I only have time for a quick post today but I'll be back with a card in the next post I'm sure. I enjoyed colouring yesterdays stained glass digi and realised that this rose was only one step away from being one so that's what I've done. I think it finishes it off, here you are:

I'd like to start today by thanking everyone for the lovely comments that you have left over the last few days, they mean alot to me. There have been times where it's been quiet around here and during those times it is difficult to tell if I am on the right track or not so it really helps to give me an indication of what you like and would like to see more of :)
I have gone for a stained glass window effect with todays digi, I am quite pleased with how it turned out and no doubt I will be making a few more stained glass digis in the near future. I printed my image onto card stock and coloured with pencils and OMS but I'm tempted to see how I can make them work with acetate and vellum now ;)
clicky on the digi!

I put the names for this stamp into a hat (ok, it was a bowl) today from the comments left on Sundays blog post and from emails I received and the name that my other half pulled out was Brook! If you can email me your postal address please Brook, I will pop it in the post for you :)
Todays digi is a vase of Tulips, I coloured mine a pink-y purple but you could easily colour yours yellow for an especially springtime feel. I used Prismacolor and Derwent Pencils and Sansodor and chose another colour from my small checks paper pack as my backing paper. I threaded some wide ribbon through slots formed with the large Tonic ribbon weave punch and border system and used the Spellbinder Lattice Border behind the ribbon.
clicky on the digi :)

I had this comment left on Sunday "I love all your images but I lost my little Westie (West Highland Terrier) last year and would love if you could draw a Westie as a digital image please. Susan." How could I refuse? I haven't done a dog before and the prospect of tackling fur was a bit daunting but I hope I've managed to pull it off and that you like it Susan :)
I printed my image onto white card stock and coloured the background with ultramarine and terracota prismas, I added a little shading to the fur but left the majority as a Westie is white then coloured in the ears, eyes and nose. I framed the image using Spellbinders labels four and layered my sentiment which you can find here with spellbinders ovals, fleur de lis & In Spades pendants. The patterned paper is from my small checks paper pack pdf and finally I finished off the card with some matching 1/4 and 1/2 inch ribbons.

Todays card has been 2 days in the making and this is attempt no.4 lol, you know when you hit a creative brick wall and you just can't seem to recreate what you have in your head? After calling it quits yesterday I pulled myself out of the mess today by throwing lots of ribbon into the mix, that always does the trick ;) After looking at this stamp for 2 days now I can't see myself using it again so if you would like it leave me a comment and I'll pull a name out of a hat for it on Wednesday morning, maybe someone will have better luck than me :)
The little cupcakes are from a hero arts background stamp which I coloured with my prismas, cut out and dotted around a frame made from the long rectangle spellbinders dies. My sentiment was made from typing 'It's Cake Time' in a hollow font on my computer then printing it out and colouring with matching prismas. My backing pattern was made from several strips of 1/4 inch ribbon wrapped around a sheet of card and taped onto the back, I stuck on all of the vertical pieces first then added the horizontal ones weaving in and out of the vertical ones as I went.
