Winter Wishes to You

Hello

We have a new challenge starting today over on the Sugar Nellie blog and the theme for this month is anything goes as long as you use an image from Funky Kits, which is the home of Sugar Nellie.

For my DT card I've used Warm Winter Wishes which you can find here.

Since we are half way through the year I thought I had better get some Christmas cards made because if the second half goes as quickly as the first half it will be Christmas before we know it.  I coloured the image using Inktense Pencils and added a mixture of fun flock/flower soft to the fir trim and bobble on his hat.  The snowflakes were die cut then covered with glitter and a rhinestone added to the centre.

Paper : Flurry (Echo Park)

Embellishments : Rhinestones

Cupcake Anyone?

Hello

I think the little lady in the image is having a difficult time choosing a cupcake!  The image is an older one by LOTV, not sure if its still available.  

The image has been coloured with Copic Pens and I've added Wink of Stella to the underskirt and to the icing on the cupcakes to give a little sparkle (apologies it is not clear in the photo - I blame the bad photographer!!)

Hot Chocolate and Cookies - Yum Yum

Hello

I've got another card featuring those cute mice from Di's Digi Stamps.  The image is called - Hot Chocolate and Cookies.    
  

I love this image - it might have something to do the the mug of hot chocolate and and cookies!  I'm one of these people who can drink hot chocolate all year round and not just during the winter. However there is nothing better than, on a bitterly cold day, to curl up on the sofa with my mug of chocolate to warm me up and who can says no to a chocolate cookie or two!!

The image has been coloured with Copic pens and I used liquid pearls for the cream to add some dimension.
