Too heavy to carry

Final week of the November Outlawz Sketch challenges sponsored by Anne Fenton.

I decided to do this little cutie in traditional Christmas colours using Copics.

She's been cut out with a Spellbinders die and mounted onto some black card cut out with a Spellbinders die to frame it.

Here's our sketch for this week

My design paper are from Lemoncraft and I've used some cream ribbon which you can find at the Ribbon Girl.

I've also used some snowtex to add texture, some silver snowflake charms and a felt holly leaf embellishment I got in Hobby Craft a couple of years ago.

Hope to see you at the challenge

Its blog challenge reminder day at Oddball Art, our theme this month is fantasy.

I've been meaning to make some new home cards for a while now and I thought this image no 309 from Oddball Art would be both different and perfect.  If you click on the link it will take you to Lizzy's shop where you can use my code DTANDREA10 to get yourself 10% off.

 

I've coloured this image using a combination of Copics, ProMarkers and polychromos pencils.

 

A single layered card, I've doodled a border with biro, added three silver dragonfly charms and used a sentiment from Lili of the Valley coloured with ProMarkers.

Hope you love my inspiration for today

I wanted to create an eeeeeerie scene for this one - I printed big to make a CAS card and used mostly grey Copics.  I've then used a combination of ProMarkers and Copics for the pops of pink.

Mounted onto some black card stock to frame the image I've just added a few rhine stones for sparkle and a black and white star sticker that I got in Paperchase

Picture this

A snow family on a vintage Christmas card.  That's what my hubby saw when I showed him my card using this image from Anne Fenton.  Anne is sponsoring us this month at Outlawz Sketch.

I've coloured the snowmen with ProMarkers, cut the image out with a Spellbinders die.  It's been edged with blue ProMarkers and DecoArt glitter.  I've also added some snowtex for some texture. 

Here's our sketch for today

I've used design papers from Craft & You which give it a lovely vintage feel and stayed with the sketch this week,

The glass star button were bought in Hobby Craft and I've had them in my stash for ages :D

Hope you like my inspiration for today and hopefully see you at the challenge

My First Christmas                                   Party Season

I've used Christmas Tree Fairy for my inspiration.  She's been coloured with ProMarkers, cut out and the edges distressed.  She backed with some black distressed card to frame her.

I got some of the new Lemoncraft Christmas design paper recently so decided to use this to make up the card.  I've used three of the papers which have been distressed.

Added embellishments are some poinsettias and gold glittered wooden holly leaves which I got from Hobby Craft ages ago.  The wooden heart are also from Hobby Craft from the wedding section.  There are some fabric red flowers from Petaloo, some wood chip holly leaf border from Scrapienic, red stamen , a couple of red beads, and some red gems.

Hope you love my inspiration for the day.

Christmas Bear

This is my second creation for The Crazy Challenge as a Guest Designer this month.  Tier challenge theme this time is Christmas.

It gave me a REALLY good excuse to use this cute little bear from Di's Digis called Snuggle Christmas

The image has been coloured with Copics cut out with a Spellbinders dies and edges with Antique Linen ink from Tim Holtz.  He's been mounted onto a circle of red card stock before mounting onto design papers from Maja Design.

Additional elements on this card are some tiny pom poms for snow balls, some silver snowflake charms for falling snow and a Marry Christmas sentiment I got from Hobby Craft ages ago.

Hope you love my inspiration for their new challenge
