Good Morning,

It's time again for us on Team Icicles to showcase our inspiration for this weeks challenge over at the Winter Wonderland Challenge our theme for this week is .......

Ribbon & Pearls

This week we are sponsored by 'All Dressed Up'.

Wendy is offering the winner a choice of two images from her store

and here's a bit more about All Dressed Up:

"Hi I am Wendy Burns I live in Nottingham UK with my husband and two children who have been the inspiration behind the characters,  in particular my daughter who has kept me up-to-date with blogging and trends.  I work predominantly within the textile children’s wear market, fashion and interiors.

I trained as a textile designer and although my work is digital based, I love to retain that hand drawn/sewn feel which I hope comes across in my artwork.

Digital stamps is a new challenge for me and the opportunity to work with the All Dressed Up Team and has been very exciting, in particular the creative way my characters have been given individual personalities by the designers.

All Dressed Up is a newly launched blog with an enthusiastic team who are passionate about stamping.  The coordinators Marilyn and Tracy along with an amazing design team are also known as The Dressy Girls.

We have a friendly Facebook page, regular blog posts, tutorials, challenges and freebies .The stamps can be purchased from the Etsy shop which is updated on a monthly basis.

We really are friendly bunch and would love to see your creations so please feel free to contact us and visit the All Dressed Up Challenge Blog".

I have coloured up Christmas Deer using my Pro Markers for a change. I thought I had been neglecting my Pro Markers a bit as the box had dust on it lol

The papers are from my stash along with the flowers, The little white balls are Pomegranate Apples from Live & Love Crafts

Jammin with Jayden

Good Morning,

It's challenge time again over at the Art by Miran Challenge blog and as always the theme is 

Anything goes.

I have coloured up Jammin Jayden using Copic Markers. I thought as its a male card that I would keep it CAS as I don't really have a lot of embellishments that aren't girly.

I did draw and fussily cut out some song notes to compliment the ones already on the image
