Angelina’s Balloons
As a child I remember rubbing a balloon on my hair to make the balloon static and sticking it on walls, on someone's back or anywhere that I could get it to stick. Of course my children did it too and in fact their Dad (Chris) still does it, I don’t think he will ever grow up ha ha!
Angelina’s Balloons from Mo’s Digital Pencil
I made an easel card with the image as I really didn’t know where I was going with it, I first punched out the heart on the card with the image and tied a bow around the top, knowing that it needed something else I matted it with blue card and then it sat there on my desk for a little while, I often do this, mainly because once I start colouring I get so carried away that I end up colouring several images up. So this was the one I played with a little until I was happy.
I coloured her in Blue, did you know that way way back Pink was a boys colour and Blue a girls?

NutCracker
I’m still having fun using the Graph’It markers, it is unbelievable just how vibrant they are, I don’t have a full set but what I do have is wonderful, I have the rest on my wish list. They are available at Polka Doodles at a very good price.
My card today is with the Drummer Nutcracker Soldier from Just Inklined
I used the reds from the Passion set :- Coral, Tomato and Ruby and also a little bit of Plum on the shading.
Blues from the Everest set :- Sky, Celestial and Lapis
Black, Cool Grey 7, 5 and 2
Yellow from the Sunny set :- Citrine, Banana and Mimosa
Skin :- Nude and Peach
Other news for me this weekend is that I picked up my new bike, love that it has front suspension, no wrist pain after a long ride, I did 15 miles today to try it out and I was very impressed.

Bewitched–Graph’It and Metallic Pan Pastels
I had a play with the metallic Pan Pastels, such intense colour, I had such amazing results using a Versafine ink pad and the copper Pan Pastels that I thought I would share it with you.
The fun of trying new products is in the experimenting don’t you think?
I used Tabitha by Mo’s Digital Pencil for my image as she is such a peach with her little kitty in hand.
I used a shimmer deep purple card and edged it with the versafine ink pad and a swirl stamp then dabbed on the metallic Copper Pan Pastel, the colour was rich and intense.
I used a cheap hairspray to set the Pastel.
Tabitha was coloured with the Graph’ It Markers available at Polka Doodles , again intense vibrant colour that makes your images pop.
Colours used
Green - Pistachio, Lime and Tuscany
Orange - Apricot, Mango and Halloween
Skin – Cotton, Powder, Skin and princess Rose for the blush
