and the second is Tic, Tac, Toe.   Both can be found on the blog post.

I've used the bottom line of the Tic-Tac-Toe grid, Ribbon, Tree and Punch or Die.

My image is Pre-Coloured.  I was lucky enough to snag some of these

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.
