Warm and Cozy

Time for another Crafting for all Seasons Challenge and this week the theme is Texture.  We have two fabulous sponsors this time - Meljen's Designs who are offering our winner four digis of their choice and The Paper Shelter who are offering a $20 gift certificate, I just wish I could enter.

This is the card I made using the gorgeous Meljen's Designs image 'Cozy Winter Owl':

I just loved working with this image, I coloured it using my ProMarkers and then added some flower soft to his hat and the snow on the branch.  I then cut the image out before layering it onto an embossed die cut.  I layered the Dovecraft papers onto my new favourite Core'dinations - Tim Holtz Kraft-Core, I don't know how I managed before Core'dinations.

I used my edgeabilities to cut a border strip from the same Core'dinations card stock which I then embossed with a wood grain embossing folder and added some raffia and a charm.  A stamped sentiment, die cut snowflake and punched snowflake with gems in the centre finish the card.  Full details of everything I have used are listed below.

This is the inside of my card, I have decorated it to complement the front:

All I want for Christmas is .......

It's Thursday again and that means time for a new Willow Sketchie Challenge.  This week we have all used the 'All I Want For Christmas' image.  I used the ready coloured image again and just added some Flower Soft to Walter's hat and on the ground.

This week it is Anne-Marie's turn to host the challenge and this is the great sketch that she came up with

and this is the prize this week

I've been quite good again and followed the sketch closely.  I used NitWit Simple Joys papers and backed them onto core'dinations card stock, a simple ribbon and bow finish the card.

As usual I have decorated the inside of my card.
