Khaki Kid

It's time for a new challenge.

It starts today over at

The Crafty Catz.

Our sponsor this time is 

LeAnn's World.

and this is one of their images called

Benjamin.

The theme this time is blue and green.

I coloured the image with polychromo pencils. As the theme is blue and green I  wanted to try and make his clothing khaki coloured. The background has been made using a Sweet Poppy stencil called Stripes backplate. I first used it vertically with blue distress oxide, then turned it horizontally and used green distress oxide.

I've used a border punch piece of card and tied blue and white string round it. Then die cut a veritcal happy birthday sentiment to finish it off.

So today sees the start of a new challenge at

the Crafty Catz challenge.

Our sponsor this time is

All Dressed Up

This is one of their images but I think is retired now which is a shame.

Our theme this time is

Floral

I've coloured it with polychromo pencils, with a little light stencilling to add some clouds and grass. There are two patterned papers to make the backing layer with a ribbon across the join. For decoration I've die cut some leaves and flowers, plus a die cut sentiment to finish.

It's May already and we're having some lovely sunny weather at the minute.

So onto the new challenge at Critter Crazy.

Our theme as always is to make sure that

A critter

is the focal point on your creations.

This image is from Beccy's Place and a stamp set called Beachside Bliss.  I've coloured it with polychromo pencils. The background has been done with a stencil from Sweet Poppy stencils called Harmony Backplate. Done with blue distress inks I thought it sort of resembled waves. Then I've added a die cut Birthday greeting too complete.
