GDT FOR PAPER CREATIONS INK - LIL OL GRUMPY

Hi everyone,

I was delighted to be asked to be Guest Designer today over at the Paper Creations Ink Challenge but oh how you will laugh.  Anyone knowing me will know I love making girly cards, frilly fancy etc is just up my street and how I love pink!  Well imagine my face when I saw this image that I was to use for today's spot!  Well, hey you be kind about this Lil Ol Grumpy image, he has feelings you know, lol and he does grow on you!  ( I think! lol)  To be honest he totally transforms once coloured.   Well I can tell you he has certainly raised a smile in this house.  When I saw the theme was Love and Romance, I just thought 'easy peasy - just my cup of tea but then when I saw Lil Ol Grumpy ( available here ) well I was way out of my comfort zone!  But hey I like a challenge and I did say I wanted to try new things in the New Year (famous last words! lol).  Anyhow now I am really quite pleased with the end result.

So, what have I used?  Well basically everything came from my stash using a mixture of die-cuts, punchies, cheesecloth and of course I have coloured this little fella with Copics and Promarkers and added lashings of glitter.  Because it is suitable for Valentines Day I thought it could take it.  Strange how things turn out, I started off with the intention of making a grungey card, but things sort of changed along the way and this is the finished result.  I just could not resist adding the sentiment 'Sending you a Smile'.  How apt is this!



I wonder what you honestly think? I will be putting it on EBay but don't all rush at once! Haha! (link on my sidebar).

Thanks for looking and I hope I have made you smile today, do pop over to the Challenge it is a lovely theme and a great challenge! and also pop over to Smeared Ink too as there are lots of other digis to be had.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Cardmaking Mamas Challenge - Something new (digi)
Hooked on Crafts Challenge - Try Something new 
Chocolate Coffee and Cards - Glitter latte!
