As always we have two themes you can choose from, the first being a Sketch

before the Pollycraft shop closed a few years ago.  She is called Pixie Holly.

The trees are cut using MB Magnificent Pine die
Sentiment is from LOTV stamped with VersaMark Red ink
Red ribbon from a box of chocolates.

Ribbon or Lace

Hi everyone,

I've used some fall colours on my card today for
Fab'n'Funky Challenge #319 
hosted by our lovely Catherine with a theme of "Lace and/or Ribbon".  

This is one of my favourite creations.  I just loved this Aurora Wings image that I
was fortunate enough to win on a challenge - Thank You Mitzi.
I thought she deserved a little Copic ombre colouring.
I coloured this during our stay in Muskoka this summer. Each night we had  visits from
two barred owls, one of which we managed to capture on camera,
 that I'll show you a little later in the post if you hang with me.




We have the wonderful Live & Love Crafts sponsoring us this week
with a prize of £10  to spend in the shop. 
 
If you are still with me...here is the picture of our nightly visitor.  I thought
it was so cool ..he was doing what owls do best...turn for the camera.


I would like to enter the following challenges:
Artistic Inspirations Challenge #163 
Craft Your Passion Challenge #330
Lemon Shortbread Challenge #24
Make My Monday Challenge #30 
Pile it On Challenge #117
Sunny Day Crafting #15
