Beary Merry Christmas

It time for our next Christmas challenge at Outlawz (check it out here).  You can make anything you like as long as its Christmassy :)

I've used an image from OddBall Art by Lizzy Love.  I'm not sure Lizzy has a shop anymore sadly.

I've coloured the image with Copics trying to make the bear look soft and fuzzy.

I've used some design paper from my stash to match the reds of the hat, heart and pencil.  Nothing else for this one, not even a sentiment to add :)

Thanks for popping by, hopefully see you at the challenge

Winter Heart

It's new release inspiration day at All Dressed Up.  For my inspiration today I'm using the very cute image called Winter Heart, you can find her here in Wendy's Shop.

I've coloured her  with Copics in a colour combination that I don't often use but love!

I found some perfect design paper in my stash and matched it with some blue glitter card.

No other embellishments today. just a clean and simple design to showcase one of Wendy's fab new images,

You can find more inspiration on the challenge blog and in the Facebook group today.

We're back.....

 We've all had a lovely break at All Dressed Up, our first Facebook challenge of the year is here.  This month we'd like to see your creations with "HEARTS AND / OR FLOWERS".

For my inspiration today I'm using Two Little Mice, they're just so adorable.  You can find them in Wendy's shop here.

I've coloured them so they're white with pops of red for the flower with Copics.  After that I fussy cut them to layer on the card.

I cut the top of the card with a heart die, behind this is a square of card stock coloured with Copics for the cloudy sky.  You may be able to see some embossing enamel which I've added for some extra interest.

The hearts were cut from scraps of red paper (Lily of the Valley left overs) using a die banner. The hears are form the middle of the banner :)
The sentiment was printed at the same time as the image, distressed and layered onto some white card.

Don't forget we have the blog challenge starting 15th February.  Double your changes to win.

Thanks for popping by for a look today.  Hope we'll see you at the challenge.

New Challenge at Outlawz

 Well it's been quite a while since I blogged anything.  Life went totally crazy last year.  I'm hoping to find some more me time to create this year AND blog them.

So this is my first post for the new year with a new challenge at Outlawz, The Outlawz Christmas Challenge can be found here.

I've joined the Christmas challenge so I have plenty of Christmas cards made by the end of the year!  Fingers crossed, I definitely didn't have enough this year.

This is my first inspiration for the new challenge, using a very old Stamping Bella Stamp I've had in my collection for over 10 years, called I believe in Santa.  I don't think you can get it any more.

I've coloured the image with Copics and matter it onto some design paper from Hobbycraft.  A very clean simple design to break me back into creating again haha.....

Hope we see you at the challenge

Its all white.....

It's new release inspiration day at All Dressed Up.  For my inspiration today I'm using the very cute image Bunny Heart, you can find it here in Wendy's shop.

We have a thing about white rabbits in our house, so I decided to colour a white rabbit :D

While doing that I thought it would be cool to keep the whole thing in the same theme with a pop of colour in the flowers.

Underneath and around the image are two difference colours of embossing enamel.

I've created a single layer card, distressed the edged with a Tonic tool.

One tony embellishment, a little wooden heart.

You can find more inspiration on the challenge blog and in the Facebook group today.

Sweet as......

It's new release inspiration day at All Dressed Up.  For my inspiration today I'm using the very cute image As Sweet as Melon, you can find it here in Wendy's shop.

I've coloured the image with Copics with bright melon colours, offsetting with a lovely cream and green spotted dress.

Creating a CAS styled card to showcase the image I've used three papers to match the melon colours red and black card and some green design paper from Studio Light.

My sentiment is made up to match the image name from Tim Holtz stickers.

Rest your wings.....

 I decided Morpheus needed to be added to the Christmas images, so I've drawn him curled around a bauble asleep.  Each time I draw him he evolves a little, one day he may become a BIG dragon!

Anyways.... you can find this image (Christmas Snooze) here in the shop where you can get 10% off all images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

I've coloured the image with Copics and added a magical background with some Copic cleaner and a white acrylic paint pen.

I wanted to keep it nive and simple to showcase the card, so all I've added is some green glitter paper and some left over paper from 13Arts.  The sentiment "Rest your wings" was made from Tim Holtz stickers.

My Little Elf

Today is new release inspiration day at All Dressed Up.

I'm using the cute My Little Elf image, you can find it here in Wendy's shop.

I wanted to showcase her so there's lots of scary white on this card :D

She's been coloured with Copics and then cut out to create a single layered card with a white border. 

She's a bit cheeky so do you think she's naughty or nice ;)

The sentiment was cut out suing Sizzix letter dies.

You can find more inspiration in the Facebook Group today and on the challenge blog.

Angel Wings

Today is new release inspiration day at All Dressed Up.  I'm using Angel Wings for my inspiration, I'm so happy Wendy has an angel in her shop again :)

I've framed her with some silver glitter card and added a few silver glitter stars to match.  Finally the Merry Christmas sentiment is from Hobby Craft.

Timeless

Its new challenge day at Outlawz Sketch, this month we have no sponsor, so I've chosen to use an image from Conie Fong called Lavender's Blue.

The image has been coloured with Coics, then fussy cut to go onto the card.

This is our sketch for April.

I've chosen to do a clean styles card just cutting some design paper from Hobby Craft in similar colours to the image with a Spellbinders die to mat the image onto.

I've added a simple sentiment using a Tim Holtz sticker.  No embellies or anything, so unlike me ;)
