Another Gorjuss Girl.....

I must admit I really love these images even though they've got no mouths...lol.This is number 3 for me and I bought the gorgeous new Blueberry Hill Papers from Papermania which are beautiful so decided to use them.I also decided to use some vellum which I've had for ages and never knew what to do with.
I'm off to crack on with a scrapbook page for my class on Monday night.I want to get it done so I can enjoy the holiday weekend without rushing at the last minute (like usual...lol)

Copic Colour Challenge #10

Well I decided to enter the Copic Colour Challenge again as I need to practise more with my Copics.I really struggled with the colours as what image to use and the Prussian Blue (B39) was very dark.I think I managed to sneak a little bit down the side of the vase.The card is quite CAS for me as I like to add lots of embellishments but thought it suited the image to keep it simple.The stamp was a bit of a pain too as it's not very detailed with the flowers so you've got to add the flower definition yourself.It probably lends itself better to being watercoloured.These are the colours we had to use.

This is my card

Gorjuss Girl And Copics

Here's my first Gorjuss Girl.I held off buying them because I've got a thing about no mouths (like Magnolias) but I made an exception with these as they've kind of grown on me (unlike Tildas!...lol)
I've got to thank the fabulous Rach for her Copic tutorial on her blog,which you can find HERE. She made the tutorial so easy to follow and look so easy,even though it's not.I learned more from her tutorial in a few hours than I did in a few weeks reading others. I'm happier with the colouring of this although I still need loads of practise.

I took Louis through to Edinburgh on the 'big' train yesterday and we popped up to the castle for a bit and then had a wee walk down the Royal Mile.It was absolutely FREEZING and we were lucky if we heard another Scottish/British accent.It was heaving with tourists.My camera wasn't working very well (I think the batteries were too cold...lol) so only got a few pics.Here's one of Louis anyway (posing as usual).
