Sassy's and sketches x2

Its a glorious day here, and the gardening has been done, and the washing brought in, so a little crafting was in order before the ironing is tackled!!

I coloured these images last night ... so just needed to put them on a card.

 As some of you may know ... I LOVE my Sugar Nellies and especially the Sassys ... even bought set 6, just waiting for my postie LOL!!  I coloured Artistic Godess in using my promarkers.  I decided to go for a mainly monochrome card, with just a bit of colour ... her hair is rather colourful LOL!!!  I embossed the panels of white cardstock using a couple of embossing folders.  The black flower was a white one that I coloured in using my black promarker, and layered it up using flowers from my stash, finally adding an organza bow.  I followed the sketch over at the Simply Sassy blog, and am entering this into their GDT.  They have also got a blog hop runnig until Tuesday, I'll be hopping in a bit.

I love Romantic Dreamer, love her look, and that skirt! again she is coloured in using my promarkers, and i have been having another play with different colours.  The dp is Basic Grey Wisteria, and I followed the sketch over at I Love Promarkers.  I added some flat backed pearls nad black ribbon to finish it off.  I added some black faux stitching, which is this week's Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge theme.

Very impressive with the monochrome look on both of these. Love the hair on both too & especially the predominance of white on the first.

These are stunning Cathy, I love the Sassy images but have promised myself no more images until the dozens I have unused have all been inked up!!
They are both so adorable and coloured fantastically.

Great cards Cathy, you have such good taste in rubber ;)
Good to see you finding time to get some colouring done, our kids went back today and its high time schools took less time off!
I cant get anything done with them about, hope yours are better trained.
take care
