Another Wee Christmas


I'm loving this new stamp, I chose this paper by My Minds Eye, as it's snowing at the moment so a very "now" Christmas card, almost done, just some to take in on Monday & I can have a BIG clearup.
How is everyone else getting on?
just a quick visit I'm off to see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang on ice which is also appropriate, I hope my car doesn't go skidding along to the ice rink.
Many thanks for any comments as they are always appreciated.

This is the first time I've used it, & did challenge on dc which is cream & one other colour, plus new craft item.
I've used promarkers which I'm gradually getting the hang of, DB Bauble coloured to match, cream pearlescant card & the same in paper for the flower which has been distressed & sprayed with glimmer mist. Swirl stamp using cream chalk & K&Co BP.
I will add a sentiment later as not decided where she's going yet.

Tilda is mounted on oval nesties, borders are punched with MS loops border punch & flowers are punched with EK flower punches & are spritzed with gold glimmer & distressed for the challenge & fixed with brads,red ribbon.

Tilda challenge on DC


The Second or first whichever way you look at it is a Tilda challenge The Silver Screen. I have used Edwin who is perfeft for JAWS I think, or am I being a bit wicked.
i have watercoloured him too (not quite getting the hang of the promarkers)
I added a shark download & used Imaginesce Backing paper & card for sand & sign & a bit of glitter on the water round the shark.

Two challenge cards on DC


Well it's cold wet & dark here, totally miserable, not a day for venturing out, except my idiot son who went to the football match today.
T
he first one is PB Challenge all one colour I've used Gazing Shepherd mounted in a circle nestie & used BP from DCWV I Cuttlebug snowflakes embossing folder.
This is the first time with this cute image & I think he is so angelic, remember when my son looked just like this & was a shepherd in the Nativity plays.

Challenge card for Friday sketchers PBSC & Tuesday taggers


I hope it#s ok to combine three challenges, I've used the sketch for Friday Sketchers & the theme which is Halloween for the others.
I have used PB Dressed to Scare & used promarkers for the very first time, must admit I found them really clumsy as I'm used to watercolours & not too sure about the blending. I just got them at the secc yesterday.
The papers & the bat are from K&co & sentiment is Hero Arts, also added sticky ribbon
Thank you for taking the time to look & for any comments which are always appreciated

Just Magnolia challenge


This is Tilda with pencils, I had this stamp a while & haven't used her.

I have watercoloured Tilda & used nesties circles, Basic Grey BP, some sticky ribbon & school stickers which I found , I had used my last apple button this week & couldn't find another locally, so these stickers were the best option, keeping with the schoolgirl theme.

I hope this is ok for the challenge. Thanks Ann x

I've been going down to the beach recently to help with a chest infection, I should go more often, it's a shame we just take for granted what's on our doorstep.

Another PB challenge on DC


The challenge was anything but Christmas, a different shape & three colours.

I've use PB Dressed to Scare, as I don't get enough use of this stamp & I think it's a real fun one.

I made a witches hat shape with the large oval nestie & cut a triangle, circle nesties for image & some peel off stars, decoupaged the balloon.

Thank you for any comments left, I very much appreciate them
