In the Pink

Morning all.  I hope you are all very much 'in the pink' as that's exactly what we need for our new challenge at Make My Monday.  I decided that, with Mother's Day coming up soon in the UK, I would make a Mum card.  I chose an adorable little dog stamp from Penny Black. He's holding a cute rose for his mum.  I already had a very pink background from my basket of premade layouts.  It's good to be getting rid of a few of these.  I've got tonnes of scrap papers to create more when I've made room in the basket.

I'm not sure it's very much my mum in style so I might give it Anna next door from Bertie (the dog).  Damn, I should have coloured him black! Besides, Bertie in real life is so much more adorable.

Over to you now.  Let's see your pink creations please. Thanks for reading.

Critters

Morning all.  Are you ready for the new Make My Monday Challenge?  Critters are the order of the day.  They can be birds, animals or insects.  I have to say that when I hear the word critter I think of something that scurries.  Don't know why.  I'd got some sweet butterflies coloured up to go on a card but they didn't fit, in my mind, to the word critter.  Off I went in search of mice.  Mice would definitely fit the bill.  I ended up digging out an ancient stamp from Penny Black.  

I'm trying to take inspiration from Anesha at Crafting Queen and use some of the endless unfinished bits I've got lying around.  I'm not sure I will find some of the stunning stuff she seems to find but I have got a basket of pre-done layouts I've made with scraps of papers.  I found a colourful one and coloured my image with pinks and yellows and blue (the blue was a bit of a fail as it wasn't as green when I coloured it as when I'd swatched it beforehand). Anyway, here it is.

I'm not very good at fur but I'm quite pleased with this.  I did cover some of the image, along with the sentiment, in sparkle pen.  I also added bling because that's what I do.  I can't seem to leave the gemstones alone, can I. Anyway, now it's your turn.  Let's see your critters please.  You can even use butterflies if you wish.

Thanks for reading.
