Colours on Kraft

I found the Annabelle Stamps blog recently and am trying to take part in their challenges on a weekly basis. I haven't coloured on Kraft before so started off small! I used my trees from a Stampin Up! set and used derwent coloursoft pencils. I added gems to the first and red stickles to the last. I used my papermania border stamps and my craftwork cards alphabet for the wording.

I am entering this card into the following challenges;

Annabelle Stamps - Colours on Kraft

How beautiful......

I am trying to make more cards to sell at work to raise money for the greyhounds. I think this image lends itself perfectly to a quick card even though there is some colouring to do.

Image is Lotv

Coloured with derwent pencils and baby oil

Sentiment from a Stamping Belle stamp set that I won

Border stamp by Papermania

I will be entering this card into the following challenges;

Less is More - Feathers and Fur
Make it Monday- Linky Party


Hope you day goes well!

Fur and Feathers

is this week's challenge on the Less is More Challenge. I decided it was a perfect opportunity to makes some more cards to sell at work for the Greyhounds. I also got these stickers as people felt I should be putting my name on them, but i also wanted to say what they were raising money for.

This is a new stamp set I got for £2 last week..I have never used something new so quick! I also had a go at masking as it looks so effective on other people's cards!

I will be entering this card into the following challenges;

Less is More - Fur and Feathers

Do You Stack Up  - Four legged friends
Sentimental Sundays - Clean and Simple

Hope you Sunday is going well x
