Harry needs a hand

Work's still going on in the kitchen and everywhere is in a muddle, so I'm staying where I feel happiest ... and making cards.

Here's five more, this time using Mo Manning's 'Harry needs a hand' digital image, coloured with marvy le plume alcohol pens (I bought a couple of lots of these from QVC in one of those 'must have' moments and have hardly used them because I confess I already have a big selection of copics and promarkers). The background paper is Craft creations Ruth Watkins Christmas 02 (cut carefully you can get all five from a 12 x 12 with a bit to spare). These colours make a change for Christmas.

I was prompted to make these by the Mo's digital challenge 103: patchwork.

It's also for:

Sentimental Sundays 75: sewing or stitching (faux on the patchwork)
Cardmadfairy 17: too early for Christmas?
Crafty boots: zoo or animal theme
Crazy amigo: animals
Little Miss Muffet 19: animals and monsters
Crafts and me 55: use a digi
Digital Tuesday 131: we like to party - celebration
Stampin' for the weekend 17: what a cutie (I think pigs can be cute! - and there are cute snowmen too)
Sew many challenges: anything goes
Penny's 63: anything goes
Creatalicious 26: anything goes
Papertake: anything goes
Crazy4challenges 107: World Cardmaking Day - anything goes - donate to charity (these will be among others sold at my sale on Saturday to raise money for Tearfund)
Lothian crafts 19: anything goes

I think this would be suitable for a boy, so I'm also linking for:

The crafty pad 141: one for the boys
Ruby's rainbow 13: for the boys
Southern girls 29: slugs and snails and puppy dog's tails - boys or men
St Luke's October: let's hear it for the boys

  26. the patchwork detail is great Hazel - good idea to make multiples of the same - I think that's why my christmas card making always fails as I make one offs and never have enough!!!!
    Thanks again for your continued support
