Ismaki Challenge #36 by Manue

This week over on the Ismaki Blog there is a lovely sketch by Manue, complete with the option of using "pearls"....mine are missing as I couldn't find them....but will be adding them later. I have used an image available from DewDrop Crafts which has been coloured with ProMarkers using the following colours...
Ivory/Blush (Skin)
Cocoa/Apricot (Hair)
Pastel Pink (Dress, but only highlights)
Warm Grey 2(Suit)
Warm Grey 4 (Shoes)
Ruby (Necklace & Heart)
The papers and embellishments are all from the KI Memories Love Elsie "Betty" range. and the sentiment has been added via an epoxoy sticker from the same range and a barcode stamp by Autumn Leaves.

I love the simplicity of the sketch, and think it turned into a fun but understated card....so thanks Manue and the rest of the DT for your inspiration.

Hello from almost sunny Looe (Cornwall) and a card...

Well we arrived in Looe in the rain....again, I don't think I have ever crossed the Tamar Bridge when it wasn't raining...LOL. So we are now settled in, but sadly my 3 Mobile Internet dongle doesn't seem to be able to connect...so I have splashed out and paid £20 for a weeks access on the holiday site with Spectrum...yay. After all the rain yesterday we have been very lucky today and the predicted rain for this afternoon has still not shown up, so we spent the morning on the beach and David & Georgia are now in the swimming pool....so peace and quiet for me as I have left my Dad in the bar with a beer watching the football...seems like half the men are in there...beer in hand and cheering.

So, on to the card. I have done a card for Friday Sketchers I have used my new Manga/Anime stamp again, as I just love it, and also think it is a fab stamp for teenager cards. I seem to have a little crafting time when I take Georgia back to bed, and leave the men in the bar...so tonight I am planning on another card....or maybe some more work on my holiday mini book (or not so mini book).

Anyway, I hope everyone is enjoying some quality crafting time.

New Manga/Anime style stamps exclusive to DewDrop Crafts

As soon as I saw these stamps over on UKScrappers, I just had to order them...they are so lovely, and very unlike any others on the market at the moment. I really do hope they have more designs on the way...cause I NEED more.

I have used as mentioned the DewDrop Crafts stamp and coloured her with my ProMarkers for that Manga/Anime looke...well I hope I did the stamps and style justice. The Papers are My Minds Eye "Magnolia! range and also Fancy Pants...they were part of a Jenni Bowlin kit from back in Feb 2007. The ribbons is by Hobby Craft and I have added some bling and a sentiment with my ATB Tape Writer.

Hope you like this first attempt with these stamps...check them out on DewDrop Crafts.
