I've used a gorgeous stamp called Andy on Sledge. I've coloured mainly with flexmarkers as my new colours came and I just had to play! I really love them, but I must admit they take a bit of getting used to when you're used to promarkers... I was having some blending issues, until I'd been colouring a while and realised they work better (for me) if I colour from dark to light, instead of the other way round as I usually do with PMs. So hopefully I'll improve with them now I've worked that out!
I added lots of glamour dust and then kept the card quite simple, just adding some wooden snowflakes, card candy and a MFT die cut border.
I'm entering my card for the following challenges:
- Simon Says Stamp - anything goes
- Winter Wonderland - clean & simple Christmas card
- Cute Card Thursday - fab sketch
- One Stop Craft - no sentiment
- Totally Papercrafts - glitter it
- Cards For Men - animals
- Creative Craft Challenges - fancy edges
- Crimbo Crackers - anything goes (Christmas)
- Charisma Cardz - anything goes
We've been to see Rio at the cinema this morning, the boys loved it... actually me and hubby enjoyed it too, big kids we are! We'd intended going yesterday, but when we got to the cinema it had sold out - oops! So we booked tickets for today, then went to Monkey Bizness (soft play) instead and then hubby talked me into getting a new phone! I've been putting it off and insisting I didn't need a smartphone - I knew I'd be totally baffled with everything it could do lol... anyway, I got one, a Samsung Galaxy - now I just have to figure out how to use the bloomin' thing!

Love the wooden snowflakes! I usually colour a base colour and then add the dark and gradually lighten it to the base colour. If that made sense!!

Love how you've bought him to life Lisa, fabulous colouring :)
I always colour from dark to light with promarkers but then I've only seen a few online tutorials...It would be great if you could make a colouring tutorial video ;)

Fab card Lisa. Love the simple layout and superbly coloured image xx Jenny xx
Super card Lisa! Love the background and the color combo!
There are quite a few very impressive business card template her, hard to choose a favorite, but I really enjoyed the simplicity of Jose Antonio Contreras.
Fab card, such a cute image, not tried the flex markers but have heard they are more like a copic. I use copics and find certain colours blend better dark to light and others light to dark lol. Don't mind though as love colouring in and experimenting.
Wonderful card, beautiful image and colours.
Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamps Challenge.
luv
