Leg up


It's Friday so that must mean a new challenge from the Crafty Catz.

Our Sponsor this week is Dr Digi
and this is one of their images called Horsey Harriet.

The theme is use 3 colours.
Mine are blue, green and brown. 



I've coloured the image with polychromo pencils. I have then used 2 stencils from Sweet Poppy. The first is the Plaid stencil round the edge of the base card in blue. Then the next layer is grass in green. Finally the sentiment is have a great day, I don't think the rider is necessarily having a good day though.

I've coloured this cute little penguin with polychromo pencils. I've added some snow paste to the brim and bobble of his hat.

Rosie Racoon



Another new month so a new challenge at Critter crazy.
Where has this year gone it's nearly Christmas. 

My image this month is from Di's Digi's called


I've coloured this cute Racoon with Polychromo pencils. The background patterned paper is quite dramatic with these lovely sunflowers on, so I coloured a couple of the flowers in the image to blend in with it. Then there a 3 velvet leaves with a little yellow flower. A sentiment completes this card.
