Wee Mountain Lily in a world of Wonder





Hi guys it's Wee Wednesday over Magnolia-licious and Wee stamp blog and it's my turn to share some inspiration. I'm glad you came by for a visit. I've been waiting for this posting since for ever. I colored this image a very loooooong time ago maybe 2 months ago. I must say I had a relaxing time coloring the light pinkish/purple background with my Spectrum Noir markers. 
Magnolia-licious is now carrying them and also Spectrum Noir Markers.
You could find a whole range of variety of these lovely stamps on the store HERE.




Oh how about this perfect sentiment from Little Darlings Fairy Tale set.

Bikinis and Burgers whoot whoot whoot!


Hi guys I'm back and getting back in my creating/coloring roll. I've been coloring quite a few images and I'll soon be sharing as soon as I get a chance to do cards for them. My kids are all feeling much better although the husband is still dragging on his scrappy voice. The coughing has almost disappeared but I guess his voice needs much more resting then he has given it. (You know what I'm thinking right lol) but it's looking good here. 

So we're at the end of May already wow! CHA is around the corner which I've been working on a couple of projects for some of my DT'S. I have a few more to go but can you believe it were hitting JUNE!!! Well my bday is coming up and you know I have to run some yummy candy. I'll be working on that ASAP. I'm going to make things interesting this time and give away some of my cards, candy and we'll see what else through random numbers to spread the love :) So stay tune for that.

Ok so on to my posting :) I have a fun, bright card to share and it's for the 
new challenge over Saturated Canary blog
The theme is Hair that is different.

 I myself gave SC Bikini and Burgers a bright fuchsia pink color. I used my spectrum Noir markers mixing some BP and some of the DR's.
I'm having a hard time writing down recipe because I'm coloring super fast lol! I have lots to catch up since the step back while my family was sick.
If your interested in the SN recipe send me a shout and I'll figure it out but I clearly remember it was the BP, DR, CR and BT pens.
My girlie is from SC and her name is Bikini and Burgers, one of the newest images, Krista has just added a few new other images to the shop and they are so SWEEET! I need to find time to color them all. Check out the shop HERE.
A few pictures to share



I did the gingham fabric flowers with some left  over fabric I had in my stash. I hope you get to see the highlights on her body skin. Have you guys noticed I always leave some highlights on my images cheeks. I have a habit of doing that. I guess I like to give them some makeup contouring, bahaaa is that the right makeup term?? 
Well that's it for me and for my friends in the US. Enjoy the Memorial weekend and HEY what a perfect image for the celebration lol! I swear I didn't plan that to happen like that but I'm happy I picked her to share today :)

Time to hit the flan I made last night :)

I will list all the Little Darlings product at the bottom of the post for a speedy find :)

I have two 3D projects to contribute to the hop and all my images were colored with Spectrum Noir markers.

Lets start with Red Ridding Hood and her picnic basket

Red looks so ravishing with her hood and flowing hair. The trees on the background are part of the stamp but the clouds are hand colored in. 
The basket was inspired by Denas Easter basket tutorial but without the tulle.
Thank you Mrs.Dena  for that :)

I used only 1 sheet of the 12x12 Chocolate covered Fruit from Fruit Basket and the Once upon a time... sentiment from the Fairy Tale sentiments and a Sweet tag from LD Tag Alongs.

Ready for lots of pictures....




**************************************

Further More I have Elphie and her witch hat.






The hat was done with two 12x12 sheets of Polka Daisy/Dandelion Wish for the hat and  Summer Dots/Sun Burst for the flowers. I added the Beautiful sentiment and the pointing heart arrows at the last minute and those are also from the New Sentiment Fairy Tale set.

Now to send you to the next stop and that would be with our lovely talented designer Sandie .

A quick thank you to my bestie Angela wood for your input and help with my projects. I love her she's so sweet :)
