Printed onto a thin page, probably better for sketching, but you go with what you have and I wanted this to be an A4 size.

Happy Birthday to me

Where I live has been quite hot, meaning, glues run, paints dry quickly etc.  So quietly watching TV last night, I pulled out my bullet diary and started drawing and doodling.  The monster image is from Twistoon.  Check out her FB page as she is now running a monthly progressive challenge, this was the image I received for January "Monster"

I only used pencils and coloured permanent markers.  Although the monster was coloured with
copic pens and has been mounted with a wobble spring.

Fuchsia

One of the plants that are in my top 10 is Fuchsia.  Love them and do have them in my garden. Sadly, nowhere as many as I did have, we had a new fence put in several years ago, and apparently they don't like being disturbed, now I keep them in hanging baskets or pots.

This image is from Beccy's Place, if you check out her site, this month you will be able to get both a coloured and black and white image of her Fuchsia.

Coloured with copic pens and die cut, stamped sentiment completes the card.

Wishing you a Good Day.

Here is "Chibi Flowerpot Peeker" from Bugaboo ans it is this months freebie at The Outlawz Monthly freebie progressive challenge.

As always a cute image from Bugaboo.  I have printed her with the rectangle, circle and banner outlines from a sketch that can be found at Crafting with Vicky.  Turned and flipped.

The image has been coloured with copic pens, the circle has been printed a second time, punched and added with a 3d dimension.  (My weird mind sees her sitting on a shelf in front of a window)
