Here is my doodling card for LIM 63, this week Chrissie and Mandi asked us for a one layer card with some doodling on it
One of the busy days I had was a brilliant trip to Alexandra Palace on Sunday, Chrissie LIM and I drove up together and we met some wonderful Limmettes for lunch
from the left, bottom row Valerie, Vicky and Jenny
top row from left , me next to Chrissie
Sylvie, (Gibmiss) was there too but had disappeared by the time Chrissie grabbed a poor unsuspecting gent and persauded him to do the honours with her camera!!
I was just a little tense as my silly Sat nav had played up on the journey in to London and I was expecting it to do the same on the way home and I wasn't wrong it went wild and reset itself when we were in the middle of central London LOL Oh I can laugh now but I was Stressed with a capital S. It became an awfully long journey home.
But the show was fun and I bought some Pan Pastels, super colours! Today I've had a bit of play time. This background is with versamark ink with the Pan Pastels underneath and over the top using two new stamps, Impression Obsession. One is Cover a card Snowflakes and the other a leaf spray.
I've used my little Brother Labelling machine, love all the different lettering it does.
Have fun, hugs Gay xxx
Just love your doodle card Gay...how nice to meet other blogging buddies....like what you had done also with your pan pastels

This is the most beautiful card, Gay. I hate to even call those beautiful flowers doodling. They're gorgeous. Ann
ReplyDeleteYour doodled and watercolored tulips are breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card your LiM one is Gay! You've given your flowers a lovely delicate quality and the fallen petal is a lovely touch. The other card is lovely too and a great example of what you were explaining to me! It was lovely to meet you and the others on Sunday but so sorry to hear you returned via the scenic route! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! your drawing and the colors!

Very 'artistic' doodling Gay!
ReplyDeleteIts a lovely card and beautiful coloured flowers.
Great cards with the PPs.

How I wish I could draw like that! Beautiful flowers with the fallen petal, beautifully painted too.
ReplyDeleteI am so envious of you all getting to meet up! How much fun!!! LOVE your "doodled" flowers...but I'd say it's more like art!!! Fabulous coloring too!...I think perhaps you'll be shoCASed again!!
ReplyDeleteYour Lim card is wonderful Gay they look as if they are blowing in the wind and the colour is gorgeous! I would buy this if it were a stamp! I'm loving the pan pastels, I saw them being demo'd and the colours are so rich. Love what you've done with them. I had a fabulous day meeting up with you all and I'm sorry you were so stressed with the silly sat nav!I loved my gift. so thoughtful of you:) if you have a smart phone you can use google maps in the same way as a sat nav and the info it gives you regarding any hold ups is totally spot on. Try it out on the computer, go to the top right and select traffic and it's brilliant!
ReplyDeleteHope we can meet again and have a longer chat:)
Val x
Beautifully done flowers :)
ReplyDeleteLove your doodled card Gay - my efforts have all been filed in the bin so far! How lovely to meet some bloggies buddies, Jo x
