WRS Candy Showcase - and a reminder


I'm currently offering some Christmas candy until midnight Saturday (details of how to enter are here) ... so I thought I would make a card using my version of the adorable Wild Rose Studio Pickle stamp (my candy winner will of course get brand new one!)

I actually coloured a few images from this stamp - he suits both contemporary and traditional colour schemes. Here he is in a vibrant funky colour scheme of lilac and green (made specially for the Ribbon Girl colour challenge !! :-)  ).


Stamps: Wild Rose Studio "Pickle with Sledge"; LotV Christmas Sentiment Circles;
Medium: Promarkers and Flexmarkers; Pickle's hat decorated with Polar White flowersoft mixed with glamour dust;
Papers: Bo Bunny;
Supplies: sparkly gems from The Hobby House; ribbon from my stash;
Tools: Memory Box "Snowflake Border" die from Dies To Die For.


Challenges:
The Ribbon Girl - Jingle All The Way To Christmas!
The Ribbon Girl #12 - Lilac and Green
Ooh-La-La #91 - Let It Snow!
Secret Crafter #157 - Wrap Up Warm
Christmas Card Challenge #47 - Recipe: 2 DP's 1 ribbon and a bird
Simon Says - Anything Goes
(with optional use of Bo Bunny)


Here's a close up of my fabulous new Memory Box die - when I bought it last week I also received some little die cuts of others in the range (no doubt to tempt me to further purchases lol!) and they really are amazingly intricate. This pic also tries to capture some of the sparkle of the glitter card ... the whole card is very sparkly but alas the poor light hasn't shown that up at all well.

And talking of candy .... Charmed Cards and Crafts is giving away this absolutely AMAZING mega candy here .... you don't want to miss this!!

They are asking people to follw their blog and link back to one of your own projects where you have coloured an image - well this card shows an image of mine coloured using my latest pens - I'm quite pleased with the blending :-)

That's all for today - hope you will hop over to my candy post and enter. Thanks for visiting.
