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!

Lacy Sunshine Ch #7 - Monochrome

Hey Everyone - hope you're all enjoying a lazy Sunday!  I have some really exciting news to share with you all today ..... I've been bursting at the seams trying to keep it in, but I can now reveal I am officially a SUNSHINE GIRL!

A couple of weeks ago, the lovely and extremely talented Heather Valentin, invited me to join her fabulous team over on the Lacy Sunshine Challenge Blog.  As you may be aware from my last few blogs, I'm a little lot besotted with her images and so, of course, my answer was a very excitable YES!!! I feel so honoured to be asked to join this amazing team and would like to thank them all for making me feel so welcome!

Heather has an amazing array of images to choose from, which can be found HERE at
The Official and Only Authorized Shop for Heather Valentin Digital Stamps

Today is the start of Challenge #7 - Monochrome

We've been having a lot of fun with The Gnomes of Gnarly Wood over the last couple of weeks and, for my card today, Heather sent me this fab new image called Winston - Something Fishy!


I just love this image - poor old Winston getting in a right proper pickle and Mr naughty black and blue fishy (obvious choice of colours for a fish ....) having a good old chuckle at Winston's expense!! 

I coloured this fab duo with my Copics:
Black tones:  C0, 1, 3, 5, 7      Blue tones:   B12, 93, 95, 97   Skin tones:  E000, 00, 21, R11


The sentiment is from a Daisy & Dandelion clear stamp set and the backing papers are from the NitWits collection 'Candle and Cakes'.

We'd love for you to pop on over and see what some of the other gnomes have been getting up to - and, of course, to take part in this fabulous challenge.  The DT have created some fantastic inspiration for you all.

I would like to enter Winston into the following:

Card Crafter's Circle #72 - Boys to Men
Paper Crafting Journey - Use a Sentiment
The Paper Shelter #109 - For the Boys
The Stamping Chef - All Boy

Thanks so much for popping by today!
Big hugs, xx
