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

Fabulous work, as always, Gay. Your first card is simply devine. Both your drawing and watercolouring are beautiful. Your second card using the pan pastels and versamark ink is gorgeous, too. Such lush colours!
I saw your group photo on Val's blog and commented on how you all look fabulous! I wish I could have met you all, but it's too far for me to travel xx

Hello Gay, I've just discovered the 'Less Is More' challenge and entered this week's challenge with my first attempt at a Zentangle which I had never heard of before! Your flowers are so pretty and they look so fragile - gorgeous! Stef x

Just love the photo of all of you! Looks like fun. Your cards are so pretty. I keep saying I am going to buy some pan pastels.. They seem like they would be fun to work with..
Hugs~
This is the most beautiful card, Gay. I hate to even call those beautiful flowers doodling. They're gorgeous. Ann
Your doodled and watercolored tulips are breathtaking!
What 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
Gorgeous! your drawing and the colors!
Brilliant drawing of your flowers - a great card. You certainly look like you had a good time at Ally Pally!
Love your tulips, Gaye. How lovely to see a photo of you all, too - wonderful. Bet you all had fun x
Gay, those flowers are gorgeous. What a fabulous colour. Snowflake one is stunning too. Looks like you all had a great day - sometimes I wish I lived a bit further south! xx
Wow Gay .. .. you doodle beautifully!!
Loving the finished look of your tulips.
It looks like you had fun at Ally Pally. How lovely to meet up with all those special blog buddies.
Love Jules xx

Daen'Ys ♥
Very 'artistic' doodling Gay!
Its a lovely card and beautiful coloured flowers.
Great cards with the PPs.
Sounds like you had a great day at Ally Pally.
Avril
How I wish I could draw like that! Beautiful flowers with the fallen petal, beautifully painted too.
I 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!!
Your 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!
Hope we can meet again and have a longer chat:)

Beautifully done flowers :)

Oh, I love your soft and gently Flower card.

You drew the flowers on your LIM card??!! WOW!!! Absolutely fabulous Gay! Love your second card too. I keep seeing Pan Pastels mentioned but I'm not sure what you do with them. Will have to find some tutorials.
Glad you had a good time in London - very brave of you to drive!

Hello Gay,
The tulips are so beautiful! Great card for the Less is More-challenge this week!

Loving those tulips, so pretty
Well I am in awe, I received a beautiful tulip easter card and would have loved to recreate it but couldn't, yours is truly stunning, I love the little petal detail.
Envious of your trip to ally pally but not of your stressful trip...well done you...who needs sat nav... but wouldn't a personal chauffer be nice??!!
Diane
Brilliant work Gay - absolutely love your doodle flowers (they put mine to shame)!!
I spotted this photo on Val's blog yesterday, and I must admit - I didn't recognise you at first! Pleased to hear you all had a happy day!
Hugs, Sylvia xx

Hi Gay, The top card is stunning so simple but so effective wow. The second card is fabulous I love it.

Your LIM card is stunning! I love it.
I'm also quite jealous of your meeting up with all the lovely ladies at Alexander Palace. I "know" them all lol
Hi Mustavcoffee!!! Thanks so much for the kind words you left me on my blog - they were very much appreciated. I've been browsing your blog and am still in awe of how you make simple looking cards look SO effective. I couldn't do that if I tried - lol!! Just loved the tulips that you did on this post. Huge hugs K xx

Ok, first of all, eeek, you're so lucky to have met Vicky and Jenny! Those are two ladies I'd love to meet along with you!! Your tulips are stunning, you are a true artist, and the sponging on the second is amazing!
Congratulations on your artwork being chosen to be showcased. Well-deserved, it's very beautiful, I love it ! Shirley
Gay, I'm so stunned to be a fellow showcaser with you on the doodle LIM! My feather doesn't hold a candle to your superb tulips IMHO! Congratulations!
