Some Krafty colouring

Hello lovely people,

Happy Thursday! That must mean it's time for another challenge at Crafty Little Fairies and this week our theme is...

CHRISTMAS IN NOVEMBER!

We are sponsored by the wonderful Crafty Ribbons this week with a £10 voucher to spend :-)

Since you insist then here's another Christmas card...

I set myself a little challenge with this one to do some colouring on Kraft; not something I do very often but I do think it looks effective.  I have also come over all CAS and didn't even stitch on my card - shock horror!

I added a little Stardust Stickles to the scarf and snow and some white flock to the fluffy ends of the scarf.

I played around for quite a while before coming up with an arrangement that I liked for the little fishtails - CAS really isn't always simple to make is it?!

For Dad

Hello lovely people,

As this (hopefully) posts I will be just coming back from my holiday, probably a little bit heavier than when I went!  It depends if I managed to do enough walking to cancel out the cream teas and puddings!

Since it is Saturday that means time for a new challenge at Totally Gorjuss and this week our theme is 'For Dad' which is, of course, timed perfectly to coincide with Fathers' Day on Sunday.

I came over all CAS this week and made this super quick design to send to both my Dad and my Father-in-law.

I fell in love with this Tiddly Inks image as soon as I saw it and knew straight away that I wanted to print it onto Kraft card - the letters were added in Paint Shop Pro before printing.  A little doodling round the edges, a dash of twine and it was all done in record time - woohoo!

Copic colours;

Birds: B01/02 & B05/06

Paper: E40/41

This week we are sponsored by Heather's Hobbie Haven so I do hope you can join in our challenge for a chance to win.  If you need some more inspiration pop over to Totally Gorjuss to see what my teamies have created.

Thanks for visiting,

Hugs,
Kat xx
