Aurora Wings - Heartfelt Thanks
http://aurorawingschallenge.blogspot.co.nz/2014/10/challenge-8-heartfelt.html

I have used a paper from Rosie's Studio for this card.  I started off looking for a yellow one but as soon as I saw this one I knew it was purrfect (sorry couldn't resist!).  The image is from Aurora Wings and coloured with copic markers E53, E51. Y000, Y38.  The sentiment is from Melonheadz and I added some Stickles - Gold to the heart.  Die-cutting is with two Spellbinders dies from the same set.  I added some glitter domes which I coloured with copic marker E53 as well as some Stickles to the cat and bird.

Rainy Days

I remember loving the rain when I was younger - jumping in the puddles.  Probably never had an umbrella either as I loved the feel of the rain.  So I went with bright cheerful happy colours to reflect that memory

The Sailing Pineapple - Wording
http://sailingpineapple.blogspot.co.nz/2014/10/challenge-20-newsprintwordingsentimentq.html

I have used a paper from a paper pad.  The image is from Gerda Steiner Designs.  I matted with red cardstock from Rosie's Studio.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I also added some Glossy Accents to the puddle.  I added three blue oval shaped gemstones that have been sitting in my stash for a long time!

Peace and Joy

The focal point for this card is the sentiment so I decided to keep the background fairly simple.

I have used a Christmas paper from Kaisercraft.  The image is from Lacy Sunshine.  I coloured the image with copic markers and then added some faux stitching using a Distress Marker (Fired Brick).  I added some glitter and Glossy Accents to the background paper to give it a bit more life.  The sentiment is one I typed using one of the fonts on my computer

Mint Christmas

I picked up on the mint colours in the paper and ran with it for the rest of the card - I'm pleased with the result (sort of traditional but not quite!)

Christmas Giving

A stamped image rather than a digital image for a change!
