Glitter N Sparkle Challenge Blog Week # 172 Inspired by Songs

Good Morning and welcome to this week's Glitter n Sparkle Challenge Blog

This Week's theme is

Creations inspired by songs.

What a fun challenge and we all had great fun choosing our images for this week.

Now I got Bugaboo Images to choose from and I decided on the Song 

' Working 9-5' by the legend that is Dolly Parton

Here is the card I have created with this theme

The image is called Frame it - Escape Key and I have teamed it up with work like backing papers and added wooden clocks to represent how we all sit there waiting for end of the day to come around. I have finished the card with ribbon from Meiflower crafts and a sentiment from Lili of the Valley.

Here is a close up of the image which I have coloured using Letraset Promarkers.

Colours used are:

Primrose, Pastel Yellow & Mustard for the Hair

Blush, Saffron & Pastel Pink for Skin

Wild Cranberry - Glasses

Cobalt blue - Clock

Ice Grey 2, warm Grey 3 & Coo Grey 5 - PC

Ice Grey 1 & Pastel Beige - Filling Cabinet

Pink Carnation & Wild Cranberry - Mug

Now I also helped cover one of our team as Chris was unable to do this weeks challenge.

So here is my second card

Now this one was already picked but I have chosen the song:

'With a little help from my friends' By the amazing Beatles

I have kept this quite simple and used the purple colours as a focal point.

Finished with wooden letters to spell out 'Bestie'

Here is a close up of the image I have coloured

Please also note I have also found out that all my Blog comments on everyone's blogs are not posting so all the comments for DT's etc have not worked :( I'm so sorry, I have been liking so many and commenting and for some reason nothings is publishing, I am trying to work on it but we are drawing a blank and asking other bloggers for help. If you have any ideas do let me know so we can try them.

Wishing you a great weekend
