September 2020 Not Just Cards Challenge for the 11th of September, 2020

Not Just Cards is having a new challenge this month. The theme for the September 2020 Challenge is as usual: "ANYTHING GOES".

To join in the fun, click on the following link:

Not Just Cards Challenge.

Here is my colouring for this month! As it was so dark, I have placed it on top of our fireplace next to the Mt Barker stone mantlepiece.

I have coloured the June-July 2020 Brighten Your Day Colouring Class from the wonderful Alyce at Kit and Clowder. The stamp is Patch and Puss on the Bench from Lili of the Valley, but I think it is exclusive for members only so you only get access to it through the Kit and Clowder Class. There are a heap of Patch and Puss digi stamps on the Lili of the Valley Etsy Shop website.

Here are the progression shots: 

 

Here are the finished images:

I also tried to use a little easel:

Welcome to our ninth challenge for 2020.

Our theme is:
SNOWMEN AND SNOW

"Snowmen and snow"

We want to see snowmen and/or snow in your Christmas creations.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Bugaboo Stamps:

Everything that you ever wanted to know about Bugaboo Stamps - a short essay!

As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of paper crafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was seven years ago.

Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images and we're still growing! From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.

Jodie works hard to provide new releases and freebies every week!

And the prize on offer for our lucky winner is:

$12 gift code to spend in the Bugaboo Stamps store.

I chose Christmas Words - Snow for my image, which I digitally printed on to X-Press It blending card and then cut out using my paper cutter. 

I have coloured the image with the following Copics markers:

• snowmen and snowballs - C00, C0, C1, R20, clear Wink of Stella
• hats - C5, C7, C9, R35, R37, R39, clear Wink of Stella

• outline - B16

I then adhered the coloured image on to a white square card from Envelope Solutions and finally attached rhinestones from KaiserCraft that I coloured with B16 and B18.
As usual, I have taken inspiration from the wonderful Monthly Classes and Bonus Classes from the awesome Alyce at Kit and Clowder.

Here is a close-up of the colouring:

I also had an image before I added the rhinestones:
