It's nearly Christmas Deer

Christmas is only round the corner, so I've got Christmas inspiration for todays new

Critter Crazy Challenge.

Our Theme is always ATG

but please make sure that a critter is the focal point of your card.

I've used a stamp from Sweet Poppy Stencils for this card. It's called Christmas Deer and has been coloured with polychromo pencils. Behind the main image I've used a Holly stencil to add some pattern to the background. Down the side of the card I've used the Holly Trio die set also from Sweet Poppy with added red gems for berries and fake snow on the leaves. Just a Christmas sentiment to complete.

Twilight Birdy

It's time for a new challenge at the Crafty Catz.

We have no sponsor this week

so our challenge is just for fun.

The theme is use a stencil.

I went with a clean and simple design this week. I have used 2 Sweet Poppy stencils for this card. The first one is a leaf stencil which unfortunately is no longer available. I have inked through is with distress inks in yellow, orange and purple. I've used a punched circle to create a moon. The second stencil is called Kingfisher (bird 2) and I've used black archival ink for that one. The just a die cut birthday greeting.

Horsing Around

The Crafty Catz challenge is back today after our summer break.

Our sponsor this week is Dr Digi

and this is one of their images called Horsey Harriet.

Our them for this week is

Anything Goes.

I've kept this card a clean and simple design. The image has been coloured using polychromo pencils. Then just mounted onto a kraft card base. The happy birthday has been die cut. A really simple card for a horsey friend, and I'm sure they've been stuck in this position at some point.

Moove over

Well! where did the summer go, here and gone before you know it.

But it's time for a new challenge at Critter Crazy.

Then theme is as always make a critter the centre piece of your make,

For my card this month I've used a Sweet Poppy Stencil called Isla Highland Cow. I've used a very light coloured ink through the stencil just to give me an image to follow. I've then removed the stencil and coloured over the ink with polychromo pencils. Then I've kept it quite simple with a background of a toning stiped paper and a stamped sentiment.

A very pleasant Pheasant

Welcome to August and we are having some lovely weather at the minute.

That means we have a new challenge at

Critter Crazy.

Our theme as always is anything goes

but please make sure that a critter is the focal point on your card.

This card is made using a stencil from Sweet Poppy Stencils called Inspire(pheasant). I have used white paste through the stencil then, when it's dry, coloured over the top with alcohol pens. The image has then simply been layered up using black, white and gold mirror card. Then just added a sentiment to complete.
