Milk it!

The challenge at There She Goes Stamps this week is a lovely sketch http://tsgclearstamps.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/tsg200-sketch-challenge.html

I flipped it on it's side, dug out the "Oh Crop" set and came up with this punny little number ;-)

I stamped the adorable little cow image onto copic colouring card (I use a coated cardstock from Rymans) and coloured with warm greys and bisque and then fussy cut her out.  The DP circles were cut from a double-sided 6x6 sheet from Papermania Happy Days pad - I love the vintage tins.  I used some lovely washi tape to create a border around my kraft base by simply folding it in half over the edge.  I added a sentiment made up of half a sentiment from the Ninja set and the really funny milk it sentiment from Oh crop.  I finished with a few milk bottles stamped on white and fussy cut to emphasise the sentiment.  I do love the punny and interesting sentiments TSG always include with their sets - great to mix and match with too.

Shades of Green

There's been an awful lot of pink on my blog this week - which is really not one of my normal go to colours, so I thought it was about time we got back into my green and blue comfort zone and today is all about the green.....

Contrary to popular belief (and according to my DH who is a Japanophile) Ninja's never wore black, just dark colours so colouring this little fella green isn't as daft as it seems!  I coloured him with copics, added come glitter to his cupcake frosting and stamped the gift onto DP before colouring the ribbon with copics again for depth.   It's actually for a birthday tomorrow but I'm pretty sure the recipient doesn't look at my blog so we're safe to post it without spoiling the surprise.

The challenge at There She Goes which is the company that makes the two stamp sets I've used here is to use shades of green http://tsgclearstamps.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/tsg198-color-challenge.html and was the inspiration for the card.   However, with it being so close to the day the world turns green (St Patrick's if you don't know) there are quite a few other challenges that also want to see green so I'm entering into the following challenges as well:
