New start for a new year

It's around this time we get all the "new" creations, so thinking along those lines I've done a new baby girl card using Lizzy's image 269 from Oddball Art for the blog challenge reminder today.

Check them out online where you can use my code DTANDREA10 to get 10% off.

I've coloured this image using Copics and polychromos pencils.  Into the background I've doodles some clouds with blue Copics.

The edges of the design paper from Lemoncraft, black card stock and image were all distressed.

I left a large clear space at the bottom where I could put a sentiment and baby feet (wood chip elements from Scrapienic).  there were coloured with Copics.

My final touch are some pink glitter dots and black gems

Not quite got out of the habit of making Christmas cards yet :D

Especially as I couldn't resist this little cutie by Wendy from All Dressed Up.  The image is called Christmas Snowglobe and you can find it on Etsy

I've coloured it using ProMarkers.  The edges have had some Antique Linen ink applied by Tim Holtz and then I've distressed it.

Design papers are all from Maja Design and have also bee distressed.

The Christmas trees are wooden elements from Scrapienic.  The glittery wooden start I got as part of a set from Hobby Craft last year.  I've aded a few silver snowflake charms to the ones Wendy has drawn and my final embellishment are some pearl gems.

Skully Christmas

I've been dying to share this little guy on a finished card.

My hubby loves skulls so I thought drawing him a skull bauble would make the perfect card..  Once I'd finished him I thought others might like to have the opportunity to have him so I added him to my shop.

He's been coloured with ProMarkers and but out with a Spellbinders die.  The edges have been distressed with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo ink from Tim Holtz to make it look more grungy.

He's been mounted onto some black card stock cut out with a Spellbinders die.

The shaped card was covered with black crd stock before I added the design papers.  There were from Maja Design and have been distressed.

I've added some twisted looking vines which are wood chi elements from Scrapienic.  The HoHoHo sentiment is a stick on one from Hobby Craft, I thought went perfect with the image.

The only other things I've added is a glittery poinsettia and some black gems.

Happy Christmas Allen - I couldn't do all this without your support

Night Before Christmas

Today is our second lot of inspiration for Wendy's new images.

Today I'm sharing what I've created with The Night Before Christmas.  She's supposed to be sleeping so I had the idea to do this image in grey scale and added a few pops of girly pink :D

I've used Copics and polychromos pencils to do this with.

Design papers from Maja Desing and First Edition with black card stock and the image have all been distressed.  The pink paper was an off cut from some Joy Designs paper.

I've used some wood chip embellishments and sentiment from Scrapeinic coloured with black Copic and a few black gems to finish off.

We've more inspiration over on the blog and in the Facebook group - don't forget to check them out

I Have Hope

Had to do another cat card :D  This time inspired by NanaConnie who is on my DT I've done the cat white!

I stuck with a simple colour scheme of green and white, just adding a little pink on the cat and orange on the bauble.

This image if you don't know it is Mindy - you can find her in my shop on Etsy.

I've used ProMarkers to colour her with and added a little black polychromos pencil for extra shading.

Creating a CAS card I've used one design paper from Lemoncraft and some black card stock.  Doodled with biro to create a border and added a HOPE sentiment which is a sticker from Hobbycraft.
