Totally Papercrafts Challenge

Its our last Totally papercrafts challenge for 2012 - we are having a wee break to enjoy Christmas, but will be back in the New Year with a bigger team and some fab challenges for you.
This week's theme is a sketch from Lisa ...

 Having coloured the image in using my pens, I used my viva decor pen to add the snow, and added a bit of vintage photo DI to the edge of the image.  I stamped the sentiment up - and that was that - I didn't feel the need for embellishments, as it is such a fab sketch on its own.

Supplies
 Sentiment: LOTV Grungy Christmas messages
Colouring medium:promarkers
Papers: Bo Bunny Snowflake
Embellishments: none (eek!!)
Tools: 

 Challenges:
Papertake Weekly - snow white
Joanna Sheen- with love at Christmas 
Crafty Boots - Christmas
Cupcake Craft - Merry Christmas
Forever Friends - Christmas
Incy Wincy - Christmas with snowflakes
Songbird - Merry Christmas
CRAFT - Christmas
Christmas at Sweet Stampin' - anything goes
I love Promarkers - one for the boys
Stampavie and More - Christmas
Just Add Ink - Christmas

I did another card using the same sketch - not as happy with the shading on this one, but i have had a stinking cold and chest infection so colouring hurts!!  I used this gorgeous Crafty Sentiments image and coloured her using my pens, before using a viva decor pen to create bubbles. I made holes and faux stitched round the dp - I was going to use my sewing machine but it decided to break on me!! I die cut some flowers, added some pearls and some ribbon.  Finally a sentiment.

Supplies:
Sentiment:  Craftwork cards
Colouring medium: promarkers
Papers: MME
Embellishments:  die cut flowers, ribbon, pearls,
Tools: Memory box flower die

Challenges:
Sweet Stampin' - dies or punches
Love to Create - anything goes
Bearly Mine - anything goes
Everybody Art - anything goes

Gorgeous cards.

Great minds and all that. That's the Dan image I was going to use before I had a brain freeze and used a LOTV image but that's the paper I was going to use too...... spooky ;)

Hope you're having a lovely day.
