Mika by SheepSki Designs for Winter Wonderland on the 2nd of April, 2021

At Winter Wonderland this month, we are hosted by Michelle.
Welcome to our fourth challenge for 2021.

Our theme is:

Peace on Earth

So here is my card:

Please remember that it is Christmas projects only and they must include the theme.

"Peace on Earth"

Our sponsor for this challenge is SheepSki Designs:

Living in Leeds, Yorkshire in the UK, working full time as a Management Accountant, currently working on 2 design teams and an obsessive crafter and creator of cards. I have no actual style as yet but do love the unusual and quirky. I may be known for producing cards in soft pastel colours. I love anything arty. I've always drawn stuff, for as long as I can remember. In my younger days I sold a few watercolour paintings. I recently found mixed media which is a joy and love creating canvases with flowers. I had a battle with digital drawing for about a year and finally found some software I could gel with. 

In January 2016 a challenge team I worked on was short of a designer's images to create with so to the crafting world, to the lovely ladies who have supported me on my journey. I've a Facebook group SheepSki Designs where I hold challenges, some for fun to win digis as well as my monthly card challenge. I've a SheepSki Designs challenge blog as well. Things are growing slowly (thankfully) so I still manage to spend at least a little time with my hubby. Welcome to my world Andrea xx

And the prize on offer for the winner is - 3 images of their choice 

I was given Mika for my image, which I digitally printed on to X-Press It blending card and then cut out using my paper cutter.

I then adhered the coloured image on to a white card from Envelope Solutions.

Hoppy Easter for April Love to Craft Challenge Blog #57 on the 1st of April, 2021

For my third challenge with Love To Craft Challenge Blog, I decided to use a digital stamp from La-La Land Crafts. As it is Easter just around the corner, I decided on the Easter Bunny which was released last year as a digital stamp, but you can also find it as a clear stamp in Oh Crop drawn by the wonderful Irina from La-La Land Crafts.

Anyway, here is my card:

I have digitally stamped the Easter Bunny with one of the sentiments on to X-Press It Blending Card.

Then I have coloured with the following Copics pens:

• bunny - E31, E33, E35, E37, R20, R30
• egg - V20, V22, V25, V28, clear Wink of Stella
• grass - YG61, YG63, YG67
• sky - BG000, B000, B00, B12, B21, B23, E50, Y11, R000, R20, R30, RV42
• outline - B69

I have cut around the image with my paper cutter and then adhered it to a white square card from Envelope Solutions. Then I have added some rhinestones that I coloured with B69 and V28 to the corners.

I have taken inspiration for the colouring from La-Land Crafts Blog.

Here is a close-up of the colouring:

Club La-La Land Marci with Sled and Bears for the Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog #33 on the 1st of April, 2021

For my third challenge with Merry Little Christmas Challenge Blog and as I have been collecting a whole bunch of Christmas stamps and dies from La-La Land Crafts, I decided to use the November 2020 Club La-La Land Crafts Kit. I have used both the stamp sets and some of the dies!

Here is my card:

Anyway, I have stamped Marci with Sled and the three bear images from the November 2020 Club LLLC Kit using Black Tuxedo Memento ink on to X-Press It Blending Card.

Then I have coloured with the following Copics markers:

• skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20, R30
• lips - R20, R22
• hair - E21, E23, E25, E29
• grey - C0, C1, C3
• reds - R32, R35, R37, R39
• blues - B12, B14, B16, B18
• pompoms on hats - Twinkle Stickles
• sled - E31, E33, E35, E37
• outline - BG000/B000 (I have accidentally refilled my BG000 with B000!) 

I fussy cut out the images and then using my die cutting machine cut out the Fence on a Hill and the Winter Houses in some card stock from my stash. I adhered everything to my slimline card from Envelope Solutions.

I have taken inspiration for the colouring from La-La Land Crafts Blog.

Here is a close-up of the colouring of the images:

As I couldn't fit everything on the slimline card, I added one of the bears and the sentiment to the inside of the card:
