Lilibet's Monkey Hut.

Hello - We are back at The Paper Shelter this week and the theme is back to school.... How quick has the summer gone... (What Summer ??)


I've used an image called Swag  along with papers from Simple Stories Smarty Pants. I cut the edge off with a My Favourite things scalloped edge die. The wooden Cool embellishment is from Hobbycraft and the letters are all from Doodlebug.

I used Prismacolour pencils to colour the image and promarkes for his skin.
Jacket - Orange and Yellowed orange
Jeans - Cloud Blue, Copenhagen Blue & Indigo Blue
Tshirt - Putty Beige & 20%  Cool grey
Hat - Chartreuse, Apple Green & Grass green
Hair - Dark Brown, Dark Umber & Putty Beige.
Shading - 20% Cool Grey &  70% Cool Grey.

Hope you like him and will join in the competition for your chance to win...

See you again soon,
Liz (:(|)x

Morning all
Its a new challenge over at The Paper Shelter and the theme is "BACK TO SCHOOL." I have used an image called She is adorable.


I used paper from Echo Park - Teachers pet collection and layered these in the base card. I then used Lawn Fawn stitched hillside board and stitched edge board on the white base. I coloured the image and then cut around her before sticking her onto the card with 3d foam. I used some glaze on her glasses and alphabet stamps to spell out the greeting. Finally I added some colour co-ordinating enamel dots.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image-
Skin - Antique white, blush, soft peach, coral, Spice with Antique pink lips and Baby pink cheeks.
Shoes - Red, Ruby & Burgundy.
Skirt - Warm grey 5 to 2.
Top - Honeydew & Pastel green.
Hair - Buttercup, Pineapple Crush, Mustard & Sleigh Bells.
Jumper - Tan & Satin.
Bag - Dove grey & Reef blue.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
