Felicity Hump's day out

Felicity Hump at the Vicars Luncheon

by Rick St. Dennis

I would like you to meet this wonderful lady... her name is Felicity Hump and she has been invited to the vicars luncheon. I think she is cheeky and a bit loud (like me) she sometimes barks when she laughs, has no time for expensive make-up or diets. Would be a very loyal friend and would share her last cupcake with you. I would love to have this lady as a friend, I think she is brilliant!
As always neenah/promarkers/mcs.

Three Chimney Cottage in Springtime

I really love this digital image by Rick St. Dennis. It is called Three Chimney Cottage and can be found here on Rick's Zibbet site.. I have combined this image several times behind other images and I think it works beautifully just on its own. Printed onto neenah, coloured with promarkers, clouds made with chalks. The frame and sentiment made in mcs.

The last few days have been so Springlike it really lifts the soul. I have been spending a lot of time in the garden...sometimes I even do a bit of weeding or just sit on the garden swing with Colin. We saw the buzzards again, we really should take our binoculars with us as it is so quiet in our garden except for birdsong and the odd noisy pheasant, we do get quiet a lot of wildlife around here.. A few winters ago I was in the garden the same time as a little deer. Magical.

Gardening in my nightie

This beautiful little girl is called Walker drawn by Mo you can find her here at mo's digital pencil. The path is called  Cobblestone Path you can find it here at make it crafty.

Printed onto neenah, coloured with promarkers. Clouds made with chalks. Cardstock is by Hunkydory. The frame, flowers and sentiment made in My Craft Studio.

It was such a beautiful day today. There is so much warmth from the sun and only a little breeze. Colin and I have been out in the garden, I've been weeding and Colin has been cutting back a couple of shrubs. I think he is getting stronger but we still have to be careful with him... his back looks like a shark bite but is healing. The heading to this post... I am fed up when I garden and my t-shirt rides up. My nighties are the t-shirt type nearly down to my knees, in other words not flimsy. So who can tell me what is a nightie and what is a t-shirt. So, I was sitting on an old rug (with an old hat pulled down over my glasses) weeding (now and then) watching the birds and just feeling warm. That is lovely after the awful weather we have had.

Star Fairy

The Star Fairy by Rick can be found here at Rick's Zibbet site. I positioned her on the beautiful background called Hidden Forest Seat by make it crafty which you can find here. Printed onto neenah coloured with promarkers and pencils with glitter on the wings and dress. The sky is quite pale...ethereal coloured with chalks. The cardstock is Hunkydory, the frame and sentiment made in my craft studio.
I hope you're keeping warm, it's been quite mild here.. in fact mild enough to get out into the garden. I have been weeding around the primroses and forget-me-nots, the daffs and snowdrops are in bloom. I remember last Summer when Colin was in the garden with Jasmine. They were playing I-Spy and it was Jasmine's turn. With the little ones they play I-Spy a colour...  and she said 'Something yellow' Well poor Grandad was trying for ages but couldn't guess. Jasmine said "The yellow in the middle of the forget-me-nots"

Not our garden but you can see how tiny these flowers are

Glinda

This is Glinda the Good witch hand drawn by Rick St. Dennis. You can find her here on Rick's Zibbet site. Printed onto neenah, coloured with promarkers. Double frame made with my cricut script and background colour changed in my craft studio. Glinda certainly is an absolute delight to colour. I hope to be able to wean myself off shades of purple before my pens run out....but maybe this isn't a good time to go cold turkey! I will try again another day... maybe I can try more pinks, maybe purple and pink... these things cannot be rushed.
It's quite a mild day today so I'm going to do some gardening, betcha can't guess the main colour in our garden. The crocus's are in bloom as are the primroses and primulas, we have a weeping cherry tree and for some reason tiny new primulas grow quite happily underneath it.

Smeared and Smudged Valentine hop day 3

You said you wanted something from Red or Dead.... well I got you both! The third and last day of the Smeared and Smudged Valentine hop. It has been amazing and very, very interesting... really some talent out there. As always Neenah/Promarkers/HunkyDory/ MCS. The main image is Midnight Watch by Rick and you can find this image here on Rick St. Dennis's Zibbet site.
There is still one more creepy Valentine offering to come tomorrow with the Demon Lover Guest DT over at Left of Center ..... Mwahaha.....

Smeared and Smudged Valentine hop Day 2

Pages from my spellbook. As you can see, this is an ancient potion so, as is written, beware of what you wish for.. Mama Mumba can be found at Rick's Zibbet site here 
I made the book in mcs, typing out the potion. Mama Mumba has been coloured with promarkers. One more day at the hop and as always I am picking up so many ideas and techniques that I can't wait to try.

Smeared and Smudged Valentine hop Day 1

I have some wonderful news... my husband came out of hospital last night. We expected that he would have to stay for two weeks after the operation to remove the tumour but the op was a huge success and he did as he was told with drinking enough and getting out of bed as soon as he could and walking round the wards (trailing all the tubes and wotnot) so yesterday when I went to visit him I brought him home. I must say... he is not a very good passenger!

The first day of the Smeared and Smudged Valentine hop. The hop list is on my sidebar, there will be some unusual projects there...not for those of a nervous disposition! The lady is a digital image by Rick St. Dennis called Esmeralda The Fortune Teller and can be found here,  printed onto neenah, coloured with promarkers and fussycut. The potion is a well known one from the internet. The scroll and background was made in mcs.

Garden Sprite Snickers and completed project

This is my last little Sprite to show you. This one is called Garden Sprite Snickers and you can find her here on Rick St. Dennis's Zibbet site. I adore this collection, they are so easy to colour, I'm sure the more talented 'colourists' amongst you would be able to shade many more colours onto these designs but I am very pleased with this whole project. They are printed onto neenah paper, coloured with promarkers, the double frames are made with my cricut and the frame came from The Range priced at about £4.00

Garden Sprite Large

I think perhaps this is my favourite of Rick's sprites. You can find her here in his Zibbet store. I love all the detail in this image, so easy to colour. Printed onto neenah, coloured with promarkers, double frame with my cricut. Wonky photo as before.

And here for the gents... Fillies Bergeres

This stunning image by Rick is called Fillies Bergeres and you can find her here.  I haven't coloured any showgirls before so I hope I've done her justice. Printed onto neenah, coloured with promarkers. Double frame made with my cricut with of course that lovely new cartridge which just makes frames.

Garden Sprite Giggles

This is the second of the framed garden sprites. Rick's Garden Sprite Giggles can be found here on Rick's Zibbet store. I have just noticed that the photo is a bit wonky (a crafting technical term) but the finished project of four framed garden sprites is looking good. I've hung the framed sprites in the back hall which leads out into my garden. A bit of a twee idea but hey ho.

Garden Sprite Chortles

This gorgeous image is one of Rick's garden sprites. This one is called Garden Sprite Chortles and you can find her here on Rick's Zibbet site. I loved colouring her and just knew I would be framing this series. There is so much detail in this image I really lost myself with my promarkers on lovely smooth neenah. I made a double frame with my cricut and fussy cut her boots and hat as I wanted the images to all be the same size and for them all to have the double frame.

My husband is going into hospital on Thursday for a couple of weeks to have the rest of the tumour removed from his lung. As you can imagine things are a bit tense here and I think I will be visiting as many blogs as I can just so I have someone to 'chat to'.

Enchanted Love

This cute image is called Enchanted Love and is available at www.thepapershelter.com printed onto neenah, coloured with promarkers. You can find the beautiful pebblestone path image here at Make it Crafty. The papers, script, frame and flowers are all made in mcs.
