May the 4th be with you!

Today's my day for another M4M post so I thought I'd share with you something I was working on when I did my Certification and a sneak peak for the new challenge starting on Monday....

I haven't coloured many La-La Land images but I really enjoyed colouring this one at Certification and so I'm looking forward to the Sydney project class June 16th which Irina is teaching (you can find more details here):

Clothes G21/G24/Y28, Boots E33/35/37/47,
Hair E31/33/35, Skin E50/E51/RV10/RV13, B00

And for Monday's sneak peak:

Can you guess what the challenge will be?

April but not showers!

>> Thursday, May 3, 2012

Hello there everyone!
Today i am going to share with you a card i created for ...well not really this challenge but as we are now in may we have a kind of free week..plus i have run out of wet images to colour!

I have used for this card a some odd girl digital image but if you go to Mad for markers they have a MASSIVE range of Some odd girl stamps to purchase.

I just love this image! plus to top it off and get a great background i used my new fiskars interchangeable border punch. it is meant for ribbon but i thought it made a great lattice background. you can check out how to do this here.
And here are the copics i used!

The challenge is almost finished now so if you do not get a chance to enter ,never fear next week we will have a new challenge for may!

happy colouring
Tara:)
