Furry Friends....

Another Christmas card today :)

 I started a challenge way back in January on the Docrafts forum to make a christmas card a week! Well I have failed miserably!!!! This card is no. #13......I should be on #39 (tut tut)

But I will keep creating in the hope I will catch up a little :)

Well onto this card.....the layout is this week's fab sketch from PaperTakeWeekly....

The image is 'Furry Friends' from Sugar Nellie and I have coloured with promarkers, the cardstock layers have all been embossed and sanded and I have added the gorgeous pom-pom trim to echo the scalloped element of the sketch.

Lots of glitter and some bling to finish :)

I am also entering the following challenges ~

Penguin Love....

You've got to love these penguins from Sugar Nellie! So cute :)

I love the fair-isle scarf keeping them both warm and cosy!!

I have coloured the penguins with promarkers and prismas and used some gorgeous glittery papers from First Edition called 'Festive Treats'.

The layout is this week's great sketch from Sketch & Stash #71 ~ my new stash is the penguin stamp and the diecut shape behind them is from my new set of Nesting Dies from Do-Crafts.

Penny Black Saturday #170 ~ Monochrome....

Morning! Penny Black Saturday is here again :) and today's challenge is......

'Monochrome'.....

Create a card using shades of one colour :)

I decided to have a go at colouring an image all in browns too as I knew I had these lovely brown papers from Stampin' Up. I have coloured the image with promarkers as always in 4 different shades, adding extra shadow with a prisma pencil.

It was quite tricky to colour using but I did enjoy it!!!

With Love at Christmas....

A 'girly' Christmas card today....

I have used another stamp from the new release at Sugar Nellie called 'Knitted with Love'....so sweet!

I have coloured it in non traditional colours of green, pink and blue using my promarkers and prismas :)

The papers are from an 'old' Papermania pad I have had a looong time....I am trying to use up some of my paper mountain :)
