My Prize Goodies & Skattykats Challenge #12 Sketch Challenge

Hello All!
Just a quick post for now as these arrived today :)

....and guess who'll be going off to play just as soon as I've finished this post?! Mahoosive thanks to all at Hero Arts. oxo

Onto yesterday's challenge over at Skattykats which is a sketch, here's my card. It's not usually my taste in colours, in fact I'm sure I remember my gran once telling me, 'red & green should never be seen,' but whilst out walking the other day I stopped to admire the tulips - bright green stems, bright red blooms mixed with various shades of yellow from almost butter-cream to in your face-happy-smiley yellow....so I guess I was influenced for this one ;)

I used both Aqua promarkers & Promarkers for this one, yep, they work well together, heat set the outline image stamped with aqua markers and then colour with promarkers & no bleeding-brilliant!

Stamp from hero arts, ribbon from stash, cardstock DCWV, punch from stampin up. 

Have a fabby afternoon & hope to be back again soon. Mwaaghh.x  

*P.S. Don't forget to leave the letters MBK in your comment if you would like the chance to grab a Luke & Lola Memory Box Kit! (see post below) It ends tomorrow, so be quick!*

Think Spring SKTS Challenge 6 & Stampavie

There is a challenge over at Skattykats with the chance to win these papers, blooms and ribbons. Hop on over there for a nosey.

Stampavie have bi-monthly challenges & their challlenge is also all about 'Spring' you can visit it here

Here's my card for both cahllenges. When I think of spring there are many things that relate to it but, just recently I've been thinking of growing my own veg and there are a few things that can be planted out in spring, like radish, lettuce and herbs so, I thought this pretty Sarah Kay stamp fitted with the theme. You can get the stamp here

Supplies: Craftwork Cards blank, promarkers, Sarah Kay stamp - Collecting her vegetables, MME Wild-Asparagus papers, ribbon and prima flowers from stash, liquid pearls in petal pink and pastel chalks.

Hope the spring sunshine is gracing your skies wherever you are :)
