Joy

This week at CHNC, our optional twist is "Feature An Animal".  I went with the predictable route - a reindeer - because I had this lovely image printed out and wanted to use it.

I have used a digital paper from Nothing But Freebies.  I added some Wink of Stella to the reindeer on the paper.  The image is from The East Wind and the sentiment is from Create with TLC.  Colouring is with copic markers.

Peace on Earth

I've had a week or so where things haven't exactly gone to plan for one reason or another.  I meant to upload this one last night and got distracted and as a result missed the closing of the challenge the layout was based on!  I've still shared the sketch below though.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday - Sketch
http://sweetsketchwednesday2.blogspot.com/2021/04/getting-sketchy-with-sheepski-designs.html

I have used digital papers from Nothing But Freebies.  The image is from Sheepski Designs and the sentiment is from Digi Doodles Studio.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I added some Glossy Accents to the wax on the candle.

I followed last month's sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday:

Look Around and see all the Beauty still around you, and be Happy

 This is the third card using the rows of the February BINGO board at Catch The Bug.  I have used the bottom row of Dots/Stripes, Pearl and Flower.

The sentiment was inspired by the current situation when international travel is largely not possible.  I wanted to convey that even though we can't travel internationally, we are still surrounded by beauty if we actually look around and see it.

Sparkles Monthly Challenge - On The Farm
http://sparklesforumchallenges.blogspot.com/2021/02/137-on-farm.html

I have used two digital papers - the striped one is from Nothing But Freebies and the spotted one is from Bugaboo Stamps.  The image and sentiment are from Bugaboo Stamps.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I also added so flower stickers.  The two smaller ones didn't have flower centres so I added some tiny pearls and then while I had the pearls out I added another three to the sentiment panel.

A Joyous Christmas To You and Yours

 I had almost finished this card yesterday - only had to add the embellishments.  Somehow I got distracted and only finished it this morning just in time to enter into QKR Challenge before it closes!

I'm jumping back to the letter C for the Month of Holiday Cards at Beccy's Place.  C is for Cowboy and for Christmas.

Manly Male

I am still working on reducing the number of digital papers, images and sentiments that I had printed out and failed to use.  For this card, I used two different digital papers along with an image.  I really feel I might be starting to make some progress although the pile doesn't seem to be getting any smaller.
