Unusually, I have two cards to share today...
The first one is a sweet Lilli of the Valley Fairy that I coloured with Promarkers. I added lots of Stickles and Diamond Glaze, but neither is showing up that well on this picture. I brushed a little gold Veracolour over those lovely Cuttlebugged swirls, but again while it looks lovely in real life it hasn't photographed well.
I just love colouring these images as they are so easy and you can get great effects with very little effort. This is all down to how beautifully they are drawn by those very talented LOTV artists and owes nothing to my colouring skills!
Now just to prove that I am not completely addicted to LOTV, my second card features a Popcorn the Bear image that I stamped on a visit to my friend Vicky a few weeks ago. 
While on the subject of the lovely Vicky, please drop by her blog to see the fabulous card that she posted yesterday as her DT card for the Crafty Cardmakers Challenge. It's a stunner, and one which just took my breath away when I saw it!

I made this second card for a friend who is retiring tomorrow. She collects and makes bears, so hopefully she will appreciate little Popcorn, his blanket, and his sparkly daisy. 
My mojo was lacking 'oomph' this morning so I decided to use this inspirational little sketch from Sketch Saturday to help things along... thank you so much girls, it did the job nicely!

Really lovely cards Jo!! Two is always a plus to see! ;) I'm really liking the texture of that cuttlebug swirl! Very pretty!
Great cards Jo - the circlecard is so effectful with that green cuttlebuged background! Fantastic colors, too!
I'm very partial to circle cards and yours is lovely!!!
Fab job Jo...I just adore what you did with the fairy, she's coloured beautifully...and I really love the papers on the other card, can't see properly, did you distress the edges?
Fab job chick!!!
Thank's for the mention too. not sure if I can keep it up though, this is my worry now, are people going to expect more like that...I hope not, cards I make like that only come once in a blue moon...
I have been having a go at painting with distress inks...I definitely need more practice though.
Hope you ok and not working too hard...
