Cup of Tea Anyone?

A second post from me today I really had to share this with you 

Did you see our lovely Nikky on Create and Craft yesterday?

If you missed the show you can catch it for a short time here, but be quick you really don't want to miss it!

The star of the show was without a doubt the new colouring book wow what an amazing idea

a colouring book you can print out - I had great fun colouring in using different mediums and making different things from the pages I shall be sharing my makes over the next few weeks

You can preview the  Colour Therapy books here

The other star of the show was Serenity I adore this character

This makes shows a teapot that I made 

I used Nikky's Teapot template from the store here
I cut the teapot onto some plain card a couple of times so its nice and sturdy,
I made a middle to join the teapot to make it into a box type - I just used a piece of plain card zigzagged it up for sticking tabs and voila

I'm a little teapot
Short and stout
Here is my handle
Here is my spout.

When I get all steamed up
Hear me shout
"Tip me over
and pour me out!'.

I then used paper from the Serenity collection 
and used the pre - coloured image of  Serenity Fairy cake
perfect for a TeaPot I thought
I finished it off with some bling.

Now a teapot wouldnt be anygood without any teabags
I used 3 different ones (you know the ones you find in your hotel rooms sssshhhh)....
Made a simple teabag cover  from more papers from the collection
Again using pre coloured images of Serenity along with Sentiments also from the collection
A couple of blingy pearls to finish
Quite a simple project but so much fun to make and I loved the end result

 I am not normally here on Team A , but I really could not resist colouring up the very sweet Chester , you can find him in the store right here, This one is Cracker Chester but there are a few Chesters to check out. I used the colour palette for my inspiration , loving the reds and golds

. I thought he looked as if he really was up to mischief so placed him swinging from the bauble . The bauble and background that I used are from Twiggy  & Toots festive fun you can find here ( I changed the background colour in Craft Artist so it matched)

How cute is my is the little image Ellie the Elf  from one of our lovely sponsors Oddball Art. I really enjoyed colouring her up . I think I will use her on a few Christmas cards this year. I coloured the background sky using 7110 and then used my blender and white marker for the snow. I then attempted some little bushes and added some little polystyrene snowballs to finish. For the sentiment I just used the empty biro method picking the lightest Red/Green

 I used the more colourful Palette as I thought it would suit my image better. The lovely image I used is Zoe and you can find her in ther store here - I must admit to not using me blender pen very much at all so when we were challenged to make a pattern with it I did so on Zoes hat just doing a simple criss cross I loved the result , I then got carried away with the blender blobbling here there and everywhere . I do belive I have found a new love in my life * My Blender Pen*
