Thistles


It's new challenge time at


The optional theme this week is

Water colour Background.

We have no sponsor this week so we will just pick our favourites.

So the background of this card has been water coloured using distress inks. Then I've added some bits of Brushos to highlight. Then I have used archival black ink through the Sweet Poppy Thistles stencil.

I've just then layered it up on black and white card and added the sentiment.

Christmas is Coming


Back from our break this week at the Crafty Catz.

The theme for this weeks challenge is

 Get ready for Christmas.



I've used a new stamp from Sweet Poppy Stencils called Twigs and Berries. I lightly drew a circle so that I could stamp several times to make the wreath. Then coloured it with polychromo pencils. I left a gap in the circle so I could stamp the greeting in the space which is also from Sweet Poppy.
