InStyle Stamps Colour Challenge, Challenges and WOYWW

Its time for another Colour Challenge from InsStyle Stamps. The color scheme is so pretty, don't you think? The olive greens, the rich reds, the creams and browns - scrumptious!

... and there are lots of fab Christmas images in store at InStyle Stamps.

I made a bottle tag for this challenge ... a fab way of decorating bottles for pressies.

Sorry for the photos .. but as you might be able to guess ... it has been raining lots here and the light is dismal.

Here is a closer view

I used this cute digi image from InStyle Stamps, Kissmas Monkey and coloured it in using my pens, before cutting it out.  I made the tag using my Nesties labels and then matted some Basic Grey Wassail onto the tag.  The sentiment is from LOTV, and the pendants are made using a WOJ die.

I am entering this into this week's Totally Papercrafts challenge, Tag it, and Stampavie and More's have a tag on your project.

nd here is a card for a few challenges ...
Simon Says Stamp - Prince Charming (male card + charm)
Papertake Weekly - Sketch
House Mouse and friends - you gotta to have friends

I got this cutie earlier in the year, and haven't got round to inking it up until now.  This is going to be hubby's Christmas card .. .thanks to the cat our tree might well look like this!!  I coloured the iamge using my pens.  I followed the Papertake Weekly challenge sketch, and added a couple of punched snowflakes and 2 charms, a Christmas tree and a mouse!!


And finally ...as it is Wednesday it's time to show off my desk for Whats on Your Workdesk Wednesday ... Note the sun .. .we had sun this morning for the first time in days :)  Soon changed to heavy cloud mind :S

OK I have been practising my brayering and layering like Tracey over at Lavinia Stamps does ... getting better I think!  Before you all get excited about the finished card ... I took the pic this morning, and left everything out which is very unlike me ... anyway ... beth decided to have a go with my brayer .. yes you guessed my hard work is now in the bin!!
In the background you can see some Christmas cards I need to get finished and a list of challenges .. .so many to do and so little free time :(
