Good morning, dear Blogger friends, I hope you're all having a terrific Thursday! Amazingly, I have another crafty creation to share with you all today...I know, I know, I'm doing quite well this week! Despite the lovely Spring weather we've been having here in Wales this week, my make is on a Wintry theme with my first Christmas card of 2014!!
...This is Alannah & Snowball, another sweet digi that I chose from Kathryne's StampArt range at Whimsy Stamps, after my recent challenge win - isn't she a sweetie?! I decide to re-use the fab sketch that I had used for my
Love Owls card, but just turned it upside down! The only patterned paper I used is from First Edition Dreamcatcher and I thought looked a bit like snowflakes. The back panel is embossed with Cuttlebug's Snowflakes embossing folder...
...I coloured Alannah & Snowball with my Pro/Flexmarkers and here's the list of colours I used :
Skin - Blush, Dusky, Sunkissed Pink, Coral (my usual combo - if it ain't broke, don't fix it!)
Hair - Light Fawn, Champagne, Sandstone, Caramel
Jacket - Lavender, Orchid, Amethyst, Purple
Trousers - Muted Pink Tea Rose, Watermelon
Hat - Glacier, Cloud, Cadet Blue
Boots - Pastel Beige, Soft Khaki, Khaki
Snowball's scarf - Soft Aqua, Duck Egg, Surf Blue, Sea Mist
Snowball's Hat - Light Fawn, Pastel Beige, Soft Khaki, Khaki, Red, Crimson, Burgundy, Linen, Vanilla
Carrot nose - Pumpkin, Mandarin
...I added lots of glitter to the image and used my Marianne Snowflake die set to replace the circle on the sketch. I created a sentiment in PS which is Welsh for 'Season's Greetings' and added a printed insert inside. Of course, my little polka dot buttons made an appearance again and I also added a couple of extra fishtail flags with pearls and glitter edging.
I hope that we don't see any snow for a while (other than on cards, of course!) and that Spring is definitely here to stay! Thanks for taking the time to come and see me today and I love to read any comments you'd like to leave me! I'll be back soon with some more craftiness...enjoy the rest of the week!
