Morning my blogging buddies, me again!!
I have a jolly creation to share today. It's been a while since I used a Stampfairy image so thought I would rectify that by using Molly Balloons who has been sat on my desktop waiting for some time now!!
She was coloured with Spectrum Noir pencils, I couldn't resist finding out what all the fuss was about so bought myself the essentials set. I like them and shall continue to acquaint myself with an entirely different colouring medium. Papers, incidentally, are Pebbles - Sunny side.
Since Christmas I have been trying to teach myself to crochet, I have mastered phone covers, boxes and blankets but for the life of me couldn't "get" flowers. I think I have unpicked a shipload over the course of a week. Anyhow I finally happened upon Happy Berry Crochet and spent a while following a stitch by stitch video tutorial on You Tube and I have finally cracked it...see...top left corner!! So if you are struggling with crochet or want to teach yourself go have a peep at her website...it's brill!!
Waffling over I was inspired by these challenges

Sweet image Sarah and so glad you are giving the Spectrum Noir pencils a try. I find it so hard to create without them. They bring such vibrancy to an image. Love the crochet flower detail. Enjoy your day.

Hey Sarah, this is a gorgeous card, love the colouring with the pencils to match your papers and the little crochet flower is just perfect. I may take a look at the linky for the flowers myself! Fern x
This is gorgeous Sarah. I love the sweet image, fabulous colouring and pretty papers.
Your crochet flower looks brilliant. I used to do lots of crochet but don't seem to get enough time now which is a shame as I do enjoy it.

Sarah this is a fab creation, you have definitely cracked the crochet, it's super.
I was wondering if I should try the pencils but so far have resisted.
How nice to go riding in nice weather for a change!

Great colouring but it's the crochet flower that I'm more impressed with. I too can't crochet but wanted to learn how to do flowers. Asked all the old dears at the bowling club if anyone could teach me, but no offers. Will defo check not that link and fingers crossed...Jx
Aww, what a cute girl you have in your card.
Lovely creation.
Thank you for sharing with us at Sketch N Stash- challenge.
