Kingfisher Blues.

I'm finally back into my email account and have had to wade through hundreds of emails that had stacked up over the past 4 weeks. I thought that I had managed to keep track of all your comments under each blog post but still found 53 peeps who I had missed out on so if you haven't heard from me of late I'm on my way!!
It is the start of a new challenge over on the Butterfly blog.
#105 Spin The Butterfly Wheel with the Letter E.
With the nice summer that we have had I decided to stamp/print lots of images onto various white card stock and take myself outside most days and sit and colour/paint then in. Here are just two of them that I have done for this challenge.

1st Card is using a digi image by  Delicious Doodles called 'Kingfisher in the rushes'.
I have gone with. Emerald/ Embossing folder/Butterfly + Eucalyptus on the Kingfisher and Electric Yellow on the butterflies.

I have coloured using my Graph'it markers and a silver gel pen. The dragonflies have a silver sparkle pen added to their wings. The embossing folder is by Creative Expressions called 'Bark' which I thought quite appropriate to use with this image.  Sentiment is a silver sticker from my stash.

2nd card  is a Magnolia Stamp Loving Tilda. I must confess to owning 16 different Tilda stamps that have never been used so I stamped them out onto water colour card and set myself the pleasant  task of colouring/painting each of them in. This is the first one.  (15 to go!!). I used graph'it markers for colouring her clothes, hair and the rose. For her body parts I used my Marvy Le PlumeII water colour pens. The rose and butterfly sticker I have had for ages (its one of those puffy 3D affairs). Bow and the gold stickers were from my stash. The paper is an old one free from Making Cards magazine June 2013 called Busy Bees. The flower paper is also a freebie from a magazine but I don't have a name to go with it.

Hope I have inspired you to come and play along. Challenge is back to its normal 2 weeks.
