What a Cutie

This little cutie is from Createful Heart our sponsor at Outlawz Sketch this month.  It's called Deer Cheer Reindeer Gift.

I've coloured the image with Copics.

Here's our sketch for the next two weeks

I've used some scrapbook papers for the background.

There's a section of white ric rac, but over the top of this I decided to add some icicles cut with a die.  I've added some DecoArt glitter to this and to the wooden Christmas sentiment.  I've also used a couple of white heart buttons.

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

Christmas Post Box

I'm also sharing something traditional today, this one is called Christmas Post box, you can find the image here in the shop where you can get 10% off all images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

The image was inspired by a recent holiday in the Lake District where I saw a couple of vintage post boxes and lots of robins,  I've coloured it with Copics.

Creating a single layer I've scattered some embossing enamel in the background and added a wooden sentiment I got in Hobby Craft.

Yes it was a little challenging and REALLY outside my comfort zone but I just love how this came out.  Maybe, just maybe I could have a go at making a few more digital cards :)

We've sponsored by WeAre3 at Outlawz Sketch this month.  I'm using a Deer from their Silhouette Scenes and one of their Merry Christmas Sentiments

Before I go on to show you my card this is our sketch for the next two weeks

So I've taken some photos of papers from First Edition, then pasted them into my software app and layered them up.  Huge learning curve but so love the result!
