The miserable weather and dark mornings don't help though do they - bring back Summer I say!
I'm currently tucked up in my craft room at my desk adjacent to the radiator with large Baileys in hand and thought I'd post a couple of things I've made. I have a whole long list of more to make though - including my dear Nan's 80th birthday card.
Two more separate challenges. Please scroll down for CAS-ual Fridays and ABC Challenge.
But first I thought I'd dig out those pink Christmas papers again that I've used before and make a really girly Christmas card, but in non-traditional colours.
The stamp was from the stamp fairy, and I coloured her in promarkers to match the card. I used black card to matt and layer and a spellbinder die for the flourish. I used 3 paper flowers and coloured them in promarkers to match the image, double tied a bow for behind, and used another die for the and flourish (I think this is a cheery Lynne one - but can't quite remember so please don't quote me on that!). The sentiment was a wooden one, stamped with Versamark and embossed with heat it up black sparkle embossing powder and the card finished with a small amount of black stickles
This is to enter:
613 Avenue create Challenge #41 anything goes with layers
Sketch and Stash Challenge 123 - sketch (I have angled the layers but only slightly - hope this is ok..)
Christmas card challenges - Challenge #46 using pink
I would like to enter the following card into
ABC challenge W is for words.
CAS-ual Fridays CCFC 117 - in stitches (on the ribbon)
I die cut a circle, then drew feint lines in pencil so I could align the sentiments. I them stamped (firstly in red) then in black. The image is another stamp fairy one, coloured in promarkers. I then stapled a ribbon with stitching on the side.
Warmest hugs in the autumn chill
