Mad For Markers - An Aussie Christmas

Can it be .... can it really be December already???  Wow how this year has flown ....

Well its a new month so a new challenge at Mad For Markers challenge blog.  This month we challenge you to create AN AUSSIE CHRISTMAS (it might rain ... but no snow).

For my card I have used this gorgeous girl from the Buddies set from The Greeting Farm.

I adore this stamp!  I love this sweet little girl and the way she cuddles her cat.  I thought it made a lovely Christmas image .... after all I'm sure every child would love a pet for Christmas.  (I know I always wanted one!)

Cat - W00, W1, W3

Mad For Markers - Use Ys & YRs

Deja Vu??  I posted this one a fortnight ago ... but for some reason it didn't publish on the M4M blog ... so I'm doing it again .......

Hello there :)  I have a confession .... I don't like the colour orange!  I really don't ..... the only thing I really like the look of that is orange is a ... well an orange!  But I think I'm starting to come around .....
You see I have been colouring with oranges quite a bit lately .... its a lovely colour on a card and really suits masculine cards, Halloween cards and Thanksgiving cards.

Talking about Thanksgiving and orange ..... that is the theme of the latest Mad For Markers challenge!

So here is my latest 'orange' themed creation.

 How adorable is this image!!!!!! she comes in a set of two gorgeous images and lots of sentiments.  You can grab her from the Mad For Markers store .. .here.  The set is from The Greeting Farm - Buddies.

 I have coloured this cute little pair in the following copic markers:-
Skin - E000, E00, R20
Hair - E29, E35, E37
Cat - W00, W01, W03, W05
Clothes - YR15, YR16, YR20, YR23, YR31 and Y28... YG93

The papers are from Kaisercraft Antique Rose collection and the ribbon is from my stash.  The sentiment is from Stampin UP - Fabulous Phrases.

Thanks so much for checking out my card .... don't forget to get your own entry in to the challenge ... here.

Big hugs ... I'm off to have a glass of orange juice :)
