A Special Christmas Card

There is a little boy in Maine who has terminal cancer - he is 9 years old and his wish is to receive handmade Christmas cards - he may not see Christmas so everyone is sending him cards now; I was just so touched by this story I had to send a card!
I used this fabulous image that I received from Kit and Clowder, I am told it is drawn by Kit and Clowder and I absolutely love it, I wanted a simple card suitable for a child that wouldn't cost an arm and leg to post from UK.
I coloured the image with Prismacolor pencils and added some lavender Stickles to the stars for a little sparkle.
I was please with the finished card and hope the little boy will like it too!

Colour Challenge

We have a new colour challenge started today at the Outlawz and this week we have an inspirational challenge chosen by Kimberly -isn't this just perfect!

I could just see me sat on those benches enjoying the beautiful colour and crisp air so this is what I came up with!

I would love to see you come and join us!

Christmas ....

I have been playing with this digi for quite a while and I finally got it coloured up! I coloured the image with Prismacolor pencils then mounted it on a deep purple pearlised card and made a frame of snowflakes. I am please with how it turned out and may well colour this one again - it is such an adorable image!

Festive Fridays

We have another challenge running at the Outlawz Festive Fridays, we give you four fun themes to choose from and there's always a Christmas theme!
So this week I combined two of the themes - bare trees and Christmas - here's what I made

Its a shame the glitter doesn't show on the trees but they are cut from glitter card!

Come on over and join in the fun!

Outlawz Progressive Challenge

OMGoodness - time flies! It seems yesterday that I was posting the October challenge and here we are into November!!
Last month we had the wonderful General Store from Createful Heart as our progressive image and this month we have an amazing image from our very own Shell Becker, Harvest Night.
I had so much fun colouring this image, I used my Polychromos pencils with a touch of white gel pen!

Such an amazing image and I really hope I did it justice!

If you want to join our progressive challenge come over to the Outlawz and check out the challenge page that has all the information you need to get started.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Anything Goes at Eclectic Ellapu!

Yes the new challenge has started and it is "Anything Goes" - everyone loves this one!
So for my project I have made a mixed media picture frame. I love to make these jig saw puzzle frames as you can put so much detail in each piece and use so many mediums and techniques.
The frame measures 8" x 8" and is a nice box frame that I found in Wilco.

I used a wide range of paints, mica's and relief pastes to create this - I also added a few charms and pretty's here and there!

I hope you like my frame and I also hope you will come over to Eclectic Ellapu and show us your work - we love to see what you make and the more eclectic the better!!!

See you there!
