What I Did..... and what I did next - by Judith Hall

I'm back after a lovely Christmassy break in Florida and no blogging has been done!!

but it's lovely to be back for the last challenge of the year at

Hope this scheduled post works today! - my record with blogger this week hasn't been too good

and as it's Friday 13th......

I'll be travelling around and about somewhere 

on my way to Florida on my hollies!

Our challenge at Winter Wonderland this week is 

Christmas Candy

It's a perfect one for me this year as I've got a bit of a thing about gingerbread men!

I treat myself to this lovely die from Tonic to make some cute Christmas cards together with the accessories set from Tim Holtz Crazy birds stamps to add the hats and candy canes

- the perfect ingredients for a Christmas candy card!

When I get back from my hollies I intend to do a bit of a batch craft of this card 

- quite easy to do - well except for backing the gingerbread men in white - which turned out a whole lot more complicated than I thought!!

We have a fab prize as always at Winter Wonderland challenge 

from our sponsor this week

Crafty Ribbons

The prize is a £10 voucher to spend in their store

It's time for another challenge over at 

Winter Wonderland

we would like to see ribbon on your project
so this weeks theme is

Christmas with a Ribbon

The team were lucky enough to be given a choice of image by our sponsor this week

I chose this cute gingerbread man available HERE

I'm still continuing to practice with my Spectrum Noir Aqua pens from Crafters Companion and thought that the slight texture of the watercolour card together with the watercolour shaded effect might work quite well with the gingerbread man, It's a different technique to colouring with alchol pens, much quicker and several ways to do it, I think I did ok - practice is the key here - I'll keep trying, he's not just an all over flat colour and that's what I wanted to  acheive.  I also glittered all the white with glamour dust fine glitter - it looks lovely and sparkly in real life - but I don't think I've quite got it in the photogragh
