Vintage Evie!

Vintage is one of my favourite styles and this Victorian Steampunk Evie from Tickled Pink Stamps is a favourite image of mine - she has such dreamy eyes! I recently ordered some more copics to extend my range (of 5 cool greys haha). Well, I ordered a selection of colours and more greys, and what do you think I had to use - the warm greys (cant seem to easily budge from my monotone colouring hehe). But I think it suits this card.

The Sugary Sweet Fashionista!!

There is another amazing sketch challenge over at the Sugar Bowl this week (here) which has a sketch and "Use your scraps" theme. I have heaps of scraps and cant bear to put them in the bin. I love using paper pads and I keep any scraps from that pad inside the front cover to keep it all together - works for me anyway. I'm loving using Kraft at the moment, and think this works well with the b/w image - quite girly dont you think!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and for all your lovely comments, I love reading them.
