Sketch challenge, Sketchy Colors #96

Så er det en ny og vakker søndag, 2 søndag i advent, og julen nærmer seg med stormskritt!:)

Det er ikke mye som minner om vinter og jul nå, men det går helt fint å lage julekort for det, så får man litt julestemning på kjøpet;)

*

Ny søndag er også en ny utfordring fra Sketchy Colors #96, og denne gangen er det en flott skisse, laget av vår dyktige venn, Marianne!

Premiene denne måneden er sponset av Sweet Pea Stamps, og det er en utrolig raus og flott en..hver vinner får $ 15 i gavekort, (Thank you soo much, Lynette!!) og kan plukke fritt ut av Sweet Pea's mange lekre motiver, så hiv dere på om dere liker disse!!:)

*

På mitt kort har jeg brukt et av motivene til Sweet Pea Stamp.

Jeg elsker disse ansiktene, og de er såå gøy å fargelegge, samtidig som det er en flott øving på div farge-teknikker!!:)

Motivet heter "Rosemary", fra Karen Middelton, og de går flott an å bruke som julemotiv!:)

Du finner henne her, på plate 184

 Vakre papir fra Pion Design.

 Tekst fra NSS.

 Blomster fra WOC, og de små røde er fra Kort og Godt (perfekt vintage-rød, til disse arkene;D)

Joy Fold med motiv fra Kare Middleton

God mandag!:)
Håper dere alle har hatt en super koselig helg!?:)
Det har jeg, selv om prosjektene har stått i kø her, men jeg ser nå "lys i tunnelen", hehe!:)
Prøvde meg på et av de vakre motivene til Karen Middleton for en stund siden, og de er fantastisk morsomme å fargelegge...bare man bruker litt tid (ikke sant M!?;DD). Jeg gjorde ikke det, så da ble resulatet der etter, men jeg er helt sikker på at jeg skal kaste meg over disse "hodene" igjen♥!!
Du finner mange vakre Karen M. motiver, HER hos Sweet Pea stamp!!

Jeg laget et Joy Fold card, og et ganske så enkelt et;D, med de vakre papirene fra Magnolia..og de oser JUUL♥!!:)
Fargelagt motivet med Copic's.
Blomstene..ja de er fra WOC!;)

Tekst fra NSS,
 så har jeg brukt Martha Stewart around the edges punch-Vintage Floral

Og liitt glitter og snowmaker gjør det straks litt mer "julete";)

Du finner mange av disse vakre "jente hodene" HER, og tro meg, de er såå morsomme å fargelegge, og veldig fine til å "øve/praktisere seg med farger på♥!!

Og som alltid, så MÅ jeg har papir på baksiden også, og glitter-Tiara (som de fleste sikkert har fått med seg er min nye favoritt!;))

Tusen takk for besøket,
 og jeg har du lyst til å legge igjen en kommentar, så blir jeg veldig glad♥.
Ønsker dere en fortsatt flott mandag!

Klem, Ellen

Hello!:)
Today I have this cards to show you, that I made with  one of the newest ching-chou kuiks  images on sale now, at Sweet Pea Stamps.

Her name is Spring Butterfly, and you can find here here, sheet 36,-Plate #143!

I have coloured her with Prisma Premier Pencils, and the paper is from TPC studio."Grandma's attic"!

I have painted some of the flowers, paper and garnish with white Gesso, and I like the "Shabby look":)

I LOVE butterflies, so this image was a perfect choice for me!
I've added some glitter (Stickles-Star Dust) on her wings:)

All the flowers are from Prima, and was originally a flower branch, which I cut up!

The swirl is a dies from Marianne Design, and butterfly punch from M.S.

I dont know the name og the fabric behind the image ( is it harsh?;D).

Well, there's definitely a lot of ching-chou stamps to inspire, so I will definitely make more cards with these beautiful images:)
