Annette

My favourite animals are cats, and I have 2 feline furbabies 
from the rescue centre, called Arnie and Pickle.I've always liked cats, and I've had a long running love of tigers in particular, 
but I'll keep to the more domesticated variety to snuggle at home!
This image was perfect to use to represent my two furbabies!

Samantha
Well I have 2 favourite animals so I decided to show you both
I LOVE rabbits and have some real ones of my own, this is Honey


but these are little wooden ones are laser cut blanks and I have painted them.

I also love mice as they are so cheeky, just look at this one on my bird feeder


and here my card with a cute Housemouse

Mojca

Well my favourite animals are definitely cats. They have such great characters :) It's now 2 years since my beloved pet Cuf has passed away .. I sure miss him ... hoping on getting another cat someday ...

Sarah

It is well known among my crafty friends that horses and dogs are right at the top of the list of animals that I love. However, a little known fact is that I actually have a large, welsh dresser sized, collection of pigs...teapots, vases, oven gloves, you name it I probably have it!! I have no idea where this porcine passion came from as we have never farmed them, indeed some horses tend to be terrified of them, so can only claim some weird fascination with Pink and Perky as a little one!!

So now it's over to you.
We hope you will join in our challenge, show us your style and

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Good luck, and happy crafting.

Favourite Colouring Medium (and WHY)

Thank you to everyone who entered our texture challenge. 

Our winner is:

#2 Macarena
I'm afraid that I can't show you just one picture of Macarena's project, because one picture would not do it sufficient justice. 
So I'm going to indulge you with a few pictures, 
so you can behold the beauty and FABULOUS texture of her project:


I particularly love the script text on the side:

I always adore looking at Lucy's work and this one is another stunner.



Nellie
Nellie's card was just so pretty, 
I loved all the flowers and the gorgeous colouring.



Kat W
What can I say ... pink, cute image beautifully coloured, stitching, 
gorgeous flowers and a spot of lace.
All my favourite things in one card. 
ps my b'day is in Oct, Kat!!  ;0)



Alycia Clark
This was so simple but just so elegant. 
I really love this and might have to seek out the die.
The butterflies look like they're all about to take flight straight off the card.

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
your Favourite Colouring Medium (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

My favourite colouring mediums are Distress Inks 
(I use the reinkers and a paint brush).  
Some of my favourite designers use them, and I aspire to be a fraction as good as they are,  so I have to keep practising!  
It's been my new year's resolution 2 years running to use the DIs more, 
instead of reaching for the copics (which I also love!).  
So here we go, watercolour painting with DI reinkers.

Samantha
Oh, it's so difficult to chose!
I LOVE all sorts of mediums for colouring but I love Spectrum Noir pens for colouring images.  The way they blend is great, and they are so quick and easy to use too...

Mojca

My favourite colouring Medium are Copics ... 
They are so easy to use and I just love the variety of colours on offer.

Sarah

Promarkers for me...every time...no question!! I have been bold, in the past, and tried other alcohol markers but for blendability and precision, above all else, Promarkers are my most favourite colouring medium in the whole, wide, world!!

Suzette

My favourite  Medium is Copics.....I love vibrant colours on an image and that is what 
copics do. It makes your images pop!

So now it's over to you.
We hope you will join in our challenge, show us your style and 
showcase your Favourite Colouring Medium (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Good luck, and happy crafting.
