V is for Vibrant

Good Morning,

This year seems to just be flying past so i'm going to try & get a jump on Christmas in the next few days as i always seem to be flapping at the last minute.

On to today's card & it's challenge time again over at The ABC Challenge & the theme is 'V is for Vibrant'. I did find this a little hard as i'm not very good at really bold colours but hopefully i have done it justice.


I have coloured this cute owl from Oak Pond Creations up using Copic's, his name is Otis the wizard.
I was a bit scared to colour him at first as I haven't coloured a lot of animals but I am really pleased with how it turned out.


Our terrific sponsors this time are


Offering 3 digis of winners choice. 

Here's a little information about Oak Pond Creations. 

"I have always loved arts and crafts. It's relaxing, therapeutic and just plain fun. I discovered card crafting about 3 years ago and I've been hooked ever since.  Greeting cards are such a fun gift to give and an excellent way to express your feelings to another person.  I wanted to make my cards original and personal by creating my own artwork.  In 2012 I opened the Oak Pond Creations Studio to share these images with the crafting community.  I hope they motivate, inspire and spark your creativity. 
Hugs and happy crafting! -Kim."

I have coloured them up using Copics & Pro Markers & have distressed the edges using the Tim Holts tool.
