Autumn

Afternoon all i have my card for Little Darlings to share today this time i chose a Saturated Canary stamp available at the store she is called Autumn and so much fun to colour with all that gorgeous hair ,ive coloured her with copics although she nearly didnt make it onto a card as i had a bit of an ink incident on the rake she is holding i managed to drop a red pen and make a big splodge !! thanks to a blender pen i got it mostly out but still had to do a cover up job so she is now holding a brush lol!!

Meet Murray.....

Hi lovelies no card today instead i thought i would show you what i have made this week ,ive made bears on and off for a few years and recently saw a couple made of material instead of fur which looked really sweet so thought i would give it a go ,so here is Murray ..... i asked my other half what i should call him all bears need a name right !! and seeing as he is made of tartan and more to the point he had just stayed up half the night watching mr Murray win the US Open declared that is was Murray !!! his tummy is filled with glass beads so he is nice and squishy and sits nicely (nightmare with bag of beads tho !!! all over desk ,floor ,in printer etc say no more !!!)
