Crochet Snowflake Tia Christmas Card, knitted baby blanket

Hi all, hope you are all keeping well, all good here apart from the cold bug, still busy at work to.

Today for my inspiration over at the Mad for Markers Store Blog I have used the cute Warm Wishes Tia from Some Odd Girl available here and created this Christmas card, this is my first go at crocheting a Snowflake, fairly pleased lol!  The sentiment I made using shrink plastic.

I have used spicas to add a zig zag pattern to the hat and tights as well as for colouring the skirt, pressies, bell, bracelet and adding highlights to her hair.

Hope you are all well, continuing our challenge over at the Mad for Markers Challenge Blog is to create a Male Creation using some of your brown copics!  Today I have used TGF 'Sheriff Ian' and created this star easel card.   This challenge finishes Saturday.

The stars have been made using shrink plastic, which was coloured using E47, then used a CM star punch and the SU Crop a dile for the hole in the centre (ish).
