its hop time...

Good morning everyone I hope your all well...its that time again...Mo's Digital Pencil Dreamteams monthly blog hop time...this month our host is the fabulous Debbie, who I must admit I swore at when I found out what the theme was lol...but I really enjoyed colouring this months Ethnic skin tones theme, I don't do ethnic skin often enough and will do it more after this

Linkyou should have arrived here from our wonderful
DEBBIE'S
blog if your following the hop, if not then hop on over there to start at the beginning, don't forget to leave a comment on everyone's blog on the hop for a chance to be one of our winners this month, you could get a $5 store credit for Mo's Digital Pencil...I chose to use the amazing Cal for my card, Mo has such wonderful ethnic images on sale and I had a hard time choosing which image to use as they are all so wonderful...as soon as I saw the face on Cal I knew it would be him, I coloured him with distress inks and teamed him up with these stunning papers from the Kaisercraft - The Lake House 6.5"x6.5" Paper Pad from Bunny Zoe's Crafts

I finished with some beautiful gingham ribbon, a wooden heart button threaded with white twine and a few buttons...the fab sketch is from Sketch N Stash challenge (its sketch no.8) and I'm also entering it for the Stampalot Challenge (green, polka dots & ribbon) and the Fussy and Fancy Friday challenge...your next stop on the hop is the fabulous
POP'S
who I'm sure is bound to amaze you with her make...while your here you can join in my Bunny Zoe's Crafts monthly candy if you would like too, the link is at the top of my sidebar...I'm off shopping today and our beautiful Daughter and her other half come back from Amsterdam this evening so its a jaunt to Belfast airport to pick them up late, I bet they are so looking forward to coming home lol...whatever your up to today have a brilliant one and don't forget your comments for a chance to win a Mo's Digital Pencil credit

    Mina, I love that patterned paper! The lilac and soft brown are beautiful together; I wouldn't have thought of using those colours on a boy/masculine card but see it in a whole new light with your fabulous card. This is why I love blog hops - I learn so much!
