Hello! Happy Monday!
Hope this finds you well.
Today launches the first challenge for 2014 over on the
Cutie Pie Challenge Blog and our theme is January Blues. Sounds
quite sad doesn’t it but what we want is for you to use shades of blue on your creation,
simple eh!
This week we are lucky to have two wonderful
sponsors. The first is Just Some Lines
Who are offering 4 images of the randomly chosen winner’s
choice from their online store!
And we welcome
back to the Cutie Pies
Who are offering a £10 voucher for their online store to our DT chosen winner!
Wowser!

We had some wonderful images to play with this fortnight and
I chose to use Emo Snowflake,
and as I half expected the country to be covered in snow by now I thought it
would be appropriate. Hmmmm! Oh well I
went with it anyway.
I typed out the 1st verse of a poem I remember
from when I was a girl (many, many, many years ago) and printed that out along
with the image onto watercolour card. I also
used the free snowflake design
that Just Some Lines have available
in their shop and copied and resized multiple times to create a
background. I coloured with my Derwent Inktense
Pencils (best Christmas present ever but just wish they had come with a nice
big box of ‘skill’ as well) and added
Stickles for a frosty sparkle.
Pearls and a bow were my final touch but I wasn’t happy so I used a Spellbinder die to add a frame and dotted all over the place with blue liquid pearls.
