, 71, 74, sorry that's all I remember!
I hope you have been well and are happily crafting until your hearts content.
Big Squeezes
Zoe xxoo

Digi Spotlight & Annika's Card
Here's a little about Annika Ryan...
I had managed to sail through 36 years of my life without any inclinations towards crafting and in firm knowledge that cutting a straight line is physically impossible and therefore pure myth. Then I got pregnant second time, had a sudden idea to make some cards and bought a guillotine. The rest is history.
Now, to show you what's been jumping off Crissy's drawingboard just for you!!!
"Lilly Filly"
"Meadow Background"
"New Chickie"
"Newborn Joon"
"Sweet Babies"
Thanks for stopping in to take a look!!! If there are any images that catch your eye just click on them and you will be taken directly to the Whimsy Stamps website where you can find out how to order and download Crissy's images.
Have a blessed day!!
Hugs,
Sarah☺
