Crafter's cafe Challenge - Humorous, 15th June, 2023

 Here is my card for The Crafter's Cafe challenge, and image called Banksie Claus from Dr Digi who is a sponsor for the June/July challenge.  The other sponsor is My Besties.

Click on the names of the sponsors to check out their individual images.  Something for everyone.

I've been playing around with different things lately.  For this card, I printed the card base digitally, ran it through an embosser and used pencils to colour the grouting.

Hohoh has also been coloured with coloured pencils, Santa has been fussy cut and coloured with copic pens.  Bit of an oopsie for me, I forgot to put on the glitter and liquid pearls for his hair and the pom pom on his hat, before I took the picture, then as things go, the weather turned.  Needless to say he will be glittered up before I post the card.

Pearly Sparkles - May 2023

This month's theme at Pearly Sparkles is Anything Goes but a Card. I decided to do a mini Junk Journal (size is 2.5 x 3.5 inches) B is for....

I started out doing a blue journal, but some other colours did creep in, then I though al lot of Bs in the jounral so changed it to a B for journal.

The journal has 36 pages and all pages lie flat when open.  Here is the cover and a small example of the pages.

A Place to Start - - 1st May, 2023

At a Place to start the theme is Anything goes + 1 and out sponsor is  Mirtillamente.

I chose Get Well Soon for my card, coloured with copic pens and diecut. 

After doing this for  many years, I had  a light bulb moment.  I have started scanning my dies, then I can pull them up on the computer and size an image perfectly to fit the space.

My added plus is the ribbon.
