Spending spree

Hello fellow groovers,
One of my best friends birthdays is just two days after mine, and we always get together on or near our birthdays to celebrate normally with a shopping spree and then a meal out.
Of course this year is the same, so I themed her birthday card with a couple of Magnolia stamps I love and have used for so many cards.
The idea for the double easel card came from a lady I met on sunday who had made the most amazing cards called Sara, I apologise I forgot to get her blog details, hopefully next time I blog.
Plus a huge thank you to Fleur for recommending Photoscape to edit photos, its brilliant the only problem I had was I spent 2 hours playing with the effects instead of blogging last night lol.
So here goes

The stamps I used are:Tilda goes Shopping
Paper:Bo Bunny Island mist double dot & Coffee journal
Martha stewart Cherish punch
Glossy Accents
Sakura Clear star gelly roll pen
For the copics:
Greens:G02, G00, G000, G0000
Browns: E44, E43, E42, E41, E40
Blue: BG0000
Skin: E02, E00, E000, E0000 and R20 for blush.
Hope you Like
Hugs

What do you think of my new car?

Hello fellow groovers,
Finally catching up and posting my latest creation.
This birthday card was made for my friend Sally, who has just got her new company car and loves it. The Edwin is the image of her fella Lee, who is a cool dude!!

The stamps I used are:Noble Tilda
I used a Martha Stewart Cherish Punch
The papers are Bo Bunny Passion Fruit Flourish
I of course had to use a little glossy accents on the windscreen and the shoes.
Not too many copics this time
Many thanks to Louise the copic Legend who recommended mixing RV10 with my favourite R85,R83,R81 to get a lighter tone to the mix it looks fab.

Summer Days

Hi Guys,
I am so sorry, I have been a little busy at work and at play and if I am honest I just knew when I turned my computer on it would take forever to get going.
My computer is ancient and basically just lately every time I turn it on I have to wait for the antivirus to finish updating and loads of updates to install it took 3 hours today!!!
But I persevered and here is one of my latest creations.

The stamps I have used are all new Molly Blooms:Paddling pool, Fab George and the Mini Happy Birthday
Magnolia Doohickey Vintage Tag
Now for the copics
Blues:B29,B24,B23, BG0000
