Retro... Funky... Groovy!..

OooooooooTime for a card me thinks!

Over at the Kenny K's Krafy Girlz Challenge this week, the theme is LETS go RETRO!

I've not played along in many of the Kenny K's challenges, and have to admit its a shame cos all of the images are awesome. I have a fair few tucked away in a file on my pc, coloured a few, made cards with them but never blogged them as they've been tucked in envelopes and sent on their merry ways!

Well no more... I'm addicted to these girlz and boyz and you can guarantee that there is an image for what ever occasion you can be thinking of.

I've used 'All That' for this challenge, and I gave her some RETRO trousers. 

I was tired of doing full colours so played around with the black copic and a the copic fine liner and hey preseto - she's got herself some funky ZEBRA pants!

I've used Basic Grey papers from the Lime Ricky pack which are just gorgeous!

Coloured the image with Copics and added some Spica Orange to her trainers to give a little sparkle.

The edge punch is MS and the sentiment is computer generated.

 

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Kenny K's Crafty Girlz - Lets go RETRO

Close up!

Coloured with Copics. Paper - unknown, found it in my scrap box!!

Plain and simple card, still not a fan though!!

Happy Easter and Quick Update...

Quick post...

I've not dropped off the face of the earth (quite yet). My keyboard for my computer died and I've been waiting for a new one for a few days. I started to make a card at the weekend and was going to do a post on Monday but I've not managed to get the card completely finished. 

I'm hoping that over the bank holiday weekend I can get it finished properly. My camera has also been on charge for about a week, but as soon as I turn the camera on, it dies.. I think I maybe shopping for a new battery for it this weekend.

Catch you all soon, I hope you all have a fabulous Easter!!
