Baker girl

   This image of the baker girl is free from Art By Barb until the end of the January facebook colour along with a child challenge which ends on January 30th.
   I coloured it using Promarkers and after cutting it out using a Tattered Lace decorative edge square I threaded narrow satin ribbon left over from dressmaking through the holes. The background paper has been in my stash for some time and the  three cup cakes were cut from an old birthday card.

Bearing gifts

   I cut the lower edge of the bauble paper by Jennifer Ellory using a Tattered Lace pearl border die and matted it onto a square of paper from We R Memory Keepers. I then attached a strip of narrow ribbon at the lower edge and matted the whole onto white card.
   The digi image is from Art By Barb and is called Bearing gifts. After colouring it using Promarkers and a silver gel pen I cut it out using a Tattered Lace pearl rectangle die. The red and gold crackers which I arranged at the base of the image were cut from another Tattered Lace die.
