Xmas Snowballs

This is my card for the the mid challenge reminder at Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge Extra, our theme is always 'anything goes' - you can use any materials, any techniques etc., as long as the end result is a Christmas project.

I followed the sketch from the second challenge in the Bugaboo Fifth Annual Christmas in July week long event.

 

I have used the fun image called Poppi Xmas Snowballs kindly provided by our regular sponsor - Bugaboo.  I coloured my image with Spectrum Noir markers and added glitter to the snow and 3D Cystal Lacquer to the berries.  My papers are from the Fancy Pants Blissful Blizzard collection, I added two Die'sire Essentials Decorative corner die cuts and the ribbon is from my stash.

Bugaboo Stamps are our sponsor this challenge

They are offering $21 of digital stamps to the randomly selected winner.

So Sweet

Hi everyone, it's Thursday again and that means a new Willow Sketchie challenge,.  This week it's Lisa's turn and this is her first time to host the challenge.  This week we've all used the Missy image and Lisa added a recipe -

Add some shimmer/sparkle

Add something floral

Use something yellow

Here is my card

and this is Lisa's sketch

I've rotated the sketch and coloured Missy using ProMarkers (available from the Willow Designs Shop).  I've added glitter to her necklace and a couple of gems to the tag for the shimmer/sparkle, used floral backing paper and added two small flowers for the floral element and as you can see there is loads of yellow.  Full details of everything I have used are listed below.

I have decorated the inside of my card to complement the front.

Side by side forever

Good afternoon, today I am sharing a card I have made for a new challenge blog 'FETCH A SKETCH'.  I love sketch challenges so was really pleased to find a new one to play along with.

My card is an anniversary card for my husband, I hope he appreciates the humour.  The image is 'Side by Side', one of the Meet the Gleanies range from Joanna Sheen, I've coloured it using ProMarkers.  I've had these stamps hanging around for a while now (where have I heard that before!) and never found a use for them.

I used my lovely new Beach Bum papers from Fancy Pants layered onto core'dinations card stock.   To embellish my card I stamped and coloured a couple of extra hats and added some buttons from my stash.  Full details of everything I have used are detailed below.

I have decorated the inside of my card to complement the front.

Image:  Joanna Sheen Meet the Gleanies - Side by Side

Card stock:  Core'dinations,
