Good morning! It's time for a brand new challenge over at Southern Girls. This week the theme is 'punching above your weight' so we want to see you use those dies/ punches on your creations. We have two fabulous sponsors for this challenge OakPondCreations and Polkadoodles, so some lovely prizes on offer.
For my card I used the brilliant Edgar theRaven from Oakpond Creations. I coloured him with a mixture of copics and pencils, not too happy with the result but that's not Edgar's fault....I wanted him black and I think that's a bit beyond my skills -see I really am 'punching above my weight'!!! His eyes look a bit dodgy too, there's glossy accents on his monocle but it doesn't show in the photo just makes one eye look discoloured! I added various die cuts and punched musical notes, the sentiments are computer generated.
Here's the inside view!
Thanks so much for taking the time to visit, now just click here to visit the challenge blog, admire the lovely creations from the rest of Team Trace and add your own beautiful entry!

Hilarious, Chris! :^)
Love the fun bird--and I can see the gloss on his monocle. I think you did a great coloring job--he definitely looks feathered! And the black with blue is a fab combo. Love all the pretty die cuts, the embossing, design, and wonderfully funny sentiment! :^)
Have a great weekend!
Hugs, Penny
Oh, the image reminds me of a TV show when I was little, it's fabby. The sentiment is hilarious Chris, the feathers inside the card are a perfect touch!
