Time for some Girl Fun!!

My jars of Ribbons look colourful on the shelf but rarely get used these days

But today the tiniest length of green ribbon is used to make a small bow for one of my "birds"

Well I've never made a "Rocker" card before today but it was quite easy and fun...  I am playing along with the Butterfly Challenge  #135  "R" for Rocker Card.  --- I used all seven 'R' elements on my card.
I used a small bowl to trace around, on white card and carefully cut it out - then followed the directions to create a "Stepped" version .... cut some bright feathery DP for the front of the card and a small piece of dark green for the back step.  Then stamped the 'crazy birds' in black ink and used coloured pencils to colour them in.... using the three colours required for the challenge - Rifle Green, Raspberry and Rajah (pale orange), then fussy cut them out.  I decided to make them into 'girls' - added some smiles, eyelashes with fine black marker, then gave them headwear.... a ribbon bow, a shiny die cut pink butterfly, and turned the third ones curly top into a tiara with a silver gel pen and gems.  I arranged the "Birds" on the card with foam tape and then used a thin piece of acetate to 'raise up' the speech bubble which I printed on the computer.

Thanks for stopping by my blog  ----  have a Happy Day

Rainy Day Fun

This morning I've finished off my House Mouse and Friends card - HMFMC192 - the theme is April Showers - aren't they the cutest umbrellas and don't we all love to stand in the rain and get a little bit wet especially when it hasn't rained for months.

I created the background panel using mists and stencils and then not having any rainbow card I made this panel with my distress Inks and paintbrush so I'm also playing along with Time Out challenges #29 with my rainbow and as this is an 'Ombre' effect I'm posting to CAS.ology Week 143 as well.  Friday Mashup #206 - Singing in the Rain  also have a wonderful prompt photo with 'Umbrellas' as a theme.  Thanks for taking a peek Robyn
