Merry Christmas – Tag

Welcome!

Tonight’s Christmas card uses a very old and well used cheap shop foam stamp for the lights. The tag is an old Stampin’ Up set.  They have been coloured with Tombow markers.  I added glossy accents to the lights.

Challenges:  Happy Little Stampers – Christmas November 2017 – Anything Goes – Optional Tag, Uniko Challenge#44 – Christmas, Paper Players – #372, Less is More #356 – Let it Shine  and I love Allsorts – …………..Inspired by a Christmas Carol or a Winter Themed Song.  I chose  – It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas.

  

  

Cheers

Don’t Open Until DECEMBER 25 – Tag

 

It is that time of year and I have been busy making  some Christmas cards.  This gift card is  one of them.  I just love white on white any time but especially at Christmas.

The top tag uses a texture paste background onto which I added Memory Box – Quinn Flourish die and a Kaisercraft embossed tag.  White Wink of Stella added some extra shine to the die cut and paste snow dots. So shiny IRL.

Challenges: Simon Says Stamps – Wednesday Challenge – Snow White, CAS on Friday – Challenge #120 – Numbers, The Merry Christmas Challenge – # 42 Anything Goes + Christmas – Optional: SNOW and Wednesday’s Creative Inspirations – Challenge 283 – Sparkle!

Thanks – Leaves

Welcome

I had some left over card from when I was playing with my Brusho powders, so I decided to use them for this card.  I splattered some gold paint to give a bit of extra interest.

The dies are from Bo Bunny Lovely Leaf and Winnie & Walter ‘The Big, the Bold and You Cutaways.

Challenges:  Addicted to CAS – Leaves, Just Us Girls – Word Week #418 – Thankful, and  Winnie & Walter – October Color Combo with Heather H. (Challenge).

     

Thank you so much for visiting

Happy Birthday – Daisy on Kraft

Hello again

On this card I was playing with my Prismacolor pencils on Kraft cardstock.

The flowers are Altnew’s Spring Daisy set and Mama Elephant – Birthday Wishes sentiment. IRL the sentiment is very pretty with a little shine, as it is stamped using Brilliance Lightning Black ink.

Challenges: Seize the Birthday – Kraft Topping, Curtain Call – November 1 – Cider and Welcome to Crafting From the Heart – CHALLENGE 182 – Anything goes.

 

    

Thanks for being so supportive
