WOW with a touch of Blue

This is my second DT card for Crafting for all Seasons Challenge 15, as I said on my previous post the thought of making a card that was predominately white filled me with dread.  However, once I got over my panic I really enjoyed the challenge and will certainly be making some more WOW cards in the future, so if you look at the challenge and think I don't do WOW, I would say give it a go you might surprise yourself like I did.

We have two great sponsors again this week, Some Odd Girl who are providing 3 digital images for one lucky winner and Whoopsi Daisy who are offering 2 sheets of digital images that's 8 images in total to a second lucky winner.

This is the card I made using one of the Whoopsi Daisy images from Sheet 199, there are four fab images on each sheet, pop over and check them out they are gorgeous.

This time I've added just a touch of blue with my ProMarkers and some glitter to her wings.

White on White

This is the first of my DT cards for Crafting for all Seasons Challenge 15, I must admit I had a bit of a panic when I saw that the challenge this time was WOW (White on White), you might have noticed that I rather like my colour and the thought of making a card that was predominately white filled me with dread.  However, I must admit I rather enjoyed the challenge and will certainly be making some more WOW cards in the future, so give the challenge a go even if you don't normally do WOW, I'm sure you will enjoy it.

We have two great sponsors again this time, Some Odd Girl who are providing 3 digital images for one lucky winner and Whoopsi Daisy who are offering 2 sheets of digital images that's 8 images in total to a second lucky winner.

This is the card I made using the Some Odd Girl image Head in the Clouds Kaylee, you must pop over and check out these fab images.

I think I did quite well considering my love of colour,  just a few splashes of yellow apart from her face and hair which I coloured using ProMarkers.

Willow Sketchie Midway Reminder

As some of you know I had a table at a local Christmas Craft Fair yesterday, well this is it.

It was a long day, 10am to 4pm, but it was good.  Not as busy as previous years and people did not spend quite as much as normal but still quite a few cards were sold so there is now more room in my craft room and more money for crafting goodies.

There is still plenty of time to join this weeks challenge over at the Willow Sketchie Challenge blog.  This is the lovely sketch we have this week:

Pop over and have a go you could win a voucher to spend in the Willow Sketchie Shop.

Thank you for looking.

Let it Snow

This is a card I have made for this months Crafter's Companion Challenge - Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow.  Well there's certainly plenty of snow on my card, I got out my World of Beatrix Potter CD, one of the very first CDs I ever bought and used a set from the Decoupage Books section, yes back to my favourite decoupage.

I added some glitter to some of the snow drifts, trees, roofs and fence but it doesn't show up very well on the photo.  The sentiment is from one of my Polka Doodles CDs, sorry I can't remember which one.

The backing paper and insert are also from a Beatrix Potter CD.

Midway Reminder

These are a couple of items that I've made for the craft fair I'm selling at next weekend, the cute little tag is an image from the Walter and Winnie does Christmas CD available in the Willow Designs Shop, I might use the gift bag to package the handmade jewellery that I am selling alongside cards and other paper crafted items.

This is a closer view of the tag, I printed a ready coloured image and just added a little more colour to the stocking with ProMarkers, I then mounted it onto some red core'dinations card stock.  I also added some more white card stock to the back of the tag for the greeting to be written on.

I used the same core'dinations card stock to cut a little border for the gift bag, I then added a button with a seam binding bow to finish.

There is still time to join this weeks challenge over at the Willow Sketchie Challenge blog, it is my turn to host this week and this is my sketch:
