Art By Miran Challenge 49

Hi there,

How are you all? I hope you had a lovely Christmas/New Year break. I had planned to do plenty of crafting however the family had other ideas, good family time though. I did manage to fit in one card over the break but I can't believe how long it took to make, I guess I procrastinate when I have lots of time.

Here it is;

I rather like this lovely lady, her name is Lily and you can find her here. For the past year I decided to try and use all my papers without buying any more. That is what I did with this card. Well I seemed to have gotten over that for 2016, I bought 14 new paper pads on sale, whoops. Now I have no idea where to start, I have so much to choose from. Oh well, it will make me get in there and craft.

I hope you will all manage to fit in some crafty time soon and join us for Art By Miran Challenge 49.
Happy crafting

Cheers Nicole

Hi everyone,

What weather we have had here lately. So hot and it is only November. I hope we are not in for a super hot Summer as that does not result in productive crafting. I do love Summer though.

So today's card is using another pretty image from Art by Miran called Nivanna. She looks so pretty and relaxed in the field of flowers so I thought that Tracy Wray's sentiment would go perfectly.

Here she is;

Blue and yellow is one of my favourite colour schemes, it makes me feel so warm and summery and I think it takes me back to being a teenager when I had blue and gold stars all through my room. I rather like how this one turned out and I guess my MIL did too as it has already been snapped up.

I hope you are having a lovely day and thank you so much for dropping by.

Cheers Nicole

Hi Everyone,

What a super busy week I have had. The kids were back to School this week and they finished the week with their Sports Carnival. It was a great day however we are all exhausted now. I think I will now just chill with some relaxing colouring.

I have a sweet and simple card for you today for this weeks Challenge at Art by Miran. I felt I was neglecting my embossing folders so I thought I would bring them out for a try. I am quite happy with the result.

Here it is;

 

This gorgeous girl is called Sweet and Sassy and I think she just looks so fun. I had a lot of fun colouring her. The embossing folder was a magazine freebie and I am very happy with the way it turned out, it gave a great finish and I love that it is a square folder. I must use them more.

Thanks for dropping by today and I hope you have a lovely week.

Cheers Nicole

Hi there,

I hope you are well and enjoying some lovely weather. Today's card is a lovely floral card using the very pretty Valentina. I love her long, long hair and her elegant dress.

Here she is;

I quite like how this one turned out, this is very much my style, not too simple but not over the top. I hope you like it too.

Well it is School Holidays here and the kids are 'bored' so I had better show them some love.

Happy crafting everyone.
Cheers Nicole

Art by Miran Challenge 41

Hi everyone,

What glorious weather we are having here in Perth lately, I can smell Summer in the air. Hooray! The warmer weather makes it so much easier to craft so I have been having some fun colouring up some fabulous Art by Miran images. I fell in love with the image I am showing off today as soon as I saw it. Her hair is just mesmerising.

Here she is;

This beauty is called 'Flower Flourish'  and I felt that she was just crying out for some fiery red hair. I had forgotten how much I love this hair combo. She really is the star here so I decided to keep my card fairly simple just with a few DCWV Citrus papers and of course some pretty gems.

I hope your crafting is going well this week, hubby is away for the weekend so I am going to get plenty of colouring in.

Happy crafting everyone.
Cheers Nicole

Art by Miran Challenge 40

Hi there,

I hope you are all well, I am feeling fabulous as the sun has been shining and I can see the first glimpses of Spring. My card for you today is using the gorgeous Art by Miran digi stamp Flutterby. I love her fabulous wings, if I were a fairy these would be my style of wings.

Here she is;

My colouring was inspired by this months technique class challenge from Kit and Clowder. I am enrolled in both the skin and hair class as well as the clothing class so I thought I would combine both topics in my colouring this time. I have used the streaks lesson for her hair and the sheer clothing lesson for her dress. The dress is supposed to be a pink sheer layer over a deep green under layer, I am fairly happy with the result for a first time effort at both.

I hope you like this pretty lady as much as I do. Make sure you check out other fabulous creations from the super talented team over on the ABM challenge blog. Happy crafting everyone

Cheers Nicole
