Pollycraft Challenge #31..Winter Birthdays


Good morning bloggers,It's time for another pollycraft challenge and this week the lovely Lynsey has chosen the theme...'WINTER BIRTHDAYS'
we want to see your cards with a theme of 'Winter Birthdays' so don't pack away all those Christmas stamps just yet lets see how versatile they can be!
You can interpret this in your own way.... just think Winter!!
There will be 3 winners this time, and the prize is the new moon and star fairy images.


Now I have to say I struggled with this one and am not entirely happy with my card,I like my card but it isn't wintery enough for my liking.I did start with a different image and coloured it blue but it just wasn't working for me so in the bin it went along with another attempt and so I opted for this one in the end.I used the gorgeous pollycraft winter elve,coloured her with copics,papers I think are SU,sentiment is elzybells and the ribbon is from my stash.Please do come and join in with the challenge we would love to see what you create...thanks for stopping by:)
