Ladybug Crafts Ink...Suzy

Hello me lovelies

This post will be scheduled because i have a busy day food shopping etc etc...oh what fun!! {NOT!!} Lol

I have used another Skinny Malinky from Ladybug Crafts Ink and she is called "Suzy"...classy girl who has stopped off for cuppa and a cupcake before she heads back to what a girl does best...SHOPPING!! Lol

Anyhoo Ladybug Crafts Ink started their new challenge on Tuesday and its a WOW {white on white} challenge which made me think that i haven't done one of these cards for a long time so i gave it a go and here's what i came up with...hope you likey :)

Yes i know i have coloured the image but i am sure that will be okay *fingers crossed*

I am not totally happy with the image because as i was colouring i dropped my marker and it landed on my background so i decided i colour it all with the colour i dropped and it made it look a little dark...i know what your going to ask....Why not just print another off??
Unfortunately my ink has run out so i couldn't do that so i just thought what the heck just go with it!!

Shadow Stamping...

Hello me lovelies

I was hoping to have this blog post up before now but i had a doctors appointment this morning to have some bloods taken because a couple of weeks back i went to doctors for a tablet check and the nurse had noticed i was poorly again so she decided it was best to take some bloods to see what's going on.
Anyhoo they came back that i have slightly high Cholesterol and that they think i might have Diabetes so they wanted another blood test to check the numbers again so i went to have them done again this morning, i will get the results back next Tuesday so lets see what that brings!!

Right me lovelies enough of the old waffle about me and on with today's card...it's a one layer card with shadow stamping on it and the reason for this is because as i've been having a good old nosey around blogland i had seen lots of stunning cards with this fab technique on so i thought i'd give it a go and this is what i have come up with...hope you likey :)

I was also inspired by this lovely weather we are having at the moment so i thought i'd add a orange circle which represents the lovely warmish weather we are having and it's nice to see that beautiful sun in the sky.
