Hop on Your Bike ...................................................

Good evening to you all in the land of blog

I just had to show you this gorgeous little fellow, as soon as I spotted him I knew I would enjoy creating a fabulous Easter card with it.  This image is from a selection of new images at Grimsby Crafts, the range is from Nellie Snellen and is called Hoppies, this little fellow is "Biking".  This creation has been produced for display at Grimsby Crafts.

Now starting last Sunday I saw a new fabulous easel card, a tilted version, and lots of people are seeing it and just having to have a go at it, and me, well I am no different to everyone else, so decided to give it a go also.

So here is my first tilted easel card, and I am sure it will not be my last, I have photographed this from two angles so you can see that the inside of the easel has also been adorned.

The deep yellow contrast layer is from the Core Essentials Collection and the top designer papers in the strip and the spots is from Craft Creations, both available at Grimsby Crafts and so bright and sunny, it was a pleasure to work with them.  The pearls are Kanban and from Grimsby Crafts also. The lace was a freebie sent with my Wild Orchid flower order, the flowers are from Wild Orchid, Hobby Craft and a local department store.

Here is a close up of the fabulous image

I stamped two of the images, and then cut one out and placed it over the top of the image on the image plate. I then used my Tim Holtz distress ink pads and a couple of sponges, along with some torn paper to create the sky and ground.  He is coloured in copics with a white gel highlighter.  Isn't he fabulous and a great Easter image.

I am also going to quickly add this image

this is an image coloured by my son Mike, for his valentines card for her.  I very tentatively let him use my copics and then watched him without blinking.  I showed him how to colour and then he rolled with it.  I think he did a great job don't you?

So I am entering my tilted easel into the following challenges

Copic Creations - Use Warm Colours

Creative Cottage - Fabulous Florals

Forgotten Scraps - Spring or Flowers

Stampin Royalty - Use Markers

Tuesday Taggers - Sky

Bunny Zoe Crafts - Spring Flowers Everywhere

I would like to welcome my new followers and thank those of my visitors who take the time to leave such wonderful comments, they make me smile after a hard days work :)

Enjoy the rest of your week
