WINTER WONDERLAND - EMBOSSING - WET OR DRY

Hello again!

I seem to be having a busy week blogging this week!

I was honoured a few weeks ago to be asked to join a lovely new DT.

WINTER WONDERLAND

For most of the year it is Christmas based and I just love Xmas!

So how could I refuse!

So today is my very first post for this DT and I hope I do it justice.

The theme is EMBOSSING - WET OR DRY

The sponsor for this challenge is KENNY K STAMPS so huge thank you to them.

I used image SNOWMAN

This is what I did with him....

And I used these Copics to colour him....

I started with a 6x4 red card base. I used a strip of holly paper about 2ins wide and adhered it to the left side. I placed a vintage style winter topper to top right and below that placed an EMBOSSED sentiment..(no pun intended on the sentiment). I placed a some handmade holly on the Snowmans hat band and another piece at the top left.

All in all a very cute card. I love Winter and Christmas!

Please do visit our other DT members blogs for more inspiration.

We look forward to seeing your entries!

Thank you for stopping by today

Good morning!

A new challenge starts today over at
CCC DIGI CREATIONS
and I am very honoured to have been asked to be a GUEST DESIGNER for this challenge.
Many thanks to Lisa and Eileen. 

And the lovely sponsor for the challenge is...
DOCTOR DIGI

I used the image SIMPLY SANTA

So here is my GD project

I used a 6x4 red base card and a red paper to layer the front.
I placed a vintage style tag in top left corner, a red fabric poinsettia in the top right corner and a Xmas sentiment in the bottom left corner. I adhered the image to a frame using sticky pads to give it depth, then placed the framed image in the bottom right corner. On the inside I placed a framed verse card.

These are the Copics I used to colour the image.

And thats my GD project.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

JADE'S SPARKLING BUTTERFLIES #16

Good morning!

A new challenge starts today over at
JADE'S SPARKLING BUTTERFLIES

And our lovely sponsor is...
CHING-CHOU KUIK

Here is my inspiration card...I did not use an image for this challenge.

I made this cute Holy Communion Dress Box and Card. You can place a small gift inside the box.

The cutting file is from Silhouette Online Store and it was cut out on my silhouette Cameo.
I cut out some tiny flowers for the front of the dress and slotted ribbon through the holes in the back and front to close the box and tied it in a bow at the front.
I cut a small card 4x4 in the same card, made a small sentiment 'Holy communion' and placed it at the top of the card. In the centre I placed a small chipboard embellishment.
Everything I used came from my stash.

And thats my DT card for this time.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

JADE'S SPARKLING BUTTERFLIES #15

Hello and welcome to another DT post from me.

Today sees the start of a new challenge at

JADE'S SPARKLING BUTTERFLIES

And our wonderful sponsors are

CRAFTY SENTIMENTS

and

KARLEIGH SUE 

The theme for this challenge is

DIE CUTS OR PUNCHES

Quite a lot of scope there!!

I chose the image LAND GIRL WW2 from Karleigh Sue

So here is what I came up with for your inspiration.

This is such a cute image!

Again everything I used came from my huge! stash.

I used some number and word stickers from a G45 collection, BOTANICABELLA.

Its full of rich Autumn colours and was perfect for this WW2 image.

Again I coloured the image with Copics.

I tore around the edges of the image and distressed the edges.

I die cut a tiny rabbit and a couple of birds.

Hope you like what I did!
