A little bit of Carfting

Wow I think I may have been carfting up a storm I have 4 cards to post.........

This first one is a stamp by LaBlanche coloured in Inks and aged,  I then added a simple double bow using seam binding and added some gold bells both from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Thats it apart from the background paper.  It just didn't seem to need anything else.


I would like to enter this in Wild Orchid Crafts "Santa" Challenge



This one is  a Sassy Cheryl image coloured in pencils except for the skin which is using copics.  The challenge stipulated using pink and also there was a picture that was to be used as inspiration.  Cheryl has a new range of super cute images that you must go check out.

This one I would like to enter into Sassy Cheryl's Challenge #106

Okay onto number 3 This one is a Mo Manning image and I made this as a thank you card for Abbeys dance teacher.  I was going for dramatic hence the colour combination of purple. orange and black. I'm actually really pleased with this one.  Again coloured in pencils.

I would like to enter this one into Mo's Challenge # 106
Last but by no means least is a little LOTV image again coloured in pencil with embellishments and ribbon and some bling added/  I used these little tear drop beads for leaves which I am liking a lot.  This one fits nicely into the lilac and green colour challenge at the Ribbon Girl.


This one I would like to enter into the Colour Challenge # 12 at The Ribbon Girl

I also made a couple of Christmas cards in an effort to be organised........yeah good luck with that.

Wow you have been busy. I love all of the cards. Your pencil coloring is beautiful. I agree with your choice for Copics on the skin. There just does not seem to be a good skin color pencil.

WOW Karen - think I need lessons from you on how to use embelishments, especially bowing in the dust when eying your use of ribbon.

Make that three "Wow's"! All so different and each beautiful in their own way. Skin tones are wonderful. Betting you know that number one really tugs at the old heartstrings here... That said, I must admit number three is a real eye catcher. Like your crystal leaves and that mask on number 3 is perfect - how did you do it?

Can't wait to see what's next.

Well, well, well Oliver. I turn my back for five minutes and wham bam, it's like a card fest! Love them all, but drawn to #1. Really fall for the vintage look everytime, but absolutely hopeless at it myself. Consider yourself the author of many an hour of embellishment angst in my future. Thanks for that.
