New Challenge at Outlawz

 Well it's been quite a while since I blogged anything.  Life went totally crazy last year.  I'm hoping to find some more me time to create this year AND blog them.

So this is my first post for the new year with a new challenge at Outlawz, The Outlawz Christmas Challenge can be found here.

I've joined the Christmas challenge so I have plenty of Christmas cards made by the end of the year!  Fingers crossed, I definitely didn't have enough this year.

This is my first inspiration for the new challenge, using a very old Stamping Bella Stamp I've had in my collection for over 10 years, called I believe in Santa.  I don't think you can get it any more.


I've coloured the image with Copics and matter it onto some design paper from Hobbycraft.  A very clean simple design to break me back into creating again haha.....

Hope we see you at the challenge

Mechanical

I'm a little late posting this for the first Wednesday of the month which means its time for our Outlawz Sketch challenge.  Life is a little crazy at the moment!

We've no sponsor this month, so I've chosen to use one of mu own images called Mechanical.  I've had this colouring on the go for quite a while.  When this sketch came up, I thought perfect opportunity to get it finished :)



The image has been coloured with Copics.

These are our sketch hints for the month, perfect right :D



I've just added a few gold gems and a sentiment from Tim Holtz.

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

I've created a single layered card colouring the image with Copics.



I've also used some acrylic paints for the flower field and a little in the sky.  The birds and sentiment were hand drawn / written.

I've coloured him with Copics as thought he's in a room.
