Oh Christmas Tree

This week I have made a start on my Christmas cards using some lovely Lavinia Stamps.

I stamped the snowflakes in 3 different colour inks, then added the little scene in the middle.

I wish you could see the sparkle, but it never shows in photos!

TPS -Warm & Fuzzy

Our new challenge over at The Paper Shelter is the theme WARM & FUZZY.

What is more warm and fuzzy than baby animals?  So I have taken an image from one of the new PDF colouring Books - Forest Cute Baby Animals.

I have used the left over papers from my last card to create the background and added a foiled sentiment and some die cut fern leaves in Copper.

My image has been coloured with Copics. I went over the fur with a bender pen to create some texture.

TPS - Favourite Colour Combo

Our challenge over at The Paper Shelter this week is to use your favourite colour combo.

I have so many favourite combos, but they always seem to include Teal.  So I have gone with Red and Teal for my card this week, I really like the contrast.

The image I have used is Funky Girl.

I have used a combination of Copics and Graph-it markers.  I tend to used the Graph-it markers for red combos as I haven't really found a Copic blend that works well.

I used a combination of patterned papers to create my layout and added a row of sparkles.

I look forward to seeing your entries over on the challenge blog.

The Paper Shelter is back with our first challenge after our Summer Break, I hope you are all having a lovely Summer, as you read this I will be lazing by a pool in Halkidiki (Greece), lucky me!

The image I have used for my card this week is called HAPPY TIMES and is coloured with Copics.

I used a square stitched die set to cut my layers from various designer papers and added a foiled sentiment.

It's always good to have a 'Boy' card in my stash and this is a great image to use.
