Good morning, I'm back again - bright and early...well early! with another two cards to share. The first one is for our January Challenge at Stamping Sensations, the theme is Anything Goes with an option of Hand -coloured image. I stamped an old Magnolia Tilda stamp onto a square of kraft card and coloured with Copic markers, have never used alcohol markers on kraft as when I tried it once- many years ago- the ink wicked into the paper too much and made a horrible mess... I think I'm not as heavy- handed now as it wasn't a problem. I used a white pencil to add some highlights to her hair. I stencilled the circle pattern with brown ink ..it looked a bit dark and dull so I added some white dots...still a bit dingy so I used an Aall &Create circle die to cut the arch at the top, then matted both pieces onto a rectangle of dp onto which I'd stamped the happy birthday sentiment.
I am entering this card into these challenges-

My second card is a Guest Design card for
I was delighted to be invited to join the lovely DT ladies this month,
The theme- Anything Goes with an option of Anything but Square.
I have no idea what this fold is called but it was quite simple to do and it show's off a smaller stamp quite well. The cute chick is a Stamping Bella stamp which I've coloured with markers. The background is stencilled using 2 shades of yellow Distress oxides then embossed. I've added some ribbon trim and a stamped sentiment.

Your colouring on the Kraft looks good Chris as does the embossing, never used alcohol markers so never tried it.
