Huh?

I coloured a few of these images when I was last in Florida, I discovered colouring on kraft card and there was no stopping me. I showed this particular image to a lady at play day and she said I want it for my birthday card so here she is all made up for her, I hope she liked it. 

I don't have any full sheets of this paper pad left, it has been my most used ever I think and I keep finding ways of using the last little scraps, I can't imagine what it will be like to not even have little pieces left, I can't believe Im feeling sentimental about a paper pad lol. Anyway as this is made of snippets Im entering the challenge at the Snippet Playground.

Latte Sue

Almost all the ingredients for this card were already on my desk, I had made the magnum card and before I put away any of the card or paper I decided to make this one. I loved the sketch and colour scheme so I haven't deviated from it. I did fussy cut the image as she was surrounded by leaves which didn't seem fitting for a march birthday card. I even added a flower just like in the sketch. I do find the blueprints from MFT make light work of making a card but I do tend to stick to the same ones so it was good to break out one I haven't used much.

Limited Crafting Supplies

Normally when I make a card I'm surrounded by all my stuff and I can use a bit of this and a bit of that but in Florida I have only my prismas and anything I buy whilst I'm there.

I have made some really good friends during my trips and I discovered one of them was celebrating a birthday on the day I got home so I wanted to make her a card, problem is how do I do that when I don't have all my stuff. When I put this perplexing question to my hubbie he just looked at me and said you've got loads of stuff to choose from how can you possibly not have enough here to make a card, I was a bit shocked to be honest and then I looked again and thought ok prove him wrong, prove that you need the all the stuff, well I didn't succeed in that lol. What I did succeed in was enjoying creating in a way I hadn't done in years. When I first started crafting I would see a card I liked and wanted to recreate and I would look through the stuff I already had and recreate something similar with my own personal spin. Nowadays I see a card and I buy everything to make that card, I still put my own personal spin but I still have to have everything to make it. But not anymore, I so enjoyed making this card I'm going to do this more.

I decided to try colouring on Kraft card with my prismas, I must say I really enjoyed this technique, I didn't bother blending with mineral spirits instead I let the pencils do the work. I enjoyed it so much I wanted to bring my pencils home with me lol.
