Hi There,
Sharing with you my finished Christmas card after completing the November Markers class from Kit and Clowder. Image is called “North Pole” by Polkadoodles.
Here is a close-up.
For this project I used all Copic markers. Alyce from Kit and Clowder also teaches you how to use alternative markers as well. Which I really love, since I also have the full Spectrum Noir collection.
I had a lot of fun doing this class as it taught me a lot of new techniques. I especially loved learning how to colour the snow as I love making wintery scened Christmas cards. 🙂
Also, loved learning how to do the sky.
To frame the image I used Craftin Desert Diva’s Fancy Frames. One of my all time favourites. Then used Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Mermaid Lagoon to go around the border to deepen the colour.
Added in a little glitter to the snowy roofs and snow on the ground, just because I love sparkle. LOL!
Hope you like it!
Hi There,
For those of you that follow me, you all know that I have a cat named “Boo”. She was a rescue cat and we were so lucky to get her. She was 6.5 years old at the time and is now a little over 13 years old. We love her sooo much! She turned out to be extremely loveable and we couldn’t be happier with her!
Since her name was “Boo” we didn’t change it and I made a card for the vet from her for Hallowe’en. How could I not?? She was the perfect Hallowe’en cat. LOL! As a result, it is now a tradition for me to make cards for the vet and his staff for all of the special holidays and occasions from “Boo”.
This is the card that I made for this year.
The front of the card is made using stamps from Hampton Art Clear Stamps and Recollections Clear Stamps.
Background papers are from Pebbles – Tricks and Treats – 6 x 6 Paper pad.
Sentiment is from Cricut – Autumn Celebrations – Happy Halloween #M38C94 and My Creative Time – Too Cute to Spook.

On the back of the card, I used an svg from Miss Kate Cuttables called “witch-in-moon-10-25-16”.

I work with a lady who is a beekeeper. I thought this would be perfect to give her the next time I purchase some more fresh honey. MMMMM, it is sooo good!!!
To make the tag, I used the bee from JessicaLynn Original Big Fat Bumble Bee digi. I sized it multiple times and arranged their position using Microsoft Word and then printed it out to colour.d
Used Spectrum Noir markers to colour bee and then added a little yellow texture with PrismaPremier coloured pencil.
The sentiment is from Craftin Desert Diva’s “Just Because” Stamps for “Buzzing by….” and “to say”. (I covered up the “hi” with tape before I stamped it.
The sentiment “Thank You!” is from My Creative Time – Hey There Little Lady.
For the tag, I used the tag die from SpellBinders “Tags and Flags” – S5-095 and shortened it.
Coloured around the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Mustard Seed and a little dauber.
Finished it off with some black and yellow ribbon.
