Golden Christmas

This didn't really start out as being a gold themed card - it just developed from the paper I chose to use.

I have used a patterned kraft paper from Rosie's Studio.  The image is from Morgan's Art World and is coloured using copic markers and Kindy Glitz.  I added some faux stitching using Distress Marker Festive Berries and added some clear button stickers.

Woodland Creatures

It is time for a new challenge at Scribbles Designs - and this month the theme is Woodland Creatures.   One of my favourite woodland creatures is the fox.  I have used an image from Scribbles Designs called Foxy Peek a Boo and I teamed that with a sentiment also from Scribbles Designs called Be Who You Are Quote.

I have also used a hessian look paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft.  I then used a strip of hessian across the card.  I also used an autumn oak leaf brad and some tiny pearls.  Colouring is with copic markers.

Thanks So Much

I had fun making the background.  I bought one of the Distress Marker Spritzers on sale and had fun playing with it to create this background.

Fall Pears

I don't know if it is the case in other countries but here it is usual to be picking pears in autumn (fall).  So, I tend to relate this image to that season - and have coloured it accordingly.
