Sweet Sketch Wednesday 136-73/Polka Doodles Challenge

Here is my card which I have made for the Sweet Sketch Wednesday Challenge 136-73 . I am also entering the card into the Polka Doodles challenge , which this week, had a theme of Retro/vintage. I have gone for a vintage look to my card with a few muted pastels for the icing on the cake! I have coloured the image with a mixture of distress inks, copic markers and aquatone pencils. I have used some vintage looking DCWV papers, adding some textured card and flowers and brads from stash.

Christmas Card

It has been a while since I have added anything. I have made this christmas card for a friend, and it is the first card of this type that I have made. I have used some old christmas paper from stash to decorate the panels, with some glitter borders, and some festive Forever Friends stickers. I would welcome any comments.

Birthday Card - Fizzy Moon

Well, it has been a difficult year for crafy mojo. I haven't made anything in a while. I had a birthday card to make and made this. The adorable image is a Fizzy Moon acrylic stamp, which I have coloured using copic markers. I have mounted on contrasting cards and used some Cosmo Cricket Mini Deck Salt air paper. I have added some ribbons and flowers to embellish. I have another pressing calling of knitting and crochet just now, but, looking forward to getting into the craft room a bit more often.

Something Different!

Thought I would log on with a few pictures of what has been keeping me busy recently. I have been crocheting quite a bit!
The robin and the hanging christmas wreath decorations can be found on this wonderful blog and the crochet cushion is many large and small sunflower motifs, originally from Inside Crochet magazine. Hope you like my efforts, I still need to add some bling to the christmas wreaths, and the robin pattern was originally called
The Love Nest but I just did the robin and made him into a hanging decoration!
