Postbox X-Mas

 



So As You Like It's current challenge is Favourites, Gingham or Florals (and why) which was incredibly easy for me to answer, Gingham. I am not a girly girl, so I've never been into florals over much. Gingham, checkered and plaids however, now that's my jam. I own so many gingham and plaid shirts, I'm not even kidding. My basic every day uniform is some variation of jeans, tee and either a shirt or hoodie, depending on how cold it is and all my shirts are gingham or plaid. 

I used a Pollycraft digi, coloured with my promarkers. Paper from dovecrafts 'krafty christmas' pack and a bit of ribbon from my stash. A few gems and the holly embellishment to finish.

    An adorable card. Gingham gives Christmas cards a very homely look. Thanks for joining AYLI challenge. Elaine

    This is such a beautiful Christmas card. I can imagine a child sending a letter to Santa Claus. Your coloring is really perfect and the implementation of the sketch is so successful. I also love the papers.
    Thank you for presenting this cute card at the recent Everybody Art Challenge.

Have A Great Day

How cute is this wee pupper from digi doodle shop. I've had him cut out waiting for me to decide what to do with him for aaaaages! I finally coloured him with my promarkers and decided on this side stepper card. The various elements were cut on my cameo. The paper is from the Nit Wit Paws-ativity collection. I stamped and cut the sentiment by hand and added it to the tree with a bit of twine, to make it look kinda like a swing (and it does swing, side to side at least, lol).

Meowy Christmas Kitty

  I picked this from All Dressed Up after winning two of their beautiful images from an Outlawz challenge. Friends of mine just got a new kitten and this will be perfect for them for xmas. I coloured the image with my promarkers and used papers from hobbycrafts traditional chrismtas pack. The stocking embellishment came from the matching embellishment set. The sentiment was stamped from a set I was given a while ago.

A couple of men's cards...

This first one was made for my brother in law, who is a keen bowler. My sister, spends her summers complaining she's a bowls widow normally - this year she might just wish she was, lol! I got the fab image from Polkadoodles, coloured with my promarkers. The paper is from Jen Hadfield, on a kraft card base. Challenges: - A Bit More Time To Craft Challenge - #114, Anything Goes - Daisy Chain Challenge - #40, Birthday This one could do for several of my friends, I have a lot of gamers in my life, not sure how that happened, as until a few years ago I'd never owned a gaming system (yes I now own a PS3 and 4). I cut the die on my silhouette and the papers came from papermania's happy days pack. A bit of blue ribbon from my stash and a sentiment stamp from teddy bo & co, coloured in the buttons with promarkers just to round it off.
