Newton's Birthday Trio

Good morning and welcome to my blog post for today. I'm sharing the adorable Newton's Nook Birthday Trio card which I have coloured up for the Inky Paws Challenge #104 to use brown, orange, yellow and teal. I actually found this harder than I thought, only because I don't have many patterned papers with teal in them apart from floral ones, which I didn't want to use as I wanted this to go in my male cards collection. I never seem to have enough of men's cards, so any opportunity I can, I try to make one!

This card is also for

Something Else on Saturday #21 Featuring Happily Ever After by Selina Fenech

Good evening and welcome to this week's Something Else on Saturday post. Apologies for being late in the day but I completely forgot that I hadn't actually written this post! Today I am sharing an A5 colouring page from Selina Fenech called Happily Ever After. This is actually a scene from Selina's book Memory's Wake, which I read a while ago about a young girl who gets transported through a portal, where eventually she meets up with another young girl who has no memory of her life at all and does not appear to be from the same world. Go check it out, it's worth a read even if Young Adult books are not your thing (they're not mine usually either!)

Anyway....here's my colouring of this page for Selina's Facebook colouring competition. A very detailed drawing and took several hours to colour, but I love how it came out and think all that time was definitely worth it!

This colouring is also for
