Hello crafting friends
Today is once again a new challenge, the last for 2024, before we take a short Christmas break! What a year it's been for me, lots of life-changing moments and an awful lot of reflection!
I find crafting helps with my mental health and certainly when I need to reflect or back away from a situation for some distance and just stop thinking for an hour or two.
Anyway - back to the challenge. I made this for the challenge using Winnie and Penguin from the white Christmas collection. Our theme was a pastel rainbow, but I chose to just use a few of the colours.
The papers are offcuts from my scraps drawer, and the colours match perfectly with my image. Do you colour to match your paper, or colour an image and then find matching paper? I do both, but this time around I coloured first.
I used a Kraft card square blank and rounded the edges on two sides as a point of difference from a usual square card.
The image was coloured using Copic markers in pinks, blues and violets, and I used a white gel pen to add detail to her cheeks, and stickles for the snow and her wings.
I then fussy cut the image out and mounted it on top of the car using foam pads.
I'd like to enter this into:
Thanks so much for stopping by - there is more inspiration on my Instagram pages if you prefer this way. If you are here - I would you to leave me a comment.
See you again soon
