IZZY FOR TWO CHALLENGES...

...nice to see some rain in the UK, but don't you just hate getting wet...those blinkin school runs...lol....actually, I haven't got that far to go, so we do walk...takes all of 5 mins, but just enough to feel the rain creeping up from the bottom of my jeans....grrr...but I'm grateful we can walk...

Anyway, on to my card......here's my entry for Papertake Weekly - a super sketch from Dawny, which I did turn on it's side....and A Spoonful of Sugar, where the theme is Halloween.



I've used Izzy, but as this card is for Caitlin, I wanted it to be be a bright, cheery creation....and she really is too cute to spook!... (by the way, I stole the sentiment from my DT Liz...as she made a super card using it recently).

I was VERY careful using my black copic marker, and didn't go right to the edge of Izzy's coat and hat, as marker pens tend to bleed a little...The rest of the image is coloured with PM's and then a soft lilac blue copic to outline the image. I cut the little bat out of an image on my Halloween sheet....and added just a tinsy bit of sparkle to Izzy's hat and gloves.

I love green and pink together...but these papers are actually a christmas set from Papermania last year...So.....who said witches can't be cute?

Hope you like.

Sally-Ann..xx

Hi,

Aw, this really is way too cute. I love it. Help yourself to any sentiment you may like on my blog. I pinch them (I mean take inspiration)from US blogs I stalk, they seem to be more into words than us Brits.

I don't do the school run anymore.. first time in 14years!!! and i don't miss the soggy days... i reckon that it only starts raining when the kids go or come home from school it could be clear as a bell . but come home time... the heavens open!!!
