Another one for the Christmas Stash

The backing paper is from Crafters Companion A Winter's Tale. I've coloured a House Mouse image using Promarkers and added a snowy sparkle using Flowersoft Polar White and then sprinkled with fine glitter. I used the same fine glitter around the edge of the image before mounting onto card that matches the base card.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges this week:

Sketch Saturday - 163
Stampalot July- Anything Goes
Bah Humbug - Meeces
My Time to Craft - A La Carte
CHNC - Spots before your eyes
Sparkles Christmas Challenge - Glitter

Sugar Nellie Challenge 63 - Erika's Sketch

I've been playing in the sugar bowl again and used Erika's sketch and the Sugar Nellie stamp "Luv a Latte".

For the backing paper and the flowers I've used a new CD called Paper Flower Boutique by Debbees CDs. There are some lovely things on this CD.

All finished off with some Marianne Dies flourishes, ribbon and brads.

LOTV Challenge 104 - Sketch by Donalda

I've really enjoyed using this sketch for the LOTV challenge this week. I coloured the image using Promarkers and used Milled Lavender Distress Ink around the edges of the papers.

Friday Bath Night

I've used nestie dies to cut the octagonal shapes. The House Mouse image has been coloured using Promarkers.

The spotty backing paper is a 12x12 sheet that I've had in my stash for at least a couple of years but I've finally plucked up the courage to cut into it!


I'm entering this card for the following challenges:

House Mouse & Friends 99 - Make a Splash
Sketch N Stash - 65

Snow Lady

I started by printing a backing paper from a very old CD that I haven't looked at for years (!) It is from Chris's Paperworx Christmas WOW Backing Papers. Hands up anyone who has one of these lol!

I stamped the snow lady and coloured in using Promarkers before cutting out and adding glitter. The stamp is called Alice by Inca Stamp.

I then took a piece of white silk art card and created some colour using Tim Holtz alcohol inks and blending solution. Once this had dried I then used an embossing folder and my Cuttlebug. I cut some snowflakes out of acetate and pink card and held these together with a snowflake brad. To finish off I mounted a greeting onto acetate and cut it out. I then used clear sticky pads to attach it to the card.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Bah Humbug - 26 Acetate
CD Sunday - Christmas is Calling
CHNC - 27 Pink/Purple
The Stamp Man - Alcohol Inks and a sketch

Sketch Saturday - No. 162

I've taken a digi image from Cuddly Buddly and coloured with Promarkers. The backing papers are from my stash. The paper flowers are over stamped with a little cupcake image I have and the fork and spoon are die cuts. I used my sewing machine to stitch the backing papers together.
