Hi and a very hot and warm good morning from the UK! So, another Friday has arrived already…and with that, a new sketch from Friday Sketchers. My dear friend Claudia has created a fab sketch once again, take a peek over at Friday Sketchers to see the wonderful cards from the design team and our super prize from the Character Cafe. Thanks for the challenge Claudia!
Hey…do have your sunglasses on….haha! I know it’s a bit of a BRIGHT card, but I had to use these cool parrot papers which were a great match to the funky Magnolia parrot! I even cut the parrots feet out to make them 3d…….I did actually cut the body/head out too, but only remembered after I had coloured this image in (which I cut out too)…..so he isn’t quite as 3D as I’d planned…but he’s still a little cutie!
Quixotic Paperie had a delivery of new rubber stamps yesterday. In stock are the beautiful fairies/pixies from CC Design and also some cute stamps from Paper Pretties.
Here’s one of the sets that I ordered from Quixotic Paperie yesterday……..
Don’t you just lurrrve her? It just happened that a few of the pixies landed in my basket too whilst over there………well I just can’t resist anything cute……can you? You have to have willpower…and I haven’t got any…that’s my excuse!

Carole this is gorgeous! Between you and Claudia, I’m going to have to cave and get the Pet Collection soon.
Love your colouring, the parrot looks stunning! The felt ribbon is a perfect match for this one. 
I can’t quite pick a favourite with the CC Designs stamps. I might just have to play with them all!
Looking forward to seeing what you do with them!
I’m so sad I didn’t manage to post a card using your sketch from last week – I loved it. Will definitely still be using it though!
