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.

Red and Green

The sketch for this card came from Case-ing Christmas and I used markers for the 52CCT Challenge,we have beautiful sunshine here in the north-east, but it remains bitterly cold, luckily this little corner of Aberdeenshire has missed all the snow.

Gentle, Joyous, Loving Season

The challenge at MAWTT was to create a winter themed card or Game of Thrones card. As we all love Game of Thrones I wanted to use this theme but just couldn't find the images and papers I wanted, hence a winter scene. I kept the colours soft to mirror the sentiment and am reasonably happy with the result.

We have a miserable wet morning here, so a day for the fireside with a good book, all the chores including the ironing are done, so plenty of time to relax.

Summer Days

Tags ?? I've had these a long time and used a rub on sentiment on them

The house is very quiet with James away for a few days, although we don't see an awful lot of him he makes his presence felt. At least his room is now sparkling clean. We've had a beautiful few days and despite a dull start today is beginning to look promising, if it does stay nice a trip round the coast sounds like a good idea.
Thanks to all those who leave me a comment on my posts it is very much appreciated.

Christmas Landscape

The theme at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown this week is a Christmas Landscape. I love this digi from Just Inklined and thought it suited the challenge. It was really difficult to get a good photograph taken as I kept getting light reflecting off the acetate.
