Lot's of Layers - Christmas Fireplace

Good morning to you!

March is here....where did January/February go?

Not sure where the time has went

but I am making the little moments count.

After being super sick for over a week,

in February. Then a visit out too see

my sister for 8 days (so awesome to spend time together). 

It was nice to enjoy the ocean

even with the wind/rain/snow/sun too.

My markers and ink were calling my name.

It felt nice to be back in my craft room.

With March here maybe spring just might be

around the corner...looking forward to the vibrant

colors we will all be seeing soon.

Onto why you are here:

Creative Knockouts has a brand new challenge

for us.

 CHALLENGE #489 - LOT'S OF LAYERS

Our wonderful sponsor for this two week challenge is

 Mirtillamente Digital Stamps

Prize: 2 Digi's of your choice and a chance to be a Guest Designer
for the Mirtillamente Challenge

SVARIO: CHRISTMAS FIREPLACE

The card above/below shows the fun image of

a Christmas Fireplace.

It was a joy to color up using my Copic markers.

First thing I did  was break out the pattern paper and make lots of layers.

Each piece of paper is layered over the other one (5 layers in total).

Then I decided what size to cute my image at.

Glued it all down and woola...my first Christmas card of 2023 :)

Be sure to head on over to check out the challenge

at Creative Knockouts.

It will be nice to get more inspiration from all of you.

Thank you for joining me today.

Have an amazing week ahead.

Happy Crafting,

Cupid's Cutest Valentine

 

Good morning everyone!

It is hard to believe that we are already in the month

of February and Valentine's Day is fast approaching.

This year is going to be fun with our

grandchildren.

My kids were always so lucky,

their grandma each and every year

made them a home made Valentine's Day card 

and gave them a few chocolates in a home box.

I am working very hard to continue this

tradition with my grand children this year.

Our first challenge of the month over at Creative Knockouts

is

Challenge: #487 - Love is In The Air/Valentines or Pink/Red/White Color Combo

Our wonderful sponsor is The Paper Shelter

Prize: 3 Images

The image used is called Hilarious Cupid

Be sure to check them out as they have so many awesome

images you can choose from.

The image was colored using copic markers.

I used a Heart Die to highlight the image and the little hearts. 

Sponged around the heart with pink to make the white so bright.

Two punches were used for the sentiment.

The Square was die cut using a cross stitch pattern.

The paper is from my left over paper box.

Wink of Stella was used on Cupid's Wings.

Please come and join us for our challenge,

they run for two weeks.

My fellow Design Team members have

amazing inspiration for you.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Passion For Markers Challenge - Week 675 - Use Die Cuts (all hearts and the cross stitched square)

Shopping Our Stash - Challenge #489 - Love Is In the Air 

(It is filled with hearts, cupid and a Valentine's Day Sentiment)

Thank you for stopping by and for supporting my blog.

Have an amazing day!

Hugs,

Let's Skate
