Happy Holidays

I haven't created with a Fabrika Fantasy image for a while so when I spotted a challenge sponsored by Fabrika Fantasy it was a great opportunity to rectify that!  I've ended up a bit last minute completing this card with only a couple of days left to run on the challenge.

Beccy's Place - Month of Holiday Cards
https://beccyschallenges.blogspot.com/2022/11/month-of-holiday-cards-challenge.html

I have used a paper from a paper pad by Rosie's Studio.  The image is from Fabrika Fantasy and the sentiment is from Create with TLC.  Colouring is with copic markers.

Happy Birthday

I have come across several card folds recently and attempting some of them.  This was surprisingly easy to follow so I can see me doing this one again (link to it is below).  It is an awkward size for posting so it will be one that I will wrap inside a gift.

Summer Forever

We are at the start of the second Anything Goes Challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends for August.  For this fortnight, we are sponsored by Fabrika Fantasy.

I have used an image from Fabrika Fantasy called Valentine's Seahorses.

I also used a digital paper from Lozzy.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I added some Glossy Accents to the water droplets and the eyes of the seahorses.  The Summer sentiment is from an ephemera pack and the Forever sentiment and the squares either side are from my Awaiting Crafting box (and I have absolutely no idea of the source as they have been languishing in the Awaiting Crafting box for a very long time).

I'm a bit later with my blog post for this one than I had aimed for.  I am trying to get the progressive challenges completed by mid-month but this one missed by four days.

I would like to enter:

The Outlawz Freebie Challenge - Red Panda
https://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/freebie-progressive-challenge/forum/topics/progressive-challenge-july-2021

I have used a digital paper by Lozzy.  The image is from Fabrika Fantasy and is called Red Panda.  I'm not sure of the source of the sentiment - I thought I did know but I can't find it in my files so I've either accidentally deleted it or I'm mistaken as to the source.

Colouring is with copic markers.  I also added some fabric ribbon and three flower foil stickers.

Ho Ho Ho Santa's on his way...

Wisdom from the Wise Dragon

 I haven't felt motivated to do much this week other than finish off a few cards that I had already started.  Last night I wasn't feeling quite as exhausted and was the only one who had logged in to our chat group so started this one using items from my Awaiting Crafting boxes.

Dragons

 We have had another day with a fair bit of rain.  It was okay this morning but the rain arrived this afternoon so time for some more crafting.  This is the card I made this afternoon:

http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/wednesday-sketch/forum/topics/wednesday-sketch-challenge-oct-28-till-nov-10

I have used an image from Fabrika Fantasy and a sentiment from Create with TLC.  I added them to the card blank along with a strip of purple ribbon and some lace.  I then cut a piece of cardstock to fit over the piece I had already assembled (with the centre cut out so you could see the lower layer of course!)  Colouring is with copic markers and Wink of Stella.

Thank You

 One of my two favourite colours is yellow - the other is orange.  I like sunny happy colours.  When I saw a challenge based on monochromatic yellow, I had to join in - even when it is last minute.

I have used an image from Fabrika Fantasy called Little Witch.

I also used a digital paper from Bearly Mine Designs.  The sentiment is from Ginger's House and is one I have at times been able to relate to!  I can remember leaving the cobwebs in September one year as I thought that they would be great for Halloween! Colouring is with copic markers.  I also used some black mesh ribbon and some black glittery Halloween themed words.
