Cinnamon & Berries

Good morning, today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Love to Scrap and their theme is anything goes! I started back on to Christmas cards because you can never have too many of them.  I used Prisma/Copic markers for the basic colour and then shaded with Prisma Pencils. I'm really getting the hang of using them. I used Doodle Pantry's Cinnamon & Berries  and really like how the shading turned out on the cinnamon stickes. I need a little more practice with the berries and leaves. You can't see it in the photo but all of the snowflakes in the background and the berries have stickles on them!

Drop on by Love to Scrap and give their challenge a try. If you use a digital image you can enter our challenge AIMPDC #22 as well! Good luck and happy crafting.

Good Morning! Today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Operation Write Home and their challenge is to create a card that is black and white with a hint of green or red. I chose the new Quirky Polar Bear, which was so perfect for this challenge. I printed him off twice and then popped up his nose, two paws and pom pom on his hat.

I almost, ALMOST put glitter on the snowflakes and pom pom but remembered just in time that Operation Write Home has a no glitter policy! So don't be tempted, no glitter. I forgot one time and had to redo a challenge card in record time, now that was a challenge! Hop on over to Operation Write Home and give the challenge a try, you could win 3 Doodle Pantry stamps.
