Poor Poppy has not been so well this weekend.
Think she had eaten something she shouldn't have done!
She was sick a few times but still wanted to eat.....
But when she did eat she was sick.....
So poor Pops has been on no food,
then just rice and then rice & chicken
for a day or so while till her tummy settled down.
She was not happy about this at all!!
She did however play very energetically
with Brodie yesterday!
Brodie's mum loved her framed photo!
And Shirleyanne is also doing Weight watchers
so she didn't get an Easter Egg either....
we gave her a jar of our home made
pickled onions that she loves!!!
not your usual Easter gifts but hey hoe!
Got a couple of cards done,
but missed the deadlines.
This one was from
Just Christmas & Birthday cards
by my lovely friend Mada....
I am cross at myself for not getting it emailed on time
but they do have a new sketch out today!!
It being entered in Colour Create who want
Chocolate , Coffee & Cream.
they gave added option of distressing,
but I forgot!!! LOL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I loved the colour combo so much
I did this card using similar shades.
I tried using distressing inks and H20's
to add colour after stamping it up
with brown versa fine.
I would love to be able to do it
as a black lab puppy like Poppy.
But have no success in colouring in black at all.
Any tips ??

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This last one is from sketch & stash challenge
from last week, I loved it and will use it again.
Too late with this one as well.
But it will be getting popped in the post
to someone special soon.
Cute Card Thursday want
Marshmallows and Chocolate
or pink and brown on cards this week.
This beautiful image was sent to me by Vanessa.
Thanks you my lovely !
Can anyone tell me.....
if you are not part of the Magnolia Club,
can you still buy these spring ones anywhere?
Hope you are all well.
Am off to be, early start for me,
and a 5.30 am alarm for Andrew.....

Gorgeous cards Tina! Sorry can't help with the Magnolia question. I too struggle to colour black. Think it requires lots of practice and patience! Sorry to hear Poppy dog has been feeling poorly ~ Hope she feels better soon. x

Poor Poppy, hope she is better soon! Fabulous cards, you have had a busy weekend!
I am sure you can usually buy the kit stamps a little after the kits come out so they should be released individually soon!
Many thanks for joining in the CCT challenge! Have a great day, Debx
oooh poor poppy :(
if you were going to use coloured pencils to make black I would use some dark reds,greens and blues. but not sure that would work with other mediums.
Hi hun, sounds like Poppy has been in the wars, poor thing :(
Tips for colouring in black....
there is no such thing as black really, if you look you will see that there is nearly always a sheen. I often use white, lilac or light blue. But, this could be quite difficult with pens...
With coloured pencils you can obtain lighter and darker shades of black too depending on how hard you press. So I would press really hard only for the inner eye iris as a rule...
Lots of love and hugs XX
gorgeous cards tina ~ you have been busy ~ i`m sure these butterfly stamps will be in the shops very soon!!
so hope poppy is feeling better very soon
vanessa xx
I love your cards!

Beautiful cards Tina. You've used some great images and you papers & details are gorgeous.
Thanks for joining the Colour Create Challenge.

Just a thought - To make your puppy black - why not stamp the image onto black paper with clear embossing ink and then emboss with deep grey or even silver embossing powder then cut him out and mount on lighter card?
Fab cards - great use of the colours and your layout is great and gorgeous images.
Thanks for joining us at CC.
hugs Heather xx
Fantastic cards, and I love your puppy in the CC colours, just gorgeous! Re colouring for black, I think it looks more realistic if you build up the colour with lots of tones of grey from light to darkest and a bit of blue also helps, it doesn't look flat then as it would if using a black pen/marker. Sorry your Poppy has been ill and hope she;s better now. Thanks for joining us at CC this week. Chris x
poor Poppy dog! Glad to hear she's feeling better now though.... mmm.. love the stamp you got from Nessy - that card's scrummy! Love the little doggy card too!
