Christmas Kittens - Pink Gem Designs

 Good evening have you all had a good day hope so. 

I see we are due some bad rain & wind her in the Uk.

Well I guess a few days of warmth was nice.

Also are you going to be watching the football Sunday. I do hope they win. 

My nephews know the family well as they went to same schools

Well I have been making some more Christmas cards and this time I have used a lovely set called

Christmas kittens from Pink Gem Designs

I am using the black & white digital but there is a Coloured set for those extra quick cards

Close up of each of the cards

I have coloured the images with my Markers

Used some old DP matted on Silver Mirri

Die cut a circle snowflake boarder and embossed the inner circle with a snowflake folder.

I coloured the circle with Brilliance ink pad

sentiments come with the set and matted these with mirri card

Well that's another little set for my collection 

maybe Rory will pinch these too. He enjoyed his little induction just did a couple of hours and is going again on Wednesday but this time is staying for lunch and then coming home.

they said he made friends easy and even when a little autistic boy was having a moment struggling with something he went quietly over to him and said are you ok. They seem impressed he was in tuned.

He does have a friend at play group who is the same and refuses to come in the room till she sees him.

They seem to just get along and accept that we are all different in our own way.

I would like to enter these into the following challenges

Passion For markers - Summer in Full Bloom

 Good evening here with my DT card for 

PASSION FOR MARKERS

this weeks new challenge is

SUMMER IN FULL BLOOM

we are kindly sponsored by

Alex Syberia Designs 

For my card I am using the digital image

‘hello summer

I printed this off to a A" size and added a gold frame. 

Image coloured with my markers

some brown glitter added to the centre of the flower

Mounted onto some gold glitter card.

The sentiment is a die from Time For Tea and a yellow pearl to finish

The colours taken from a Sunflower

A neighbour gave my Grandson 2 Sunflowers for his 2nd Birthday so we have 2 fabulous Sunflowers that are about 4 foot tall in my front. He had kept them well watered when we had the hot weather and even went and watered the neighbours when he was on holiday.

i have to say that we have the largest heads out of all of them. Although they seems to be fading fast but there are several large buds coming off the sides. Unsure what to do now. So anyone that knows please lease a comment and we can sort so they produce lovely flowers

Well we cant wait for you to come and join in our challenge we would love to see what Summer flowers your colouring. Are they part of your image or are the the main image

Lots of inspiration on the blog so pop along and check them out
