Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi oi oi!!!


WELCOME TO MY BLOG!! Stick around read all the deets and you could be one of my lucky commenter's to win a "HANDFUL" Price!!!! lol!! Sorry inside joke just needed to be put up here,ROTFL!
for my Little Darlings post click HERE
for Magnolia-licious blog hop click HERE

It's Australia Day in the Land Down under and what better way to celebrate than bring you some NEW Australian themed Digi Stamps and offer you some inspiration with a quick blog hop!!
What is Australia Day? Well in short, it's the day that the first fleet of convicts arrived in Sydney Australia (yup we are a bunch of convicts!! haha) but today we celebrate what's great about Australia with our family and friends and it usually involves a few snags on the barbie (BBQ)!
So let's celebrate amongst friends from around the world and share some crafting inspiration with an Aussie Outback theme!
If you're already on the hop then you should have arrived from my good mate Maria :)
 otherwise if you want to hop from the start head on over to say G'Day to AJ.


Ok on to my creation and to make story short. I left my original coloured image in my vehicle and guess what!!?? I forgot to bring it down last night.Since it was my first go, my orginal Gumnut Flower Girl took me many many lovely hours.Now this one was done like in 3 or 4hrs maybe less. If you click here you could see my original Gumnut flower girl in the MiC store.

I have coloured  with copics and this time I really did try but I couldn't keep up with the copic recipe :( It was just too many.If you ask me though I'm more than likely to know it because their my usual color combos anyways.The only thing I wouldn't be able to help you is the sky.

Now for that I was reaching for whatever came to mind when I was thinking of the Magnetic storm we got and the Aurora's that were created.You could say that's were I got my inspiration lol! I  know I know it didn't happen in Australia but just pretend :)





I did colour on Make It Crafty blending paper. My ultimate favorite because it tolerates my abuse lol! :)


see the difference from taking a picture at night versus during daylight lol!


her legs keep coming out too white. There is more colour that what it appears.

Sorry for the amount of pictures :( I just have a bad camera and  really really want a new one SIGH...


Now I guess you're looking for the next mate to hop on over to??
Well before you do... Make sure you comment below for your chance to win an Australian Souvenir. Each of us will be selecting someone from our comments to receive a little Aussie Souvenir from Zoe!

  8. Wow!!!! This is stunning! Do you know the thought that came to my mind?? "Taste The Rainbow" ... was that a slogan for those lollies that I used to love as a kid called Skittles?? I think it was ... not Australian ... but oh well.
    This card is as bright and sweet as those little lollies were.
    So beautiful ... I'm going back for another look .... WOW!
