Rest your wings.....

 I decided Morpheus needed to be added to the Christmas images, so I've drawn him curled around a bauble asleep.  Each time I draw him he evolves a little, one day he may become a BIG dragon!

Anyways.... you can find this image (Christmas Snooze) here in the shop where you can get 10% off all images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

I've coloured the image with Copics and added a magical background with some Copic cleaner and a white acrylic paint pen.

I wanted to keep it nive and simple to showcase the card, so all I've added is some green glitter paper and some left over paper from 13Arts.  The sentiment "Rest your wings" was made from Tim Holtz stickers.

Thanks for popping by for a look today :)

Waiting for the Sunflowers

Today is our new challenge day at SheepSki Designs in the Facebook group.

I've chosen to use Sunflower Border.  You can find it here in the shop where you can get 10% off all images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

This one has been a work in progress for a few few weeks.  I was hoping for some inspiration from the giant sunflowers in the garden, but at the moment all they're interested in doing is growing to monster size without any flowers!!  So this was more from imagination of what I'm hoping they will look like ;)

I've coloured the image with Copics, sprinkled a little embossing enamel around and added a Sunshine sentiment using a Tim Hotlz stocker and a tiny silver dragonfly charm.  The card is a single layer one to showcase the coloured image.

Thank for popping by for a look today, hope to see you at the challenge.

Stomper

Today is Outlawz Sketch day, we don't have a sponsor this month so I've decided to use Wild Flower for my inspiration.  you can find the image here at the SheepSki Designs shop.

The image has been coloured with Copics.  I've created a little scene for the gnome and as you can see he's a bit of a stomper, walking all over the wild flowers in the grass.  think it might be something to do with not being able to see because of the hat!!

This is our sketch for the next two weeks.  I've flipped it round for my creation.

The design papers are from Lemoncraft and 13Arts.  i've also used a little black card for framing, a couple of black gems and some ribbon from my stash.

Thanks for popping by for a look today.  We hope to see you at the challenge

I've created this for the CHALLENGE inspiration in the SheepSki Designs Facebook Group, always anything goes with one of our images with an optional twist of FLOWER POWER this time.
