Here is my card:

Here is a close-up of the colouring:

I have digitally printed Leila Decorating from Sasayaki Glitter on to X-Press It Blending Card, along with a "Happy Holidays" sentiment from La-La Land Crafts. Then I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the image. I have used the following Copics:

• skin: E000, E00, E02, E21, E11, E04, R20, lipstick red Spica pen
• hair: E31, E33, E35, E37

• tree: G21, YG17, YG67, G99, E35, E37, B41, B66, B69, clear Wink of Stella, R22, R27, R29

The Northern Lights background came from the fantastic Alyce from Kit and Clowder.

Traditional Christmas Colours - Red and Green - Winter Wonderland Challenge for the 24th of November, 2017

I'm late again, as I was travelling for work and then we have had thunder and lightning storms which has meant that I can't use my computer. :(

However, this fortnight we are hosted by Helen, who has decided that the theme will be......

Traditional Christmas Colours - Red and Green

Please remember that it is Christmas Projects only.

So here is my card:

Here is a close up of the colouring:

I have used the Snowman and Bird digital stamp from our wonderful sponsor Sasayaki Glitter.

They are offering the winner one digi image of their choice.

Their store is here - https://www.etsy.com/shop/SasayakiGlitter

and their challenge blog is here - http://sasayakiglitter.blogspot.co.uk/

They also have a Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1725571720999725

I digitally printed this beautiful snowman image using my Silhouette Cameo on to X-Press It paper and then had my Silhouette cut out the image (so much easier than fussy cutting!)

I have then coloured the image with the following Copics markers:

• snowman - 0, C1, C3, YR09, 100 (button)
• snowman's arms - E74, E77, E79
• snowman's scarf - YG03, G05, G07, R27
• snowman's heart - R24, R27, R29, Wink of Stella
• snowman's hat - R24, R27, R29
• bird - Y11, Y15, YR09, RV19 (heart), Wink of Stella
• flower - V25, Y15, Wink of Stella
• snow - 0, B00, Wink of Stella, white gel pen
• background - 0, B00, B000

I have then used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink with one of those sponges to add some colour to the front of the card with some more white gel pen snowflakes. 

I have then made a shaker card with a piece of transparency that I found on my shelves! Along with two layers of some thick double sided foam tape and a piece of green card stock that I have used a square die from KaiserCraft to cut my window for the shaker. Added some glitter, silver stars, pale blue and white seed beads and some die cut scraps to complete the shaker.

As you can see the foam tape (well I can anyway!) I have coloured it with YG97 Copic pen and then as I made a bit of an oopps on the green cardstock, I ran a line of it around the edge.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Less is More Challenge #356 - Let it Shine

Colour Crazy Challenge Wk47 - Anything Goes Craft Challenge

Lemon Shortbread Challenge #55 - Anything Goes

Crafty Sentiments Design - Baby - it's cold outside....

For A Child - Winter Wonderland Challenge for the 17th of March, 2017

For the next two weeks at Winter Wonderland, we are hosted by ME!

I have chosen the theme of "For A Child"

So we want to see anything that a child will love for Christmas.

Please remember that it is Christmas projects only.

We are sponsored this week by "Sasayaki Glitter" who are offering 1 digi stamp to the winner.

Sasayaki Glitter are actually based here in Melbourne, Australia! You can find them on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com.au/shop/SasayakiGlitter and they have a challenge blog and Facebook group.

They have many different images for you to colour and add to your projects: cute elephants, Australian animals, Easter chicks and kitties just to name a few!

We had two images to play with for this challenge:

Winter Kiddles - a cute koala sitting in the snow

or the one I chose

Christmas Bunny Decorating - a cute bear with some Christmas lights

So here is my card:

I digitally stamped Christmas Bunny Decorating on to X-Press It card and then had my Silhouette Cameo fussy cut around the image.

I have used the following Copics pens to colour the bunny:

• bunny's fur - E41, E43, E44, E47, RV63 (ears)
• hat and boots - R32, R35, R37
• christmas lights from left to right - BG53 & BG57, RV02 & RV66, B60 & B69, V01 & V28, YR02 & YR09, YG13 & YG17
• sparkle on hat and lights - Wink of Stella
• background - B000, B02

I have then followed the sketch from this month's Christmas Card Throwdown:

I have adhered Christmas Bunny Decorating on to a white card from Envelope Solutions and then attached 3 different Washi tape as the stripes of colour from Manzawa. The sentiment "merry christmas" is from Toboggan Together by Lawn Fawn and is stamped in Cottage Ivy Memento ink.

I would also like to enter my card into the following challenges:
Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra for March - anything goes as long as it's Christmas
Weekly Christmas Card Challenge #8 - anything goes as long as it's Christmas*

*this challenge has an optional challenge that I may make another card and enter into these challenges again.
