Roald Dahl on Kraft

This is my first attempt at colouring on kraft.  I assumed it would be difficult to get the colours to look right without a pure white backing but actually, it was really easy.  Despite being so small the image was really easy to colour, it's surprisingly forgiving because the details are so tiny, the slightest touch of colour looked right.

Winter Shaker Card

This didn't start off as a shaker card, but once I'd cut the circle and imagined the starry night background it just didn't seem right not to.

Scary Spider Wreath

This is an idea I came up with while trying to get to sleep one night.  I've a bit of a thing for wreaths at the moment and I had a do at a Halloween coloured one but I wanted to do something a little scarier!  So I came up the idea of using the same technique I've use to make dream catchers to make a spider web.  I wrapped some old black yarn around a large embroidery hoop until it was covered. Then I wrapped more yarn across the middle to make a wheel design.  Then I knotted yet more black yarn around each "spoke" of the "wheel".  It looked like a spider web sure enough but it was a little plain and boring so I dug out my old pom-pom making kit and made two pom-poms, one big and one small.  I got some old wire and bent it into leg type shapes then glued the large pom-pom onto the middle with the small pom-pom at the front.  He did have little gems for eyes but could I get them to stick on!  Googley eyes would have been cool but I didn't have any to hand.

Rose Budd Miss Charlotte

As soon as I saw this CD from PolkaDoodles I knew I had to have it!  The images are simply stunning!!  I'm a bit disappointed with my first card, it looked so much better in my head!  Oh well, I'll have another play with the CD another time and I'm sure I'll come up with something to do the images justice . . . maybe . . .
