Kitty Love

I started off with an inspiration picture from CRAFT challenge and thought of a kitty with another animal (which ended up being a fish!).  I then took inspiration from the hearts in the image and turned this into a Valentines card!

I have used a paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft.  The image is from Bugaboo Stamps and is coloured with copic markers to match the background paper.  I added some washi tape and a heart die cut from red cardstock using a Marianne's die.

Love is in the Air

I went with a black white and red colour scheme for this card with red being the prominent colour.

I have used a paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft called "Sandy Toes".  I've ended up buying 3 of these pads as I make so many aquatic themed cards!  Some of the circles have also been cut from offcuts of papers from that same pad.  The image is from Crafty Sentiments and coloured with copic markers E00, E35, E31, B05, B93, R46, R35, G14.  I also added a sentiment from the paper pad, some red and white bakers twine and a puffy heart sticker from Pebbles.

Snowman Love

I've combined a snowman, snowflakes and a heart - because this snowman loves the snowflakes and hot cocoa!

I have used two papers from a silver themed Christmas paper pad by Craft Smith.  The image is from From The Heart Stamps and is coloured with copic markers and then glittered with Stickles - Diamond.  I die-cut a heart using some glitter cardstock from American Crafts and a die from Mariannes.  I used the same glitter cardstock to mat the image.

Here  is the sketch and twist that I followed:

Sparkly Christmas

I kept this image fairly minimal with the colours so the snow can really sparkle.
