*** One for the Boys***

Good morning everyone,

Today starts a new challenge at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #548

where our lovely Buffy has chosen the theme "Masculine"

After clearing out a lot of my stash earlier this year I convinced myself I did not need any more craft goodies and held off for almost 3 months...but oh..when I saw these cute panda's at Whimsy I broke down.  I have used it here for a masculine card but can see many uses for this trio.  The paper is a very old Basic Grey boxer that I've been hoarding. Fingers shook on first cut into the 12x12 sheet. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

A Gem of a Challenge Wk 7
Dare to B Artsy Challenge - March
Dragonfly Dreams Challenge - March
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge #178
Use Your Stuff #444

Thank you so much for visiting today.  
Stop by the blog and see the fabulous inspiration from my team mates and play along
...we'd love to see you.

Hugs, Pat K xx

Rain for us to today making it the perfect time to curl up with a good book.     

 I'm here to tell you that today starts a new challenge at

****Heartfelt***

 Hello everyone,

Today starts a new Challenge at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #547

hosted by our lovely N-Eva

with a theme of "Hand Coloured Image"

I have chosen to colour with copics and pencils a sunflower digital image created by
Poppy Power by Marcella Hawley called "Sunflower Power".   This very thoughtful designer created this image to help the wonderful people of Ukraine.  All proceeds go toward "Sunflowers for Peace".  I purchased the Sunflower Peace set separately and this image was free.

For me like many others Ukraine is never far from my thoughts. 

I did make a bit of a mess when adding the background.  I fussy cut the image on scrap paper and masked onto the flowers.  I think it might be my choice of ink that I'm not pleased with.  Will have to do some research to perfect this technique.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

A Place to Start Challenge - 032022
Ike's World Challenge #154
Incy Wincy Designs Challenge - Mar 
Through The Craft Room Door - Mar 15

Thanks for visiting today.

Hope you can play along with us..

hugs,
