Keep Off The Grass

Hey there,

I made this cute, little hedgie card for this week's CASology Challenge - 

where the cue word is 

GRASS

 Usually, I cut my 'grass' pieces into random shapes, with scissors, but I wanted a cleaner look for this CAS card, so I die cut my papers with an oval nestie. Then I attached them to the card panel and trimmed off the edges. It's much neater that way and gives you that little embossed edge along the top.

The hedgie is coloured with Copics and fussy cut and the sentiment is a little snippet of cream card,

stamped with the sentiment and glittered along the edges.

 

Supplies.

Stamps - Penny Black 'Critter Party'  Personal Impressions 'Mixed Sentiments'

DP - First Edition 'Bird Song'     Memory Box Cloud Dies

Memento Ink 'Bamboo Leaves    Glamour Dust     Copics

Orange - It's not just for Halloween!!

I love this week's 'orange' challenge over at The Pink Elephant. It's a colour I don't often use but it can look really stunning... just check out the DT work over there, to see what I mean.
I took ages colouring this image, it's so gorjuss that I wanted it to be perfect, plus I knew that my new close up lens would show every error.
It's the first time I have tried to colour black hair too, so even though it's not perfect I am very happy with it.

I made this into a 'thinking of you card' because to me, the image has a slight melancholy feel to her. Does anyone else get that?
