Whiff Of Joy Challenge #3


I am so excited to see all the participants at the Whiff Of Joy Challenge Blog. But I knew it would be a great challenge blog with these adorable images.
This week we have a lovely sketch made my Heather.
I colored Charlotte with my copic markers and glazed pens, with glitter on her hat and muff. I matted her on some red cardstock that I stamped with my new Inkadinkado Christmas flourish. I used some prima flowers with the brads and spacers and added some stickles to the edges of the flowers. The wording is from Su along with the punches. All has been distressed with Vintage Ranger Ink.

My image is one of my new stamps from Penny Black that I got at HM Stamps. I colored the cute kitty with my copic markers and then used some glitter for his hat. The sentiment is also from Penny Black and I used some prima flowers and stickles to the center of them.

There is a gorgeous sketch over at Penny Black Saturday this week. I so love sketch challenges. I used the snowman image that my dear friend Jacqui sent me. I used my copic's on the snowmans bag and hat and some glitter on his hat too, the body of the snowman I used fun flock on it not quite sure about the fun flock on him but thought I would try it. The postage die cut behind the snowman is from Debbie's Die Cuts. The stars and poinsettia is from Prima and the snowflake brad is from HL. I also used a snowman charm on the ribbon from Fanciful Inc. The snowflake DP is from my local scrapbook store. I was so thrilled to have my favorite color in snowflake paper.
