New beginnings challenge card

This month on the cute as a button halls he blog the theme is new beginnings. I chose to do the wedding couple as we are hoping to get married next year! 
First before I get over excited and go into wedding plans, here's how I did my card first off I printed off the wedding couple then I got out my spectrum noir pencils I used 1,4,8,9 for the skin. For his hair I used 112,114,116,118 and 120. The other half dos point out I did their hair the same as ours and was I trying to be romantic. I used some irreidesent glutter on the top of the dress. I coloured the dowse and tie in the same purple. I'm not  going with purple for our colour scheme. 
Next I went through my stash and I used some pink and grey papers from it. I fussy cut the bride and groom and the birds from one of my papers in my stash. I then cut the sentiment out the comes with the digi stamp and I mounted that and the birds on grey paper. To finish it off I added some pale pink and grey card candy.
I hope you like the card and I will deffinately be featuring some of my favourite pastel shades when we tie the knot.

Cute as a button New Release Day

For this month I picked the digi stamp with I love Stamps on it.(of course) 
I decided that I was in need of a treat for me a new Desk calender for the new Year and my new workspace.
Here's what I did and how.
First off I printed out the digi and then got out my Spectrum noir pencils, I love these. I can see such a big improvement in my colouring. I used 1,4,5,9 for the skin 102,104 and 113 for her hair I then used several blues shading to do her a denim skirt. I then fussy cut her out and got several sheets of green backing paper from my stash. 
I then cut out several different circle sentiments I played around arranging them on the bottom and top.
I then used the same papers to mount my calender pad and I chose to make this into an easel one. I love this new Digi and there are several other beautiful ones to choose from this month.
