Gone Fishing!

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all well .
I'm on a roll at the moment with my card~making......think it has something to do with having a week off work, although how I'm managing it I don't know.....what with working around plumbers, plasterers and endless amounts of dust and mess......mind you if you could see my craft room at the moment!!!!!
Anyway despite all that I have another card to share.

I've had this little chap coloured up for ages.....this is 'Fishing George' from Molly Blooms. I have coloured using Promarkers and the papers are from BasicGrey ~ Marjolaine. I have added some buttons and twine from my stash and pearls from The Hobby House and I've finished off by adding some Glossy Accents to his wellingtons and the little jar with the fish inside.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:~
Inky Impressions  ~ Let's Hear It For The Boys Little Red Wagon ~ # 153 ~ Buttons Bonanza! Crafty Sentiments ~ Happy Birthday Passion For Promarkers ~ # 169 ~ For A Man/Youth Totally Stampalicious ~ Anything Goes

Well I'm away now to paint metal garden furniture and some radiators.....what joy....who said this was a week off work?.....

Goodbye Summer!!!!

Good evening everyone.
Well the central heating is on, so I guess that's the end of Summer......if it ever began in the first place!!!!
Today I have a card to share.....I'm afraid not in keeping with the weather but I've had this little madam coloured for ages so thought it was time to give her a home on a card.

The image is of course a Molly Bloom image called Sunshine Molly. I have coloured her with Promarkers and I think the papers are from Papermania......The leaf die is from Marianne Creatables and the flowers are retro daisy punches. I have completed the card using some satin ribbon and pearls from The Hobby House.

The image is from Molly Blooms and I used this particular one as mum always says that 'Molly' reminds her of her eldest granddaughter.....Chloe.
I have coloured using Promarkers. The papers are from my scraps box and the Kraft card is from a local garden centre.....Papermania, I think.  The flowers, pearls and lace are from The Hobby House.
