Season's Greetings

This week at CHNC, the optional twist is "Something beginning with S".  I have a few S words - Santa, summer, sand, sun, stars and even the sentiment starts with S.

Living in the Southern Hemisphere, this is the type of weather that Santa would get when he comes visiting on December 25th.

I have used an image from Diane's Digital Designs and a sentiment from Desert Diva.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I also added some metallic stars.

I would like to enter:

Butterfly

 I kept putting off attempting this fold as it looked like it was difficult.  I finally decided to attempt it today - and found it was way easier than I thought it was going to be.

I would like to enter:

Butterfly Challenge - A is for..
https://butterflyspotchallenge.blogspot.com/2022/05/170-spin-butterfly-wheel-with-for-arrow.html

I have used all elements from the butterfly wheel.  The colours are used on the cardstock, two digital papers and the butterfly stickers.

The two digital papers are from Lozzy.  The image is from Diane's Digital Design.  Colouring is with copic markers.

Thanks

Robyn's Fetish - Thanksgiving
http://robynsfetishchallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/challenge-184-thanksgiving-1132013.html

I have used some papers from a Kaisercraft paper pad matted with orange cardstock to create the background.  The lovely typewriter image is from Diane's Digital Designs and I added a sentiment from Paper Smooches to the typing paper!  The orange grosgrain ribbon is from American Crafts.  The pennant is a Spellbinders die and the flower is a Marianne's die - both of these have been cut from craft felt.  I also embellished them with some small pearls.

Having an image that could be coloured in such a way that embellishments weren't necessary worked well for several of these challenges!

I have used a green card blank this time.  The image is from Diane's Digital Designs.  I enlarged it so that it covered most of the card front.  Colouring is with copic markers with the addition of Stickles and Glossy Accents to give the card some texture.
