K at the Alphabet Challenge











Welcome all friends and followers thank you for taking the time to pop in and leave a comment.

This fortnight at the Alphabet Challenge Helen has asked us to use "Kraft card or paper " I  have seen lots of cards with the image stamped/printed directly onto Kraft card  then coloured with watercolour pencils, so thought I would give it a go. My first card had a lot of white,  I would have been better choosing another image with much less white. My second attempt was a little better but I don't think this style of card is for me. I look forward to seeing your makes.

 Digi and sentiment from Bugaboo,  pop over to the challenge blog to see my teamies cards

Two super cards Meg, the first one is a fabulous CAS design, your sheep is so cute and you have coloured the scene on your second card beautifully.

Such great Kraft cards, Meg! I really love your ewe! (I always dread the Kraft challenges but don't think there's a right or wrong to them.) Hope you have a great weekend!

I love both on kraft. I never think to use my kraft cardstock and I have a drawer full.

Hi Meg! I love both of these cards - they are beautiful! I do like the countryside scene a lot - it reminds me of where I grew up...right next to the corn field! I really like this technique and have a couple of ideas for this! Take care and have a great weekend!

Two lovely creations, love the cute fun sheep and a really lovely scene in the second card, must be hard to colour on kraft but you have done a great job.
