Shine Bright

I'm running a bit behind schedule today - this challenge started a few hours ago.  For this challenge, at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, we are sponsored by Polkadoodles.  As per usual, the theme is Anything Goes.


I have used an image by Polkadoodles called Fantasy Moon.


I also used a digital paper from PixelScrapper.  Colouring is with watercolour pencils.  I also added a digital sentiment.

Sunflower

I'm hoping for some sunshine today as it has been several days of rain.  It isn't quite sunrise at the time I'm typing this so I'm not sure what sort of day we are in for.

Birthday

It is the start of March - and the start of the latest challenge at Incy Wincy Designs.  The themes for March are Birthday and/or Funny/Humourous.

I struggle with humourous cards so opted for the Birthday option:

I have used a digital paper from Far Far Hill.  The image is from The East Wind and the sentiment is a clear stamp (from an old magazine I think).  Colouring is with copic markers.  I also dotted around some pearls.

With All Good Wishes for Christmas and the New Year

This is another fold that I haven't tried before.  It was quite fun to do so I'm sure that I'll use it again, particularly as it doesn't use 12 x 12 cardstock.

I followed a tutorial for a Four Flap Display Fold Card by Iced Images.

So Sweet

 When I looked at this image, I thought immediately of a lattice pie so I found a digital paper and a sentiment that matched the theme.
