Daydream Believer

This week on Polka Doodles we want to see a number on your card so I have made this card for a little girl and used a S.w.a.l.k stamp for my main image.
The papers are from the All around and everywhere C.d which is very cute.
I have coloured my image with copics:
E000,E00,E11,R20,E30,E31,E35,E37,
R85,R83,R81,Rv10,Yg21,Yg23,Yg25.

Apple pip

Over on the Sugar bowl blog  is a fab sketch for the latest challenge and I thought I would have a go because I have just got this cute stamp and was desperate to ink it up.

The flower are bought flowers but the leaves are spellbinders 'foliage'.

Copic colours are:

Molly Blooms Santa

Another Christmas card from me which is surprising because I do not normally start this early but I did notice the shops town are starting to get the festive bits in.
My children are all back at school and I am missing them being around already but it does mean I can get a little me time to craft in the day time which is lovely.
The new Molly blooms Christmas stamps are now out and I love this Santa he looks like he's been very busy.

Retailers selling the stamps can be found here and the complete collection is gorgeous.

I have used my grand nesties for the card base and the Poinsettias and tree branch are Marianne creatable.

I have also used 'Silent' night stamp from magnolia in the background.
I would like to enter this in the Papertake Weekly challenge which is anything goes.
