Pretty Poinsettia

I plan to create at least one more card with this sketch as it is a great way of using some scrap pieces to reduce my scraps box.    After a beautiful sunny day yesterday, today is back to being cool and overcast.  At times it is hard to believe is is late Spring.

https://beccysplace.blogspot.com/2022/11/a-month-of-holiday-cards-challenge.html

I have used a paper from a paper pad.  The image is from Polka Doodles and I'm not certain of the source of the sentiment (it was in my Awaiting Crafting box).  Colouring is with copic markers and Kindy Glitz. I also added some pink gems.

Thank You

I am hoping that this counts as mostly pink - I hadn't realised how much white space there is!  The leaves are coloured in light purple so that they don't detract from the pink flowers.

Creations In Pink - Mainly Pink
https://creationsinpink.blogspot.com/2022/09/challenge-50-anything-goes-in-mainly.html

I have used a paper from a paper pad.  The image is from Digi Choosday and I can't locate the source of the sentiment.  I thought I knew who the designer was but I can't find it among their sentiments.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I also added some pink gems.

Trick or Treat

 I am honoured to be a Guest Designer for the Sunday Songs and Rhymes Challenge.  This month featured a poem.  My inspiration came from the following lines:

The month is Amber,

Gold and Brown.

Blue ghosts of smoke

Float through the town.

To see the whole rhyme, visit the challenge here.

I have used an image from the sponsor Polkadoodles called Winnie's Trick or Treat Halloween Witch.  This image comes in both Black and White and Coloured.  I chose to work with the Black and White Version.

I also used a paper from a paper pad.  The ghosts are from a confetti pack.  I attached some to the front frame and some to the background.  Colouring is with copic markers.

I followed a tutorial for a Pop Up Frame Card by Sam Calcott.  Her one was white on white but I'm quite pleased with the result of adding colour.

I'm not sure what the weather is going to do today.  The sun is out at the moment but there are a lot of clouds about too.  I may get to do some things inside - or I could be inside cardmaking etc.   For now, I'm uploading any cards that I finished off in the past couple of days that hadn't been blogged as yet.
