Is Christmas over yet?

Hello everyone! Well I am back (yes because I have had a few days offline lol), with a new laptop since the old one died on Christmas Day... so I need to catch up a little and post a few things I have not been able to post before. So let's pretend Christmas is still here, ok:)?

Coucou! Et bien je suis de retour après une courte absence liée à des problèmes d'ordinateur, alors faisons comme si c'était encore Noël et que je pouvais publier ce que j'étais censée publier avant:)...

Today's card is my second take on using pastel pencils and I have used a Little Miss Muffet image from a range I absolutely love - the Polka Dot Pals! Meet Neva...

Still time for more Christmas Wishes ;)

Hello everyone! I know it's not Sunday but I am sharing the card I made for Quixotic Paperie to wish you all a Merry Christmas! For sweet Christmas Wishes, I am joined by two cuties by The Greeting Farm...

I used Oliver and Amelia from the Surprise Stamp Set, stamped them onto Make It Colour Blending Card and coloured them with Copics. I cut them out and put them on 3D foam squares. The sentiment is from another set by The Greeting Farm called Sparkling Season - I stamped it twice to put the elements of the banner on foam squares as well for a bit of dimension. 

Challenges I am entering:

Aud Sentiments - Christmas 

Top tip Tuesday - Christmas 

Crafty Little Fairies - Anything Goes

Cute Card Thursday - Celebrations

Farm Fresh Friday - Christmas Wish (gifts)

Thank you very much for your visit and thank you also for all your support! Happy Holidays! 

Hugs,

Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone! Merry Christmas!!! I'm back with the card I made for Copic Marker Europe, a very CAS Christmas card using an image by Crissy Armstrong I fell in love at first sight with, a very long time ago. The colouring is totally inspired by and based on the watercoloured image she did which impressed me so much, more than I can say...

So, as I was saying, the image is a Whimsy Stamps digi by Crissy Armstrong called Touched By Love. I coloured it all with Copics and really could not add anything else to it, I think this image is gorgeous by itself and does not require a sentiment. The image is available as a digi HERE, or as a gorgeous topper coloured by Crissy HERE.

Background: B41, 45, BV13, 17

Ground and straw: E50, 53, 55, 57, Y26 (and a bit of metallic gold pen)

Make It Colourful - Red and Green/ Texture

Hello everyone! I'm back with a 100% Copic card and to remind you of the challenge at Make It Colourful - the easy challenge is "Red And Green", and if you want to challenge yourself, the hard challenge is "Texture - add texture with your colouring medium". The prize is a $15 Gift Voucher  to the store for each challenge:)

Bonjour à tous! Me revoilà avec une petite carte 100% Copic et pour vous parler du challenge actuel de Make It Colourful - challenge facile "Rouge et Vert", et si vous le souhaitez vous pouvez participer aussi au challenge difficile "Texture - rendez la texture avec votre coloriage". A gagner pour chacun des deux challenges: un bon d'achat Make It Crafty d'une valeur de $15!

I made my scene with three Make It Crafty digis - Snowball Fight, Winter Fence, Pine Trees - merged in Word and printed onto Make It Colour Blending Card. I coloured it with Copics and added a CC Designs sentiment from the Freezin' Season set. I tried to give texture to the little girl's hood and hair by using flicking motions without blending, to the pine trees by making little dots, to the wood simply by recreating the veins of the wood and to snow. 

J'ai créé ma scène avec trois digis Make It Crafty, Snowball Fight, Winter Fence, Pine Trees, imprimée sur papier. J'ai colorié au Copic et ajouté un sentiment CC Designs, du set Freezin' Season. J'ai essayé de donner un peu de matière au bonnet de la petite fille et à ses cheveux, aux sapins en faisant des petis points, au bois simplement en recréant les veines du bois et à la neige.

Thank you very much for your visit, have a lovely day! Merci de votre visite et bonne journée! Bisous,

Hugs

Quixotic Paperie DT

Hello everyone! If you are looking for my YNS blog hop post, please click HERE!

Bonjour à tous! Si vous cherchez mon message pour le blog hop d'YNS, cliquez ICI! 

December is here... So are you ready for Christmas? Well, if you are like me, you are still frantically making Christmas cards... I have another one to share today, which I made for my Quixotic Paperie DT post, featuring Make It Crafty and Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps (which are 20% off!) this time.

Bonjour à tous! Je partage aujourd'hui la carte que j'ai faite pour Quixotic Paperie, une carte de Noël bien sûr, parce que je crois que j'en ai des tonnes à faire :)... Cette fois, tampons Make It Crafty et Kraftin' Kimmie (à -20%!!)!

For the background, I used two stamps from the Make It Crafty Winter Backgrounds collection (available as a set or individually) - Little Village and Winter Fence - very convenient since you don't even need to mask them to make your scene. I stamped Joy by Kraftin' Kimmie on Make It Colour Blending Card as well, cut her out and put her on foam squares. I coloured everything with my Copics and added the sentiment which comes with Joy. In the corner, I added a Make It Crafty Chipboard - a Delicate Snowflake, coloured with Copics and glittered.

Pour le fond, j'ai utilisé deux tampons du set Make It Crafty Winter Backgrounds collection (disponible en set ou vendus à l'unité) - Little Village et Winter Fence - très pratiques puisque vous n'avez même pas besoin de les masquer pour créer votre scène. J'ai tamponné Joy de Kraftin' Kimmie sur papier Make It Colour Blending Card, je l'ai découpée et montée sur carrés mousse. J'ai tout colorié au Copic et le sentiment est celui qui est fourni avec Joy. Dans le coin, j'ai mis un chipboard Make It Crafty - Delicate Snowflake, colorié au Copic et recouvert de vernis pailleté. 

Challenges:
A Gem of a Challenge - Winter Wonderland
Totally Gorjuss - Snow's The Way To Go
Cute Card Thursday - Anything Goes
Live & Love Crafts - Star Dust
ABC Christmas - No Squares Allowed (#2)

That's all from me today! Enjoy the rest of your Sunday! Merci de votre visite et bon dimanche! Bisous,
Hugs
