TSC Cool Becca Boo

The Stamping Chef has a weekly competition on their Facebook page TSC Recipes.

You email for the image, which is this case is Cool Becca Boo, you upload a card in the folder, you get lots of lovely comments from some very nice people and the chance to win a free image. If you ask for the freebie you MUST make a card with it though or you will not be allowed to get freebies again, it’s only fair J

Becca looked like she was looking at something so I decided it would be a dog. This little cutie is from a Broken Box Stock freebie called Kirby. He looks like he needs a good home. I’d have him but Paul is not an animal lover so no chance of me having a pooch L The bone is a free image from the Stamp Fairy and is a sentiment that I have resized very small. I coloured all the images with my Promarkers and Flexmarkers, fussy cut them and mounted on 3d foam.

I used a sketch A313 from House The Stamps Built for the layout covering the base of my card with some pawprint paper from a Kanban kit from QVC. The paw print border is from the same kit. I cut a mat from some textured DCWV cardstock and mounted onto some foam. Finally I added loads of gems and a little heart as Cool Becca Boo loves her doggy.

If you don’t take part in the challenges on Facebook you are missing out on some lovely free images so I hope you will pop over there and join in the fun.

Donny Winter

Again, another winter themed card inspired by all the snow we have in the UK at the moment.

I have used this great freebie from the Stampfairy. There is a whole range of this cute teddy called Donny and it was so lovely to colour in with my Promarkers. I am loving shading and getting more practice with colouring them in properly. I always loved colouring in as a kid and for Christmas would get a brand new set of felt tips and a new colouring book. It's nice to know that I can still enjoy colouring in at 39 years old and have a legitimate excuse for doing so :) I now just do it with grown up pens instead....

I used the sketch #133 at Friday Sketchers for the layout. The main backing of the card is silver mirri card, it was a bugger to get s photo that didn't have my reflection in it LOL. The snowflake paper is by K & Co and the mesh with snowflake fluff I think I got from the NEC a couple of years ago. It's got a nice texture to it and looks good against the silver.

The snowball has got loads of stickles smeared on it so it glistens. The thin velvet ribbon and sentiment are from my stash.
