Bah Humbug challenge.....

Bah Humbugs challenge this week is Santa Claus/Father Christmas.
The stamp I have used is by Hampton Art Stamps and is simply called 'Santa Claus'.  It's not an easy stamp to colour as it is quite dense but thought copics pens would be the best choice.
I managed to find a tiny holly punch so used that on his hat.
Backing paper is from Dovecraft Christmas Fancy paper pack. Sentiment is from LOTV and the letters used were from Sizzix Naturall Serif Alphabet strip.
Hope you are all enjoing this wonderful weather that we are still having.....

Less is More challenge.....

Like a lot of people I am really enjoying the challenges from Less is More Chrissie and Mandi have certainly made us think about our cards for these challenges.
I was just about to post my card when I saw that my friend Karen had used the same stamp that I had used so had to start again.....
This weeks challenge is 'One Layer - off the page'.  For this I have used the lovely Asian Poppy stamp by Hampton Art Stamps.  Coloured with Copic pens and I have used a sentiment from one of the Stampin up Sets called 'Whimsical Words'.

Kathy asked what about the copics coming through the card.  I dont normally colour with copics directly onto my card but I will put some decorative paper inside.
