Mottled Gold

What a busy couple of weeks, my heads just mush, but I'm here now for

this weeks challenge for

The Crafty Catz.

It's now

ATG

so just enter and have fun.

I thought I would try something a bit different for this time. I've still used my favourite Sweet Poppy Stencil, this one is called Cosmos. This time I've used a mixture of gold and white paste through the stencil to give a marbled effect. It gives a soft, misty effect which I'm quite pleased with the end result especially combined with the kraft card. Then I've just finished it off with the birthday sentiment.

Sleepy Koala

It's nearly spring here in the UK.

And to day is the start of a new challenge at

Critter Crazy.

Our challenge is just for fun,

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

This cute sleepy Koala is an image from All Dressed Up and it's called Koala Hugs.

I've coloured it with polychromo pencils. There are 2 patterned papers that make the background. Then I've just added a sentiment as I think the image is so cute on it's own.
