A big welcome to all of my lovely followers and visitors to my little space in the crafting world of blogland! I love colouring, drool over every embellishment and love to 'look' at papers (never mind using them) - some are just TOO good to use lol. I hope you enjoy your little wander through my creative world and would love to feel that I may have inspired some of you in some small way. Happy Crafting to you all and I hope you will stop by again soon!

Melancholy Lenore Muffet

Good Evening all - hope you've all had a fabulous day!  I know, I bet you're all shocked to see me back so quick!!  Three posts in one day must be a record for me :)

I'm so excited to share with you this gorgeous little Melancholy Moppet called Lenore Muffet.  She is a recent release by the fabulous Heather Valentin and you can find many more beauties like her, amongst oodles of gorgeous characters, in the fabulous Lacy Sunshine store here.


I coloured the beautiful Lenore up with Copics - and, oh my, did I have fun with all those pleats!  
Blues:  B32, 93, 95, 97   Blacks:  W1, 3, 5, 7    
Creams:  E50, 51, 53    Skin:  E000, 00, 21

My gorgeous backing papers are, again, from the Maja Design Vintage Spring and you can find them here at LLC.  I matted onto some gorgeous black lace edging and inked up a doily to go directly behind Lenore.


Here's a little close up of the star of the show and, if you look close enough, you can see a string of pearls draped over her hat and another she is holding in her hand.  I applied liquid pearls to them to give them some depth and draped a string of pearls all around her beautiful portrait!  Honestly, if it's vintage you're looking for, Live and Love Crafts is THE place to find some amazingly, gorgeous papers and embellies.


The black leaves I die-cut using the velvet wrapping from leftover Christmas crackers from a few years back lol - they're actually pretty effective and cut really well :)  The beautiful heart locket is from my stash, as are the flowers, brad and twine.

Well, I hope you like my take on little Lenore Muffet and I do hope I've done her justice to show how exquisite she really is!

I'd like to enter this little Moppet into the following:
