Story Teller

Hello

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

For my DT card I've used Story Teller which you can find here.  I usually use a 6" x 6" card base, but for this card I've used a 7" x 7" card base for a change.  I quite like the result and will have to make more.

I coloured the image with Copic pens then cut her out and positioned her, slightly raised, in the bottom left corner.  Her wings have been given a generous coating of glitter (not very visible in the photo - sorry!). 

Image : Story Teller (Funky Kits)

Medium : Copic Pens; Opaque White Paint (for the Toad Stools); Crystal Transparent Glitter (for her Wings)

Paper : Timeless Victorian (LOTV)

Sentiment : Set 98 - Sketchy Wishes (LOTV)

Dies : Joy Die (6002/0480); Corner Bow Die (Memory Box)

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)
