New Baby 1

My boss at work, and friend Charlotte recently had her first baby so I had a few baby cards to make, on for Charlotte and her husband James, on for her mum, Mandy who was welcoming her first grandchild, and one for her granda, Johnny who was welcoming his first great grand child. So today I'm sharing the card I made for Johnny.

Lilac Teen

Teenagers are so difficult to make cards for - but I think this one would suit quite a lot of teen and pre-teen girls, and one or two boys too. Again I've kept the colour scheme simple with a black and white paper and pearlescent lilac card. Still experimenting with skin and hair colours with the everblend markers, still not happy with the skin.

Introverting in Blue

Today's project is a wee thing I created for my middle child, Willow. The plan is to put it into an 8x8" frame for her room. Willow's hair is currently cut and coloured just like this image so when I saw this image in Krista Smith's Etsy shop it reminded me of her, even more so when I realised it was called Introverting - that should be Willow's middle name!

This was one of the first projects I coloured with the Everblend markers so I was just experimenting with the colours here. The skin tones turned out quite a bit peachier and brighter than I like, but it has given a nice fresh looking effect that works for this project I think.

I teamed the image with monochromatic papers from a cheap 12x12" pad I got at B&M stores wayyyyyy before lockdown, as well as blue and black card from Papeterie Crafts.
