Lil Christmas Pup

I'm honoured to be joining CRAFT Challenge as a GDT this week.  Their theme is Animals this time.  I'm using an image from Sweet n Sassy called Christmas Puppy.

The image has been coloured with Copics and then fussy cut.

My design papers are from First Edition and I've also used some black card.

I've tied some twine in matching colours, added . few golden snowflake charms and a large wooden glittery snow flake to finish :)

Thanks for popping by for a look.

A Little Hello

We're sharing some more inspiration today with Wendy's new release images from All Dressed Up.

The one I'm using today is Floral Wellies, which you can find here.

After colouring the image I decided to do a vintage styled card.  The image was coloured with Copics, cut it a Spellbinders die, the edges distressed with Vintage Photo ink from Tim Holtz and then two different types of embossing enamel scattered around the edges.

My papers are fro Lemoncraft, distressed and cut with a Fantasy Die.

Behind the image is a section of cream lace, my white paper flowers and leaves were also distressed with Vintage photo ink.  Finally i've added a sentiment from Make It Crafty coloured with Copics and some pearl gems.

You can see some more inspiration today from the Dressy Girls on the blog and in the Facebook Group.

To finish the card I've used some teal ribbon and a sentiment from Make It Crafty coloured with Copics.

I've been busy this weekend creating, I coloured this image Winter Warm Up with Copics last night and have just finished the card this afternoon so I can share it with you.

You can find Winter Warm Up in the shop here where you can get 10% off all images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

This card is stock full on my favourite techniques and embellies :)
Around the image I've scattered some embossing enamel.  All my papers (from Lili of the Valley) and the image have been distressed with a Tonic Solutions tool.

The sentiment I created at the time of printing, originally I can going to do a CAS style card but changed my mind as soon as I started colouring her.

I've used two different Fantasy Dies, some purple papers flowers and a strip of flowery lace that made me think of snowflakes when I turned it upside down.

This inspiration was created for the Passionate Paper Creations & Friends sponsorship weekend, where, if you hurry you can check out the announcements and enter your links of your favourite images for a chance to win!

The image has been coloured with Copics.  I was a little slapdash around the window frame so I've gone over this with a white gel pen.  In the sky I've used some embossing enamel.

I coloured this image in a bit of a rush and didn't really think about design papers until after.  After shuffling through several paper I picked some from Joy Craft.  The image and black card framing it were both distressed with a Tonic solutions tool.

The final thing I added was a Birthday sentiment.

My design papers are from First Edition and Lemoncraft (also distressed with the same ink).

Underneath the image is a section of lace (instead of paper).  I've also added a couple of sections of film strip from Tim Holtz.

Angel Tag

At SheepSki Designs on the challenge blog we've just gone live with our Die Cuts and / or Punches themed challenge.  I'm joining my lovely ladies today for the inspiration.

I've chosen to use Mika, you can find here here in my Etsy shop where you can get 10% off all my images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

The image has been coloured with Copics.  I've then scattered some embossing enamel on to add to the starry night sky effect.

I thought about it for a while then decided to make a Christmas tag.  I'm quite into recycling my old cardboard at the moment, so off I went for a rummage in the kitchen to see what cardboards I could find.  I've ended up using a tonic water box :)

Here you can see the die cut tag.  I've used some sparkly white paper to frame the image.  I've added some tiny silver star charms to the tag.  Finally I found a selection of ribbons to add :)

Thanks for popping by today, we hope to see you at the challenge

Florals

Our challenge this month at All Dressed Up in the Facebook Group is to add a Flower.

So I've decided this time to use one of Wendy's beautiful flower images.  This one is called Jam Jars.  I've printed the image large and used just one of the three, colouring it with Copics and fussy cutting it to add to the card.

My design paper is from First Edition and I've also used some black card.

The background behind creating a sunburst was created using a Tim Holtz stencil, tangerine and black inks.  I've also added some embossing enamel.

All of the papers / card were distressed with a Tonic Solutions tools.

My final additions were some orange enamel dots and a happy birthday sentiment from Make It Crafty coloured with Copics.

Don't forget as well as our challenges in the group we also have blog challenges which you can find here.
