Loads of Challenges In One Post!!

I've made these cards over the past few days but as my time this week seems to have been consumed with being at Nursery with Dylan I've not had a chance to photograph them!
Today I was able to leave him for a few hours so I got a chance to photograph them! He's doing really well though and came home with a smiley sticker today!
Pollycraft Challenge, Sketch Saturday and Cute Card Thursday
This card covers 3 challenges, Pollycraft which is doodling, the sketch is from Sketch Saturday and Cute Card Thursday ask you to use one of your Christmas presents on your card.
I've coloured the Pollycraft Woodland Elves image with watercolours and then highlighted with pencils, I've doodles around the image and done some faux stitching in the corners. This stamp is called Serenity and was a present off Mr Becky for Christmas (he supplied the cash and I went mad with the Pollycraft goodies lol!!) I love this sketch from Sketch Saturday, at first I worried about the corners then I realised it was a circle divided into 4!! Jo runs the challenge at Sketch Saturday and she is responsible for my blog makeover!! I really recommend the Siggi Shop if you fancy a new look!
Secret Crafter and Forever Friends Challenge

There is a fabulous sketch over at the Secret Crafter Challenge and the challenge at Forever Friends is to use your favourite colour. At the moment my favourite colour is red, but I adore the mixture of red, pink and black so I added a bit of those colours too!
The bear is again coloured with watercolours and shaded with pencils. I loved using this sketch at the Secret Crafter, I will be using it again for sure!!
Just Christmas and Birthday Cards and ABC Challenge


The sketch this week at Just Christmas and birthday cards has been created by my very special friend Linda and it's a stonker! I loved using it, well done Linda!! I've combined the sketch with the ABC Challenge which is V for Violet. It's funny because Cathy sent me this image and she is on the ABC Challenge DT!! Again I've coloured the image with watercolours and highlighted with pencils (are you bored of me saying that yet?? lol!!)

Mr Becky loved this card! I was taken aback when he said as he's usually a man of few words where crafting is concerned, but then purple is his favourite colour!! And he didn't even mention Tilda having no mouth or nose which is usually his pet hate he he!!

Thanks for looking as always!!

Love Becky xx

All gorgeous cards Becky, hard to choose a favourite as love them all. My favourite for colour combo though is the first on, stunning. Your OH sounds just like mine, when I first showed him a Tilda the first thing he said was, where's her nose and mouth...lol, then said the card was nice but he found the lack of Tilda's facial features a bit off putting, so he doesn't like Tilda's..lol. Glad to hear your little one is settling in at nursery. Joanne x

gorgeous cards Becky..
it's funny how a lot of people have a thing about the tilda's with no nose and mouth. My daughter used to say that they looked alien..lol..but i suppose the amount of peeps that do love them outweighs the latter...lol..

Bubbles said...

Gorgeous cards Becky, all of them! Just can't get motivated at the moment :0(
It's nice when your OH takes an interest in your work, not that mine does too often!!
Glad Dylan is settling in at nursery, if he's like Hollie he'll have days when he can't wait to go and others when he is not so keen. She went back today with no fuss which is good.
Looking forward to your next challenge!
