Game of Thrones themed...

It was Hubby's birthday last week, while we were visiting Yorkshire

and I had made him this birthday card...

We both LOVE Game of Thrones... 

so thought I would try to base his card on the show.

I downloaded the font, quickly and easily

played with the "winter is coming" quote, and 

used Tyrion Lannisters words... 

"That's what I do - i drink, and I know things!"

(Much like my hubby! hahah !)

He loved the card and thought it was very clever. 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Kitty bee designs - birthday - 9 Sept
Little miss muffet - atg - 8 Sept
Through the craft room door - atg - 5 Sept

My first Christmas card!

The great "Ikes art" is sponsoring our challenge this

week at Glitter n Sparkle -

where the challenge is the old favourite...

anything goes!

The image is called "winter robins" 

and I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it.

It was a lovely image to colour. 

The sentiment was on my pc.

I added some micro glitter and liquid pearls to represent the snow.

The gingham paper and the bunting are from a

christmas dovecraft paper pack from a few years ago. 

(The bunting had loads of strings across a page...and I just

fussy-cut a string of bunting out.)

I said to my mum, 5 weeks ago, that over the summer holidays,

 I would like to make some christmas cards... I have just managed this one so far...

but there's still a week to go. 

You never know!

Creative fingers - atg - 9 Sept

Best fishes... pisces.

This weeks challenge is all about the "zodiac" 

at Glitter n Sparkle, 

and I used the image "pisces" from Artsi Doodles...

I coloured the fish with my alcohol pens

..I used 6 different shades of yellow and orange.

I mounted them onto 3d foam

and made the background by colouring bars of blues

and aqua greens - using about 8 colours of blue and aqua.

I punched some small circles, in aqua 

and added them as bubbles... like a border.

I also popped a little highlight in the top right of each bubble,

 and covered each one

in glossy accents. 

The finishing touch was my handwritten words...describing

the characteristics of Pisces. 

I hope you will join in the challenge this week, with us.

I would like to enter this into these other challenges:

Dad's birthday

It;s "anything goes" challenge

at Patties Creations this month! 

I used an image I have been hankering after for a while now...

"star quilt"

I knew that my Dad would love this, coloured up, as I knew it would

remind him of his holidays in America and Canada.

The colouring took a while, to be fair. Haha.
My promarkers are up to the job though~! 

I added a couple of other details with my white sakura pen..

 like a few small hearts in the stars

and some stripes, spots and waves. 

The sentiment is from Pink Petticoat and the 

'Dad' is diecut.
