Blue and brown Christmas

Evening folks. 

I still can't get my head around these dark nights, they seem to eat up the daylight before you realize it.

Today's card is back to a theme I visited a few weeks ago, brown 'n' blue. 

The inspiration was a Copic challenge which I like to read.

I've gone for the lovely little dancers from LOTV again, this time they are in a very subtle palette of brown n blue. I used Copics to colour as follows:-

Skin - E000,00,11,R11

Hair - Y21,E41,42,47,E35

Dresses etc - B32, 34,39, 93,95,97,99, C0,03,05

Shadow - BG10

The papers are Frosty Christmas from LOTV and NitWits Promises edged in Frayed Burlap from Tim Holtz. The snowflake border is a Memory Box die. Ribbons, lace, etc. and buttons from the stash, (it doesn't appear to be getting any smaller!).

I shall enter it in the following challenges:-

Copic Marker Norge - Christmas in Brown n Blue

Crafty Ribbons - Anything goes with ribbon

ABC- Z for zebra or stripes

Well that's all for now, 'Strictly' is off to Blackpool tonight and I need to get the tea done before the glitter ball twirls.

Bye

Pink and sparkly

Good morning. The sun is shining brightly this morning, such a change after the last few days. I don't mind the cold so much when its sunny.

Just a quick post today as I should do some work after Ben's visit yesterday.

Quite a simple little card based on the Sketch Saturday challenge but the three little girls from LOTV are quite tricky to colour. I think I need to use my craft glasses a little more these days! Vanity usually stops me from using them. 

I used Copics to colour with added stickle sparkle on the ground and on the holly berries.The spotty dress was tidied  up using Cosmic Glitter white acrylic glue on the spots. The paper is from NitWits, Merry and Bright.

I shall enter it in the following challenges:-

The Ribbon Girl - LOTV add a little sparkle

Sketch Saturday - challenge 284

That's it for today, but thank you to those of you who have left such lovely comments. Bye
