Fab'n'Funky Challenge #477

where our host Susan has chosen the theme....Spots or Dots

I so enjoyed colouring this fun image by Dustin Pike of Whimsy Stamps.

This was a generous freebie available on FB...thank you so much.

I had to chuckle when I first saw this cute dragon called TP Dudley

...so appropriate for the times we are living in.

The gorgeous green paper is StampinUp Lemon Lime Twist and the ribbon is an oldie from my stash.

Blue Bird in Winter Card

Hi everyone,

I hope you're enjoying the weekend.

I joined the crowds at the mall today to take advantage of the black friday sales

 going on and came home with a few more gifts to put under the tree.

Still such a long way to go though!

I thought I would post a card I made last week using Whimsy Stamps

 Cardinal in Winter stamp from the Crissy Armstrong Collection.  

So out came the Memento Ink...and my copics.

Now as the name of the stamp implies, this is a cardinal

...but I wanted to make him a bluebird and just love how he turned out.   

The expression on his face is so cute..... he is really pleased with himself

..all bundled up for winter.

Finished inside as well.

DP is from LOTV Frosty Christmas pad

MB Pine Needle die

Silver paper and ribbon from my stash

SB Ribbon tag, computer generated sentiment

If time permits I think I'll colour up this cutie again but as a cardinal.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

1. Brown Sugar Challenge #122 - Anything Goes
2. Completely Christmas #40 - Anything Goes with a twist, S  (snow, silver)
3. Crafty Catz Challenge - Anything Goes

Happy Monday everyone,  I hope you all had a good weekend and are recharged for the week ahead.

Today starts a new challenge at Cards for Men and the theme is "String it up".  

Here is my card share for the challenge.  If truth be told, this is my favourite card style and one I go back to often.....not quite CAS but it lets the image speak without too many embellishments. I've paper pieced the shirt and love my Xyron for gluing it on.

Our wonderful sponsor this week is Digital Delights who have a fabulous prize for the winner.
