Tiddly Reindeer

I'm using a Tiddly Inks image for my Outlawz Sketch Creation this month.

We've no sponsor this time, so that gives me an opportunity to colour some images in my stash I've had to do, like FOREVER!

This image is called Reindeer Games, I've coloured it with my Copics.



This is our sketch until 2nd January.


Ive used design paper from Maja Design and some Kraft card.



The sentiment, ribbon and wooden start I've also had in my stash for ages, about time I stopped hoarding! :D

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

Rest your wings.....

 I decided Morpheus needed to be added to the Christmas images, so I've drawn him curled around a bauble asleep.  Each time I draw him he evolves a little, one day he may become a BIG dragon!

Anyways.... you can find this image (Christmas Snooze) here in the shop where you can get 10% off all images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.



I've coloured the image with Copics and added a magical background with some Copic cleaner and a white acrylic paint pen.


I wanted to keep it nive and simple to showcase the card, so all I've added is some green glitter paper and some left over paper from 13Arts.  The sentiment "Rest your wings" was made from Tim Holtz stickers.

Thanks for popping by for a look today :)

My Little Elf

Today is new release inspiration day at All Dressed Up.



I wanted to showcase her so there's lots of scary white on this card :D

She's a bit cheeky so do you think she's naughty or nice ;)
The sentiment was cut out suing Sizzix letter dies.

Picking Apples

Today is our new release inspiration day at All Dressed Up.  I'm using Apple Picker.  I'm not sure if this little gal might be being cheeky picking apples over the fence, or at least that seems to be the scene I've sketched (or doddled) with my Copics ;) Maybe she's picking them to make an apple crumble.






I've coloured her with Copics creating a single layered card.
