Four Week Special

This is the second time I've typed this post up. Wish me luck that this one actually stays where it's meant to, because my other one has buggered off into the nether. Good morning Pollycrafters. How are ya all?! I've got a Monday off work. Yippeee!! Time to sort out this fuffing car insurance and get me a 2012 diary that is sturdy enough to see it through the year!! :)

Time for a new Pollycraft Challenge, and today we've got something SPECIAL for ya. That's right. A CHALLENGE SPECIAL. A FOUR WEEK LONG SPECIAL. ;) Four weeks means we've got FOUR WINNERS and FOUR PRIZES!!

Need any more reason to join in? ..I didn't think so! ;) I'll show you my card anyway! LOL. I've used the adorable new Swings and Slides - Perfect Christmas image. There are four in this release, plus another handsome Casper Silvermist (perfect for those tricky teenager cards) - Paula will be adding them to the Pollycraft Shop today, so be sure to pick yours up and get creating those adorable Christmas cards! ;)

I used some slices of paper from last years Christmas collection from Basic Grey - Jovial. Delicious papers. I love the mix of traditional colours with contemporary patterns.. so clever. Plus they've added a splash of blue, blue is never a bad thing. One bad thing is the papers are running low! LOL. Gotta use them up though. That's what I keep telling myself away. HA!

I've coloured this cute image using a mix of ProMarkers and Copics. I decided to keep him on his own little panel instead of fussy cutting him out so I could add a slight 'night time glow' around him. Not a lot of distressing or doodling on this card, but hey - sometimes it's good to break habits.

The little sentiment is from a Some Odd Girl set, which I have embossed in white. I kinda wish I'd distressed the edges of the card base to make it match this panel a little better. Never mind. Critical eye and all that.

Be sure to check out  the Challenge Blog to see what the other awesome DT have done with these new images! ;)
