So ok... I was so taken with kirsty's inspirational picture for the new City Crafters Challenge "Venice, Beyond Gondola" ... (having never been to Venice I might add)... that my fingers began to play...
And before I knew it.. this little lady was born.....
There she is - all ready for the Mardi Gras....complete with bells. So it's just a bit of fun right? And I intend to hang her in my little craft room. She started life as a colouring page (face that is) but didn't have any eyes so I drew them and coloured them. I did a lot of paper piecing too but not sure if she just looks like spider woman now?? Lol!
I have actually been to Italy - fulfilled a childhood dream some years ago... I remembered watching Katherine Hepburn "Summertime" with my Mum many years ago when I was an impressionable young girl.. I fell instantly in love with Italy.....
Of course when I went 4yrs ago, it was nothing like the picture in my head... But Amalfi, Positano, Ravello and Capri all exceeded my expectations and left me breathless. Maybe one day I will see Venice..
The Play Date Cafe also have a new challenge - a "Colour Splash" challenge with the most beautiful picture......
You really need to see the gorgeous creations from the DT. I was going to enter this little lady ...Quirky though she is... But I didn't think that the music sheet would count...
So here is my entry for Play Date Cafe

So here is my entry for Play Date Cafe
See? nearly the same colours... well I used the same papers for the background- just printed my lion onto different DP. Another of Meljen's Design digital stamps... He's a cutie isn't he?
That's all for now ........
Till soon
