You're Weird and I Love It

We're looking for spots or stripes at In The Pink Challenge this month and despite not really being a fan of either I've somehow managed to use both on my card because the pretty papers have white polka dots as well as a feint stripe on them.

Water-coloured on Langton Watercolour paper with Ranger Distress Ink Reinkers:

• Monster: Spun Sugar,  Worn Lipstick
• Eyes: Hickory Smoke, Antique Linen

Card Recipe:

• Monster Joe from A Day for Daisies
• Gerda Steiner Llama Tell You (sentiment)
• Versafine Ink Pad
• Pink spotty/stripy paper
• Pink satin ribbon

A Bite of Strawberry

I'm a guest designer at Sketch Saturday this month, and today's sketch just happens to be one of my favourites so it wasn't hard for me to enjoy this one.

I've used a cute little critter from A Day For Daisies, but I naively didn't fully consider that there's a whole lotta fur on this little guy!  I guess it allowed me some practice of colouring fur!

And I can never have too much practice!

Mind you, even the strawberry was a challenge and I can't blame that on fur (unless you're eating it with the clotted cream I bought at Christmas for the mince pies, and then promptly forgot about!)

Anyhoo, I hope you like him and please do pop over to Sketch Saturday to join in this week.

Here's the sketch I followed:
