 Side view showing the decoupage with her wings

Oh she is a cutie so have to use lots of Pink but I think she has a twinkle in her eye and likes a little mischeif so have dressed her in blue.

I have coloured with my promarkers and added glitter to her wings.

Dies I have used are xcut marianne Cheerylyn

So what did I make for this challenge 

I just love this little boy that the wonderful Mo from digitalpenciltoo has. My nephews friends little brother is reaching this mile stone of ONE very soon and thought it would be perfect for him.

Image coloured with promarkers and kept it very CAS with just the addition of a touch of ribbon and some brown pearls. The sentiment has been computer generated. I matted the image with card matching the colours in the image 

Well I guess thats my card hope you like and it is now over to you.

Christmas Time At Craft

Good evening well nearly weekend and today being Thursday means time for a new challenge at CRAFT. Yes it is that time of the month when we celebrate CHRISTMAS. This time we would like to see Traditional Christmas

Sponsors for this challenge are

DRS Designs and Sweet n Sassy

So onto my card which I have used a image from DRS DESIGNS called 'Triple Tree with Snow'

and a slightly different angle hopefully showing all the glitter and texture 

I have used the stamp 3 times resizing 2 of them and layering them. I have used my distressed inks to create a scene and added lots of glitter and fluffy stuff for the snow. Silver ribbon, Silver and navy card to mat the image in a CAS style. Although this isnt Green and Red I always consider trees and snow as traditional cards

Well thats my card for your inspiration and my Christmas Box is starting to look good so hopefully this is a good start toward this years list.
