My tree....

Its the first Wednesday of the month which means its time for our Outlawz Sketch challenge.

We've no sponsor this month, so that means we can use whatever we like for our inspiration this time :)

I've chosen to use Tree Topper from Saturated Canary, I've had this image in my stash for a long, log time and not used it.

I used to use this colour combination a lot, being one of my favourites.  I'd not used it for a while, so thought I'd try a non-traditional coloutews Christmas card with it - and I love how it came out!

The image has been coloured with Copics.  The snow was created using white embossing enamel

These are our sketch hints for this month.

My design paper is from Lily of the Valley, I've cut the Xmas Tree sentiment out using letter dies.  My only embellishment a silver glitter star.

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

Romeo for Valentines

Just popping a card in for the inspiration at SheepSki Designs in the Facebook group.  The challenge starts today.

I thought I'd show how Romeo doesn't just have to be used for Christmas cards :D

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

I've coloured him with Copics and scattered some embossing enamel as I would for a winter / Christmas card.  However, I've used mostly reds which are perfect with the snow heart he's drawing.

There's some design paper for matting behind the image from Joy Crafts, then I've used some off cuts of paper to make a banner for interest and a heart left over from a die cut banner.  The sentiment is made up from Tim Holtz stickers.
