This is the card I made for Pink Cat Studio's Lily the Fairy contest. I have used Pink Petticoat background paper, Bazzill Swiss Dots, Sentiment from Craftwork cards, Bazzill purple cardstock, ribbon from my stash. I have coloured Lily with watercolour pencils and highlighted some areas with a silver gel pen. I added spots to the flowers and Lily's dress using a white gel pen. I just had to go one step further and gave her some bling in her ears - tiny self adhesive gem stones!

When blog hopping I came across the challenge blog from Friday Sketchers. As If I dont have enough hours in the day already, I thought I would do this one too - I love the sketches and the design teams work is brilliant. I have used here my favourite stamp - Billy from Pink Cat Studio. The background paper is Doodlebug Whimsical Winter Stripes, the semi circles are from Hot of the Press (forgotten what its name is), the blue ribbon I have recycled - think it was on a piece of clothing at one time, the sentiment is from Craft work cards. I have coloured Billy with water colour pencils and used a wet teabag and paint brush to stain the outer edges of the image background.

This is is my challenge from the Papertake weekly blog. This weeks challenge is another fab sketch from Katharina and the prize is one of her stamps from Whiff of joy.

This is one of my favourite stamps from Pink Cat Studio - His name is Billy. I have coloured him with watercolour pencils. The background paper which I have torn and inked is actually an envelope - thought I would do a bit of recycling too. The other papers are from Dovecrafts masculine collection. The sentiment comes from Craftwork cards.
