A new year and our very first 2015 challenge at TTPHC

Hi there!

Have you all finished eating all of the lovely rich goodies we sneak onto our plates at Christmas?

Yes indeed...phew i didn't overeat but i did see a few too many roast turkey dinners!

This week over at TTPHC we are sponsored by Aurora Wings and we have all used the lovely Sprite collection .  Now these links are to the web page on the big old WWW but if you want the Etsy link here it is Etsy Aurora Wings

So onto my DT make.

I made myself a journal....hoping to write the daily things that go on in my life that makes me laugh or cry...the thing i hated the most was that my second entry of the year was to say my cousin had died at the age of 20 that day....so not the greatest of starts.

I used papers , paper butterflies, coloured doilies and chipboard letters in pastel colours.

Its a A4 book so the image is actually quite big although the photos were a bit meh! That time of year dull and dismal uggh ...will try and add some better ones later.

Colours used on the Bluebell sprite:

Skin E000, 00, 01, 02

Green stem YG 00, 21, 23, 25

flowers and outfit BV 000, 00, 01, 02, 08

Thanks for looking 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A rather productive day!

Today seems to be a productive day with yet another Aurora Wings digi image.....now if i said i wasnt addicted to these lovely whimsical images i would be telling a huge fat fib!

So here is my second card depicting a Aurora Wings image.....

This lovely image is Whimsical Hydrangea 

 I had a lovely wooden "A" that i decided to make well a bit  more......fairly straight forward the most complicated and time consuming was the image...and i love htese images.

I hope you like what i decided to make?

#52 Anything goes with TTPH

Hi there what a wonderful weather we are having...i just came back from a week of camping and it was beautiful weather although a little hot for sightseeing it was just right for water fights!

This week i am announcing my blog hop winner from the TTPH blog hops that we has and this one is the prize for my own blog candy birthday give away!

The winner is Hazel (Dido's) 

Thanks to everyone kind enough to leave lovely comments and joining my blog xx

So email me at blake389@outlook.com with your address details and will get that posted to you!  Many thanks for all your comments and for hopping with us on a daily basis!

Now onto this weeks challenge.....Anything goes.....nice and easy right?

I was lucky enough this week to have a digi from Aurora Wings to play with called 

Japanese Oiran in Kimono Spider Lily (No-Skull Version)  

 Mitzi does some amazing work which is easily incorporated into your cards or blown up as large as you want it to make just as amazing detailed pictures....with lots of detail and the sky is the limit!  I decided to water colour my image with my distress ink pads....which in concept is really easy. All you have to do is dab your ink pad on a tile or craft sheet and add a little water and it becomes a water colour ink!  Which i have never done before so am a  little unsure of the results really.

So i coloured her by using my TH distress ink pads as water colours and this card is really easy to do.....just a case of some paers that were distressed, a piece of purple ribbon and a few lilac half pearls

Oh and a birthday sentiment......not the greatest pics but all i have as i have mislaid my camera....i know where it is i just cant get to it till the car comes back from the garage tomorrow after stranding me at the beach yesterday much to the chortles and delight of my three sons!

Enjoy and thanks for looking!
