Christmas Post Box



The image was inspired by a recent holiday in the Lake District where I saw a couple of vintage post boxes and lots of robins,  I've coloured it with Copics.


Creating a single layer I've scattered some embossing enamel in the background and added a wooden sentiment I got in Hobby Craft.

Hey cutie

Have you seen this little cutie from Createful Heart, our sponsors at Outlawz Sketch this month?  You can find Baby Giraffe here.


I've coloured the image with Copics and then hand cut the oval. 

Here's out sketch for the next two weeks.


My design papers are form First Edition.  I've used a Suzzix die set to create the sentiment.



The only other additions are a couple of heart pearl gems and a section of white ric rac from my stash. 

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

Ok so maybe I could get hooked

Yes it was a little challenging and REALLY outside my comfort zone but I just love how this came out.  Maybe, just maybe I could have a go at making a few more digital cards :)

We've sponsored by WeAre3 at Outlawz Sketch this month.  I'm using a Deer from their Silhouette Scenes and one of their Merry Christmas Sentiments


Before I go on to show you my card this is our sketch for the next two weeks



So I've taken some photos of papers from First Edition, then pasted them into my software app and layered them up.  Huge learning curve but so love the result!

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

CRAFT Challenge #617

Honoured to be invited as a guest designer at CRAFT Challenge this week, their theme this time is CHRISTMAS.
As I'm on the DT for All Dressed Up I decided to use this cutie, Three Little Christmas Girls for my inspiration.  You can find it in Wendy's shop here.


The image has been coloured with Copics, the sentiment printed at the same time as the image.


I'm making a set of snowy scene Christmas cards, so I've added some embossing enamel for this.  The images is matted onto some burgundy card.
