And this is one of their images.

I think he is quite a rustic looking reindeer, so I've used more distressed looking background papers. I used some glittery red ribbon and a snowflake button.

and this is one of their images called

So apart from the image I have just added a Ho Ho Ho die cut out of craft card.

This is my first card as guest DT member for

Colour Crazy Craft Challenge.

The theme is Always Anything Goes.

Our Sponsor is Polkadoodles.

.

I have used one of our sponsors images which is called  Holly Sparkles Christmas Unicorn  and is available here. I really enjoyed colouring her in, well I feel it's a girl anyway

I decided that I wanted to do a different colour scheme for a change, So hence the pink and purple background papers with some grey layers to go with the colours I used on the image.

I have coloured the image with Copic and Tria alcohol pens. The wings have been glittered with stickles Frosted and the fur and has been done with Snow paste and white glitter. The Happy Christmas greeting is stamped and an added glittery bow to finish.

Birthday Bunting

My card for the new Challenge at

Crafting with an Attitude

which is Always Anything Goes.

This followed on from from doing my last project, the mixed media canvas. I decided to carry on in the same sort of mode and made this quite simple inky birthday card.

I have just used distress inks, stencils and background stamps to layer up the background. Then the bunting and letters are die cut.

It was really quite quick to do But I really liked it a good mans card I feel.

Not Scarecrow at all

My card this time for Crafting with an Attitude challenge.

The theme is Anything Goes.

The image is I have used is from Robyns Fetish and is called Scarecrow on a basket.

I had to use a sketch for a design as all my usual ideas up and left. The image is coloured with Polychromos pencils. 

I like this sketch because it uses lots of layers and I love layers. The greeting has been stamped. Plus a lovely little matching bow.

This is a little late, but we've been away for a couple of days and only just got back.

This is my inspiration for the new challenge at Make my Monday.

The theme is Animal Antics.

I'm not looking forward to winter and cold weather so I decided to bring a bit of spring sunshine to the challenge. It's either late from spring gone or a wish of spring to come.

I've used a Lily of the Valley stamp and coloured it with alcohol pens.

There is a patterned paper background from Basic Gray.

I have added a doily to the top left corner and some daffodils which are really spring flowers.

The sentiment is from Stampin Up. Plus a matching yellow ribbon bow.

Strawberry Patch

It's Time for a new challenge over at 

Make My Monday.

And I am thrilled to say that after completing my guest DT spot for them they asked if I would like to stay on, and I was happy to say yes.

The theme this time round is

Something for a child

This is such a cute image of a little girl with her Strawberries. She is called Strawberry Girl and is from Mo Manning. I have die cut her out and layered the image on to Marianne die. The background is a nice coordinating stripy paper. And there is a little bow in the corner decorated with a strawberry button. For the sentiment I have used letter beads, which could be threaded onto a cord to make a bracelet for the recipient.

and the theme this time is

Lazy Days of Summer

For this card I have decided to use my Clarity Stamps. The back ground is done using 4 colours of distress inks then the tropical leaves has been stamped around the edge using green Archival.

The image has also been done using distress inks. The beach huts have been stamped in grey Archival and the tall grasses in brown Archival. I have coloured the beach huts with pencils. The word seaside is on a hand cut tag with die cut letter. I like the effect from using soft, hazy colours.
