Lillie - Pink Petticoat

Another print from Pink Petticoat coloured with Prisma pencils and mounted onto red card stock. I stamped a floral border by Penny Black onto a turquois card staock and punched a scallop edge to matching paper and punched holes across the top and slotted red ribbon through the hole and tied into a knot.

I finished by adding a paper blossom and added a red button to the center.

Enter The Dragon - Dragon Fruit

On a shopping spree I came across this weird and wonderful item in the fruit section of my supermarket, it name is Dragon Fruit and it is imported from Vietnam. It was quite pricey but I new I had to give it a try.

Gosh what a surprise inside not at all what I was expecting,

once I'd cut it I wasn't really sure what to do with it, so, I took a spoon & scooped out a little to try.

Now to try to explain the texture and taste, well the texture is very similar to a watermelon and the taste is like a weak honey melon very disappointing as I was expecting it to be tangy similar to passion fruit.

I ate half and then gave the other half to my neighbour as he is a bit green fingered and is going to try to grow some of the seeds. I'll let you know how he gets on.

Lola Rose - Pink Petticoat

This is anoth Pink Petticoat image named Lola Rose, I coloured her using prisma pencils and matted the image using Nestibilies and contrasting card stock, the pattened paper is by Papertrei Ink. I used the Scor-Pal to add the embossed lines to the base card and tied it all together with a burn't orange satin ribbon and 3 punched out flowers.

Floral Beauty - Prisma Pencils

Although this stamp (Large Wisteria 1161S ) is one of my favorites it is also the largest I've ever found, it is an A5 size and comes from Beeswax Stamps it is what I call a challenge stamp as it is like an etching with no clear defined lines.
I stamped the image in Archival black ink directly onto the card then selected some prisma pencils, 2 green, 2 lavender blue, 1 pink & 1 darker blue. I coloured the image and used baby oil to blend the colours.
I cut out the oval for the Lady with nestabilities and added it to the card so it was encircled in the wisteria, and stamped Bloom along the bottom of the card.

Does My Bum Look Big In This...

Tomorrow is my Daughter Lauren's 21st Birthday and unlike my other Daughter Natalie she likes quite Girly things.

I don't do Girly Cards, so why I started this one I'll never know.

I used Woman of life stamp set for the flower background and I used Pink Petticoat download images for the hippo I coloured the hippo in paint shop pro.
