Birthday Wishes

For this weeks challenge at the Crafty Catz

Our sponsor is QKR Stampede

and this is one of their images called

Roses & Ribbons - digi 21005.

I've coloured it with polychromo pencils. I decided to keep this pretty simple as I've been a little short of time recently. So I just added the birthday sentiment to the centre.

Thistles

It's new challenge time at

The Crafty Catz

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.

Bamboo Panda

It's time for a new Crafty Catz Challenge

Our sponsor this week is Dr Digi

and the image is called

Cuddly Critters Panda

Our theme is Use a Die

I've coloured this Panda with polychromo pencils. Then I've just used 2 dies. The bamboo is die cut from a green patterned paper. Then the sentiment is die cut too.

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.

But please make sure that an animal is the focal point of your card.

This lovely image is from Hetty Clair

and is called Friends for Ever.

I've coloured it with polychromo pencils.

The background paper has been printed. There is a piece of string wound down the side of the card and I've added some card candy in the loops. Then just  a sentiment to complete.

Sleepy bug

New month, new challenge at The Classic Design Challenge.

Our sponsor this month is Polkadoodles

and this is one of their images called Sleeping Lily Ladybug.

The theme is Anything Goes.

I decided to do an easel card this time, as I haven't done one for ages.

I've coloured the image using Polychromo pencils.

I've used patterned papers on the front and inside the card.

Then used 2 sentiments, one on the front and one to form the inside stop.
