Pro-marker challenge!

Good afternoon everyone! I cannot believe how dark it is outside and it is only 4:15! Winter is definitely coming now! Had to defrost the car for the first time yesterday too! 

I am in the very lucky position of having a week off now so can afford myself some time to craft.  Being a teacher I get no time at all really during term time, as it's all taken up with marking, planning or management admin, and unfortunately that has to be done at home. So I value the odd day in the holidays (when I'm not working that is!) that I can really chill and do what I enjoy!

I downloaded this 'Hang in there' digi stamp from Wee Stamps yesterday and it is very cute and also very versatile.  I decided to have a bit of fun and challenge myself to only use certain colours.  If you have seen my blog before you will know I have had a go with the greys before and it worked quite well!

For this I only used Cool Greys 1-5.  I'm really pleased with how it turned out.  The backing papers are all Papermania and the ribbon is from Joanna Sheen's online store, beautiful organza ribbon that comes in lots of colours. 

For the second time I decided I would only use skin tones and accents to colour, I keep changing my mind as to which is my favourite but think at the minute this one wins! Again I have used Papermania backing papers and a few odds and ends from my crafty stash.

Hope everyone is having a good Sunday and not working too hard! Crafty hugs! xxx
