Writing Santa

At Crafty Bloggers Network we are being sponsored this month by Just Some Lines.  This time I've used 'Writing Santa' digi image, colouring with Spectrum Noirs.  The papers and paper bow are Papermania, 'Christmas in the Country'.  I've also used a Cuttlebug embossing folder, Spellbinders dies, glitter, ribbon, a border punch and a gem.

There's still time to enter your cards at Crafty Bloggers Network and the theme is easy - Christmas!

CASE Challenge at ABC Challenges

This week at ABC Challenges we are CASEing design team member's cards.  We'd like you to choose any DT member's card and CASE it!

 I chose Ann Marie's card from 1.7.13, I loved the watercolour feel to the image and the layout:

I used a favourite stamp, Hero Arts Poppies, inked with Broken China and then sprayed with water to get the watercolour look, the papers are Carte Postale.

This will be our final challenge for the year at ABC Challenges so we hope you'll all join in!  It's been fun working with a lovely Design Team and we'll see you again in January!

Poppy Card and Candle Gift Set

 

 

Our Wednesday evening craft group started by the lovely Áine is going strong, crafting and great craic with lovely crafty people!  I had fun with candles and tissue paper, I gold embossed this Hero Arts poppy stamp onto white tissue paper before colouring with Copics, then melting onto the candle.  I stamped a card to match.

Kids cards at ABC Challenges

Over at ABC Challenges we are making cards for children.  I chose Papermania's Tilly Daydreams A4 paper pack, with its cute decoupage and pretty embellishments I thought it would be perfect for a child's card.  Sorry about the terrible photo, the light is dire here this morning!

Anything Goes at Crafty Bloggers Network

Yup, it's Anything Goes this month at Crafty Bloggers Network so let's see your cards!

Our sponsor is the fabulous Rick St Dennis and I chose this image, North Pole, colouring it lightly with Antique Linen and Broken China distress inks and water.  I used Basic Grey Aspen Frost papers and tree and snowflake die cuts.  The little tree was cut from double sided sticky backed paper, I poured glitter over it before peeling off the backing and sticking it down.  The flower ribbon and pearls are from The Ribbon Girl.

See you later with another card
