Mouse with rose!

Hello to all.  Sharing a gift tag featuring the sweet Mouse with rose image from Lee H Illustrations!

The image is coloured with a mix of Copic markers and Polychromos pencil.  Tag shaped cutting dies, embossed paper and flower buttons complete the tag!

I have been MIA on blogger recently as we are working in the garden.  Several construction and layout projects are underway.  Thought you might like to see some of the progress on a lovely summery day!

My first attempt at creating a standard tree!

Capturing the peony before it drops!  The roses have started, so many buds this year.  I think its the earlier rain. 
When they are in full bloom will take some more pictures to share!

Happy crafting fun to all!

Lovely Lillies!

Hello to all.  I spent a lovely relaxing afternoon yesterday colouring this sweet image from Coloriage Wild.  I really enjoy colouring these pages.  The paper is the most amazing quality!   I have coloured the image and flowers with FC Prismacolour pencils.

The image has been placed on a blue mat background to make a CAS project to showcase the image.

A closer look at this sweet image. She really is a beauty!
