Different Colours for Christmas

Hi everyone,

I hope you're enjoying your weekend.

I managed to sneak in some crafting time and so enjoyed colouring up this cute image 

from Chrishanthi by ppinkydolls called I Love Christmas that can be found here.

I wanted to use up some very old Basic Grey plaid dp that I'd been hoarding.

 (I have a thing for plaid paper) so that is how I came up with the colours

...a little different but I know it will match some home decor of friends on my list.  

I pulled out some olive coloured vellum, cut some snowflakes and heat embossed

 an old circle sentiment from StampinUp with gold embossing powder before cutting it out.

Corrugated paper was also from my stash.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Birthday Card

Good day folks. Hope all is well with you and yours.

My card today is for one of our twin Grandsons.   I'm hoping he likes the image as much as I do. 

   Although I'm not happy with my colouring I do like this cas design.

 I coloured Kenny K's Col. Macallan  with copics and highlighted with pencils and gamsol.  

Once I use the gamsol I have to remind myself not to go back with my copics as this will ruin the nib!   

Now, how could you not love this face.....such a clown!  

 He wants you to think he is really tough...but that's not the case.  

 He dressed up as a pilot to make us think he flies in the air after that frisbee...but we all know better :)

Inside was finished using the same Basic Grey papers as the front.  

I did print a miniature Col. Macallan the bottom of the sentiment layer.

Spellbinders Sprockets die used on the front

Sentiment from my stash.
