Christmas is coming- - -

- - - so I need to make a concentrated effort with my Christmas cards.
I cut this one with my nesties and then embossed with a sizzix folder.
Smooshed it with a green tea ink pad, added some Christmas ribbon, a recycled message, and a glittered star. I can enter the following challenges

Teddy Bear Time

My scanner has not behaved very well with the colour of the bear - his face is not as dark IRL.
I printed him from a CD and coloured with copics and water-colour pencils. Finished off with a gingham bow and some wee mauve flowers.

Autumn Colours

This card started off to be something totally different, but after I had made the background I knew it had to be an Autumn card. I ran the card through the cb and then swiped ink to highlight the design, then ran through with a different folder and coloured it again. The quote is a digi which I printed on to cream metallic card, and finished off with a flower and brad.
There are quite a few Autumn challenges on at the moment.

A Lovely Sketch

I needed some new birthday cards, so sat down yesterday and had a play around. I have used the lovely sketch from Sketch and Stash and also used some new red pearls, which toned in nicely. I used a cuttlebug die for the handmade flowers.
