Mandarin Mandalin


 Another month, another swap card. This months theme is Medallions, and I've used one I designed myself a couple of years ago. After all the fun of designing, I never actually got round to using it and it's (and a few others with it) been sitting on the back burner of my 'puter ever since. If by chance you like it you can snag it from the bottom of this post....bearing in mind it's hand drawn, and therefore in the 'naive' style.  If a few are interested I'll put the others on another time.

Using my favourite craft item, which is beyond measure, printable papers....so versatile, so available, so many freebies.......so sue me lol. My new favourite is promarkers, can't colour without them now. This is a new paper collection I've just bought from Stitchy Bears - Citrus. the colours aren't showing true of course, I can never get a proper image can I!! I know it look like I've used two different orange cards, but they are the same.  I've gone for really bright colours again as an antidote to the dull, dull, foggy and dull days we've been having here. 

My Receipe...
DP papers - Stitchy Bear
mini gems - Craft Creations
Stickers - Imag-e-nations
Ribbon & button - stash
Bright card - Tesco
Colourants - Promarkers
Canary, lime green, Red, peach
