One off the list for the Grandchildren


This week the challenge from Rainbow Lady is to use the letter B. I thought I'd go for Brrr as it's been a bit nippy for us without the conservatory on the front of the house. Hopefully, the new one will be finished by the end of the day. Tilda has been coloured with Pro Markers and the fir on her suit glittered. The wall was coloured with a grey Crayola pencil and blended with a Derwent blender pencil to darken it. This was lost when I sprayed the whole image with Crafter's Companion glitter spray. I also sprayed the text plates. The base card is red and has been covered with some patterned vellum from my stash.
Thanks very much for visiting.

Hi Beryl I love this card your interpretation is great for B I wouldn't have thought of that, this why I find so much joy visiting other crafters blogs because you pick up so much inspiration. I love your new blog look.
