Doodled Pattern Dress Girl with Balloons (Fred She Said image)

Hi Crafty friends,

I think I am back to usual with my creating now. I've had a couple of quiet months but I've now sorted my crafting storage and I'm hoping this helps.

I thought I'd get a little artistic today and try something new so I created a pattern on her dress instead of just colouring/shading it. The balloons are my favourite die at the moment, it came free with a magazine! The fence is from my company Flourish with a Bling. The gorgeous little girl is from Fred She Said.

Hi Crafty Friends,

Rocker Girl card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi guys,

This image is from The Paper Shelter, I thought I'd colour her up in Halloween colours as she looks a little rocker girl/goth looking. I used some Lawn Fawn frame dies and the larger "white" lines are white ribbon. I doodled the black outlines around the image and around the black cardstock. As you can see below, I've coloured up this image below years ago, I think my Copic colouring has improved a little since then, I enjoy comparing when it's something I've coloured before.

Blue Haired Girl (Crafts & Me/Hannah Lynn image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

My last card tonight and I think this blue-haired girl is such a stunner. I didn't think I was going to find any papers to match her as the blue is so bright but I was lucky enough to find a piece in my scraps box, my lucky day it would seem hehe. I doodled with my white paint pen some "stitching" and I have used some gorgeous FWAB products - Blue Chloe Flourish and light blue Maddison flower. The image can be found at Crafts and Me under Hannah Lynn images.

Music Boy card (Bugaboo Stamps image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a craft market on this week where I'll be selling my cards and I know I don't have many boy cards in comparison to girly ones so thought I better do a couple of extra ones. But the next 3 cards I have to show you are all super girly oops hehe.

This little guy comes from Bugaboo, I thought he'd look cool sitting on a brick wall. I thought it needed a little extra something so I doodled the black & white outline around the image, it's very easy to do. Just draw 2 wavy lines then draw lines inside it and colour every second box in black!
