RUDOLF CHALLENGE........MAY 2016

Hi and welcome to all my very talented friends, and visitors.

Well we have arrived at the 25th of the month yet again, and it's time to post the Rudolf Challenge card for this month.
Joining in this wonderful challenge gets some of your Christmas cards made earlier than you would normally do.
The challenge runs from the 25th of the month to the end of the month over on Srappymo's Blog.
So feel free to join this great challenge.
My card is a bit out of my comfort zone.
Those of you may know I won Mary H's candy, and in my wonderful goodies she provided was this glorious Penny Black stamp.
I tried to follow the colouring on the photo of the stamp as best as I could.
So here is what I made with it.



This is a 6"x7" size card.
I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.
I then coloured it with Derwent Water Colouring Pencils on water colour card.
I added some stickles, and white pen for the snow drops.
I don't know how I did it, but I dropped a bit of red colour on the right hand side, and didn't have time to do it again.
So hopefully you think it's okay.

Thank you so much for your visit, and time.
Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges.

Oh WOW! You have made me so happy that you were able to use this win so beautifully! Your coloring is just phenomenal, (I'm not great with pencils - so I'm very impressed!) The sky is just breathtaking with the effect you've achieved, and I had to go back to find the 'red smear'. That's just sunlight glistening off that snow! Also love the superb coloring on little Rob, and the sparkle of the snowflakes too. This is just a wonderful card, makes me feel very pleased to see the PB has found a good home! Big hugs. TFS
