New challenge at Polkadoodles today and this is my inspiration .

The image is called Holly Sparkles Christmas Unicorn and I have coloured it with Polychromo pencils.

2 Shepherds

For the current challenge over at the Colour Crazy Craft Challenge. I couldn't decide on the colour so I did 2 colourways.

Both use the same image from our sponsor which is All Dressed up and the image is

A Star is Born.

The first version I've done in blue. Coloured with Polychromo pencils.

There are 3 patterned papers and card for layers. 

I've then decorated with some ribbon, snowflake buttons and a circular sentiment. There is just a little sparkle on the stars on the image.

The second I've done in red colours. Also coloured with polyhromo pencils. A different layout for this one using only 2 patterned papers and some matching layers.

For this one I've used some tree shaped brads and wrapped red twine round them to decorate. Also with a circular sentiment and a little sparkle.

Stag

It's the last challenge for 2020 at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies Challenge.

For my card this month I used a Sweet Poppy Stag Courage stencil.

To start with I made the circle scene. I've used the Sweet Poppy circle stencil to put in the background colour. Then I've stamped in the Lavinia trees and added some tiny shade detail with pencils

. Then I've used white paste through the stag stencil, parts of the stencil have been masked off as I only wanted the stag on this card. Once dry I've coloured over the paste with Copic alcohol pens.

Finally the sentiments are from Sweet Poppy too and just a hessian knot. I think this is a great male card.

Boxes of snowpeople

Everything is square at the new challenge at Polkadoodles. We had to make a card with 4 squares. So I've got boxes of snowpeople.

The image I've used are Frosty tree haul, Frostella and Ginger, Frosty wrap up warm and Frostella shopping haul.

 

The images have been coloured with polychromo pencils, then die cut to make them square. The background paper is from Winnie white Christmas printable papers 3. The sentiment is from Festive word art. 

 

I've decorated it with some die cut leaves and poinsettias.

Waterfall

I haven't made one of these cards for such a long time.

I had to make a card with movement in it for the latest Polkadoodles challenge so I made a waterfall card, it's takes me back to my early card making days.

 I've used the images from Winnie White Christmas cute christmas penguins. The backing papers are from Winnie Winterland paper heaven 5.

The images have been coloured with polychromo pencils. I've also added some ribbon and gems.

vintage postcard

I couldn't wait to try out this new stencil from Sweet Poppy. 

It's a postcard.

I've made all this distressed. Using distress ink to colour and distressing the edges of all the layers. The stamps are from Lavinia stamps and are all stamped in distress inks to give them the faded look. I have distressed the lace as well. The sentiment is also from Sweet Poppy. I was really pleased with the outcome So many other ideas for this stencil can't wait to do them.
