Lacy Sunshine Challenge 7

Hello all, the challenge over at Lacy Sunshine this week is to do a monochromatic project.
Here is my DT card

Meet Rambling Reginold, one of the Gnomes of Gnarly Wood, who can be found here. Please make sure this is the only place you buy images by Heather Valentin. Anyone else selling them is doing so illegally.

I have coloured Reg's skin with GI's and the rest of him with Copics. I am waiting on some more GI's arriving, as I absolutely love them! They have become my favourite colouring medium. I get mine from Polka Doodles as I find them the cheapest around, and the fastest delivery which as a crafter is very important as we always want everything yesterday! And I'm sure if Nikky could deliver yesterday, she would!

The papers are a mag freebies which I've had for a while. I've used a set of Spellbinder dies for the image and message panel. Which I have distressed with a Festive Berry distress ink pad from Tim Holtz. The embossed hanger is die cut from a Tim Holtz Sizzix die and embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. I've used a couple of jump ring to hang the image. And the sentiment is from a Stampin Up stamp set.

Good news

Hello blogland. Today I have some exciting news to share with you. As you know I have been using some of the lovely images drawn by Heather Valentin, which you can buy here at Lacy Sunshine Please don't buy them from anywhere else as they are selling them illegally.
Anyhoo, after Heather seeing my cards I was asked to join the team and become a sunshine girl! Well, how could I refuse, especially seeing as sunshine is my favourite thing! lol

It's all still quite new so this is only their second challenge, why not come and join us at the Lacy Sunshine challenge blog.
The challenge this week is your favourite colour combo.
This is my card.

I've used my fave colour combo of blue and pink. I've coloured Maddie with ProMarkers and FlexMarkers. The papers were a mag freebie and the sentiment is from Stampin Up. I've added a doily and some ribbon and flowers from my stash. I've used a Spun Sugar and Broken China distress inks on the sentiment and image.

Mad as a Hatter!

You all know how much I love Alice In Wonderland, which was obviously rekindled due the the new Tim Burton version! I wonder why, lol
Well as soon as I saw this image on Lacy Sunshine I knew I HAD to have it! Now I NEED to find a hat like it!

I've coloured the image with ProMarkers and FlexMarkers. I've also left quite a few white areas which seems to scare some people, but with all the red I thought it didn't need anything else.
The papers are more mag freebies, (I promised myself I would use all these up) and the tea cup papers were perfect for this image! The sentiment is from Stampin Up, and the ribbon from my stash. I've inked around the edges of the papers and image with black ink to make them pop out.
