Blues

Good morning to you out there in blog land, hope your week is going well!  Today sees the start of a new challenge at Crafty Sentiments and the theme for this week's challenge is BLUES!  We want to see your creations which are predominantly blue.  Here is mine:


I have used the delightful Crafty Sentiments stamp Christmas Rush I think she is one of my favourites!  I have coloured her with Copics and added some Stardust Stickles.  The paper is by Pink Petticoat.   I have run the Coredinations through a snowflake Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and then sanded it so the core shows through. Sentiment is LOTV. The snowflake banner is Whiff of Joy and the ribbon and bell are from The Ribbon Girl.

We have a fabulous prize for the lucky winner this week:


Please go over to Crafty Sentiments Challenge to see what the rest of the DT have done there are some fabulous projects - lots of inspiration!

I would like to enter the following challenges:

The Ribbon Girl - Add Sparkle
2 Sisters - Christmas Sparkle
Crafty Calendar - All Things Christmas
Sweet Stampin' - Christmas is Coming
A Creative Romance - Winter Blues
Jingle Belles - Holiday Traditions (Going to get the Christmas Tree which always signaled the start of Christmas celebrations)

Dave and I are off out today looking for carpets and curtains for the lounge and hall but I am hoping to fit a bit of crafty time in too! Thank you so much for looking today I really appreciate it and of course any comments you can leave are really appreciated! See you tomorrow, I hope! Take care xx

Hi Suzie,

Beautiful card, love the image too. Great colouring and composition. Love the co-ordinations card.

Thank you for your comment, I have always loved Thomas Kinkade because of how he paints the lights just as you said they do remind you of those images that you get lights behind. I noticed in the Range the other week they had a few Thomas KInkade Tapestries with the lights shining in certain areas, they were quite nice if you like that sort of thing.

Love & Hugs
