Honey Monster Take 2

When I made my GDT card for the Monochrome Challenge over at the House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge, there is still plenty of time to enter by the way, I made two cards - the one that is on the challenge blog and this one.

If you have seen the one on the challenge blog you will know how very different they are.

I have coloured my Gruffie image with ProMarkers again and the papers are from Pink Petticoat - just a few more this time, I have also used the same Fiskars edge punch.  The edges of the image and papers have all been inked with distress ink and the banners were cut by hand, the button and twine are from my stash.

Homemade Tree

This is the card I have made for this weeks CD Sunday Challenge - Snow People.  As soon as I saw the theme I knew I was going to use my Ooh La La Christmas Presence CD, there are so many fabulous snowman images on this CD.

The image is called Homemade Tree, I just love these whimsical images, and the papers are Pink Petticoat.  I punched a border and then promptly covered it up with the image and sentiment, which is a LOTV stamp, some card candy and a button and twine complete my card.
