The weather here was gorgeous over the weekend, so more time was spent in the garden than in the craft room. Lots to get done this week though, so I’ll be in my craft room/at my computer every day, whatever the weather!
When my mojo disappeared recently, the one thing I did manage to do was colour in a stack of images. This lovely Tilda image from the Chasing Butterflies collection is one of those images, and she has been waiting patiently to emerge as a card.
This is one of my favourite images from the Chasing Butterflies collection. So sweet, and a delight to colour.
Unsurprisingly, Tilda has been coloured with Copic Markers, and you will find the colours listed at the end of this post. The puddle at her feet has been covered in Glossy Accents, as have the raindrops.
The News!
I have opened my own webshop - Quixotic Paperie - where I will be stocking some of my favourite craft supplies over the coming months.
For starters, we have a selection of charms and findings - one of my favourite way to embellish cards and other creations. The lovely “Believe” charm seen on the card in this post is available, along with a host of others.
To celebrate the opening of Quixotic Paperie, I have some blog candy to give away, including a selection of the charms currently available in the webshop.
You can be in with a chance of winning by:
1. Leaving a comment.
2. Telling everyone about the blog candy on your own blog.
Simple as that! A winner will be selected at random on Monday 15th June 2009, so you have until midnight Sunday 14th June to enter! I will send the prize worldwide.
Thank you for dropping by!
