Robot Boy

In amongst the coloured images I found this little robot boy partially coloured in and I thought he needs to be used. this whole card came together just to use up one tiny image but I do like the finished result.

Rockin' Doggie

Before Birdie Brown designed for MFT she had an Etsy digistamp store and I bought quite a few images from her, the store closed a long time ago but her images are too cute not to use, so I am going to apologise in advance that this image is no longer available. I keep hoping that it is one that gets made into an MFT set but no sign so far.

Another simple card and along the same design principle as the silhouette cards I showed earlier this month, I had a bit of a run of blending inks in almost the same place so there might be more cards later on, of course that is if they ever get made into cards as I am notorious for not using everything I create and/or colour lol.

Ingredients

Sentiment: "a little sentimental" Clearly Besotted
Inks: "candied apple" and "fossilised amber" Distress oxides
Background: "music" Kaisercraft

Skipping Santa

I finally used the plaid builder stamp set from MFT, I decided to try to create a more traditional christmas colour scheme, originally I was going to use a darker green but I like the fun brightness of this colour. I have ordered a grid paper pad so I can line the stamps better next time, I am a bit of a perfectionist and it bothers me that a few of them aren't  perfectly aligned lol.

The image is a digi from Birdie Brown but MFT now carry this as a stamp and die set so I didn't feel so bad posting it as I would have done if you couldn't get hold of it.

Neapolitan icecream

As a child the only ice cream I remember is Neapolitan, it came in blocks and I loved it. It was always a special treat and I always ate it the same way, vanilla or white, strawberry or pink and then last was the chocolate. I hated it when the flavours mixed and couldn't understand my friends when they deliberately mixed them all in. I think looking back I have always had a touch of OCD lol

I am trying to use stuff that has been in my stash for a while and this image by Birdie Brown is one I have had for a while and this is the first time it has been coloured up. Once it was coloured I decided I wanted a neapolitan background and this is the first time that this quatrefoil plate has been used, it was easy to assemble a bit like a jigsaw and lots of fun too. I wanted to leave more spaces open but OCD sometimes gets the upper hand lol.

Happy Hoppy Christmas

I have loved these cute Santa's from Birdie Brown since they were released but only bought them last week and before the sale doh!!

I have coloured with my copics and used my MFT flag stack to cut the sentiment. The background was created using my hexagon die again and papers from the snippet draw. This die is a perfect way to use up scraps.

Retro Phones

Birdie Brown has two fabulous phones as freebies this month, I love these images so much cheeky character in them, I couldn't decide which one to use so used them both lol. I have previously used Robot Boy on this card and so I couldn't not enter the challenge for the chance to win a free digi could I. I have my eye on a few at the moment am especially loving the ice creams.

I made hello cards for my friends and have sent them with an invite for a coffee catch up, used a snippet of patterned paper and got both from the same snippet too. I just realised these entire cards are made from freebies, the cards were free with a recent purchase, the papers were from a free kit and the images were free too.
