Good morning everyone and welcome to the weekend!
We have a beautiful sketch this week at Basic Grey created by the wonderful Chris. I had great fun working with this one and by the look of the DT cards I think everyone else did too. What a wonderful collection of cards for you to feast your eyes upon.
I chose a sweet Penny Black image for my card which I received in a birthday RAK from the very same Chris. I am continuing to practice with my Copics and was pleased with the shading on the flowerpot, but I know I still have some way to go.
I've used Lime Rickey papers this week. Have you seen them yet? You sure need your sunglasses for this collection, lol! Zingy is a word that springs to mind!!
We're all going to choose the first tropical fish today for Chris's new aquarium (I bought it for his fortieth last weekend). I'm thinking a Dory or Nemo would look cool. When the aquarium is filled with fishies I'll take some piccies and upload them so you can take a peek. Might even have a naming competition, lol!
Materials:
Image - Penny Black
Sentiment - Studio G
Ladybird - Magnolia
Papers - Basic Grey Lime Rickey
Colouring - Copics
Flowers - Prima
Die - Sizzix Leaves
Embellishments - Brads and Raffia Ribbon from my stash
Accents - White Gel Pen for faux stitching
Have a great weekend and thanks so much for stopping by!

Gorgeous card Tara. Love the image and the beautiful colouring. Hope you have a lovely weekend. Hugs Michele x
Being a rabbit lover, this card is just my scene....and yet another way to use my favourite leaves! The colours are great and I love your stitching, Ruth x
How funny that we used such similar colours this week - spooky ! Such a fantastic card, I love the PB image you have used and your colouring is fantastic.
Have a great weekend and see ya tomorra !
You will need to save your pennies for a Nemo or Dory - they were about £80 a piece in our garden centre and they need to live in salt water - one of the most complicated fish to keep apparently ! Perhaps a goldfish will suffice !!!!
I can imagine you all sitting around it staring into the tank - I bet you will have a laugh when you realise what you are doing !!!

Very pretty card. I love your idea to use the border leaves how wonderful. It feels so springy and fresh, just what I need.
It's perfect.
