Kanban Penguin meets Me To You Winter Wonderland Papers

Good afternoon to you all in the land of blog
Today I delivered another card class at Grimsby Crafts, with lots of new faces and well as our regular ladies, a very enjoyable day :)

Today's class was to focus on the image and the colouring using shading and some blender techniques, so the sketch of the card was quiet easy. 

The papers are Me to You called Winter Wonderland and the image is Kanban a lovely winter set with some really nice sentiments, both items are available to purchase from Grimsby Crafts.  The little pearls have been coloured with copics and a wood ware punch has been used for the snowflakes.  The base colour and contrast on this creation is silver mirror card and icicles stickles has been used for the furry bits on the jacket, hat and little bell.  All of course coloured in copics.

Just an update the cold so almost gone but still hanging on for dear life, the MOT OMG!!! fancy failing, such an inconvenience grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........................... and way on a much happier note.......

I would like to welcome all my new followers and wish you all well in the 500 follower candy.   For those of you that have not yet entered the 500 follower candy you can do so here, and thank Feline for advertising my candy for me.
