Saturday was my husbands birthday , he is pictured in the kitchen modelling his mask ( think we are going to have to wear these when shopping). I gave him some money to buy an album and bought him the rudbeckia and a terracotta pot (pictured on the decking) that he loved.  I also made him a large decoupaged cricket card , he also loved .
The cricket card is Hunkdory and the gold die cut edge is a Sue Wilson noble square die. Not sure if the perfect husband is quite true , but he is lovely.

No Line Colouring using sweet some bunny

If you have time on your hands and lots of alcohol markers and well patience ....then try no line colouring.

I stamped MFT sweet somebunny stamps in London Fog memento ink , very lightly . Then used a combination of pro markers, brush markers and copic markers to colour , basically working from the outside darkest colour  to inside light .You can add the little faces in later with a pen , on one , the standing bunny in the orange dress , I used a bit of pencil ,just a cheap propelling pencil. I did add highlights of white gel pen , I can't help myself . I don't think they are perfect , but never the less I'm quiet pleased.
Would I colour all my images this way ...well if I did I would not make many cards because it takes an age . Maybe with practise I'll get quick.

Tell me what you think .
