Happy New Year - from our family to yours.

Last day of the year - where has 2018 gone?

This month over at Die Cut Divas we have been celebrating Winter /Winter Holidays with

I've finished the year with a New Year's card - with a winter theme

I love these little winter Polar Bears from Di's Digi... so sweet.  I started by adding the image to my into a Word document and removed the background. I then added a precoloured background (a free download from a magazine) and cropped it to fit behind my bears.  I printed this onto some Bristol paper.  I used Zig Clean Clear markers to colour up the image, using Di's image as inspiration.  Then it was die cut with a Lil'Inkers die.  The sentiment is from a Stamp and Die set I recently purchased.  A bit of stamp surgery was required to get it to fit on my card.  I finished with some Gel pen dots for snow.

Wishing you all a Happy  and Prosperous New Year. 

Christmas Owls

Merry Christmas my friends.... It's Christmas Day and it's my turn to share my card for Die Cut Divas.  Our sponsor this month is

I have used Christmas Owls to make a Winter card.

I printed the image onto some Mi Tentes paper and used my Prismacolor pencils to colour.  I die cut with a Spellbinders oval die and layered onto a Scallop die cut.  The white panel is embossed with a plaid folder.    I didn't add any sentiment at this point... will put something inside.

Hoping you all have a great Holiday Season  and Blessing to you all.

Bunnies for Easter

Easter is coming up quickly and I needed to get my Easter card for Archie into the post ASAP. 

I chose to use a digi stamp from Di's Digis.  It is adorable...

I used my Prismacolor pencils to colour the image and cut it out with my ScanNCut.  I made the fur on the bunny using the technique I learnt at Kit and Clowder.  

My second bunny card uses a digi stamp by From my Heart ( I can no longer find this company on the internet).  I picked up this digi about 2 years ago.  

  I printed the image out onto some cartridge paper and used my pencils to colour.

I am entering this into the challenge at Creative With Stamps.  I've already entered the first one there. 

Thanks for stopping by.  I appreciate your visits.

A little Tea Mouse

Hi  It's my day to share at Die Cut Divas.  Our sponsor is

and I've used a cute little mouse in a tea cup for my card today

I'm taking some classes in using my Prismacolor pencils so I used them today on my little Mouse.  Still lots of practice required. 

Here is the WIP for my January class

I can highly recommend the Kit and Clowder classes - either the one off classes or the monthly classes (that's what I'm doing)

And be sure to join us at Die Cut Divas this month as well.
