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.

Tiny Toucan

Half way through the year, where has the first six months gone.

So today we launch this months new challenge at

Critter Crazy.

The theme is always Anything Goes

but please make a critter the focal point of your creation.

This wonderfully detailed Toucan stamp is from Sweet Poppy Stencils. I've quite simply stamped the image in brown archival ink, then added just a touch of pencil to add more shading. The image has been cropped slightly as I wanted it to fit on a smaller card. Then just layered up to keep the brown theme. Then just added a strip of pearls and a sentiment.
