Sketches on a wet day

Today is the coldest, most miserable of the winter so far. It has rained literally all day so I've been stuck in with the boy. And I have to say, he has been an angel! He has been playing with his lego and puzzles while I have been crafting. I thought I'd join in a couple of challenges this week. A Gem of a challenge is asking for you to follow a sketch and a christmas card in non traditional colours. Isn't Sprinkles the fairy just too cute!!? I've used a mix of crate paper and dovecraft papers, a lace doily, some lace and some dew drops. You can't really see in the photo but Sprinkles has been stickled and I coloured her in using pro markers. I still need a bit of practice I think. I also thought I'd try Sketch Saturday this week. It's been ages since I've joined in but the sketch was perfect for my sisters birthday card. I'd had this image from Elzybells coloured and framed for a while but wasn't sure what to so with it. Doesn't it look lovely with these papers?! I used a mix of crate paper and prima this time, the frame stamp is from Papermania and again I've coloured in using pro markers. Thanks for stopping by. Keep your fingers crossed this rain eases before the school run :)
