Just Magnolia Sketch and Play Along Monday Challenge...


Afternoon Ladies and I hope you are enjoying the weekend weather.
Saturday is a stay at home and clean up...tidy up ...watch films...make cards kind of day for me. So I have done my chores and I'm just waiting for a friend to pop in for a cuppa and a chat. Just finished my 'Just Magnolia Sketch' and I really went all out Autumn on this one...also while blog hopping found a new Challenge blog called 'Play along Monday' run by Karen Wilson and the challenge this week has been 'Leaves'

I used all my earth tone Promarkers to colour this Tilda in and did some shading with a soft grey blendable pencil.

I found this little silver Acorn charm in a button box and I bought it when I was at Art College from John Lewis in Reading. Many years ago......

Another close up....

I don't yet own a Martha Stewart punch so I used my deckle edge scissors which I haven't used for ages but really love the effect...
So I hope you like all my photos and have a nice evening...I shall be watching part two of Strictly and X Factor...Bye for now

    Was gonna have a day about the house today too, but the weather was so awful we took the girls to Inverness to the cinema to see Aliens in the Attic, quite funny, girls loved it.
