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

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

Purple- Orchid, Amethyst and Lavender

Yellow – Citrine, Banana and mimosa

Grey Cat – Cool Greys  3, 5, 7

Domestic Goddess

I’ve been very busy behind scenes lately making loads and loads of samples for our next launch at La Pashe. So yesterday I became a domestic Goddess and here is my results.

It has been ages sice i did this sort of thing because quite frankly it just doesn’t go hand in hand with being good and choosing the healthy options in food, especially if like me guissy pig comes to mind.

I know you are counting them knowing that one is missing.

cakes1

It was fun getting to this stage, I may even confess that some icing just fell into my mouth.

Some icing swirls.

And some cheating wafer daisies

Yum yum do you think?

Now before I let you go thinking that one of the cakes is buried deep inside my tummy, here is the reason and it isn’t Grandson Jack.

They’re FAKE they are props for my next launch.
