CHNC challenge extra for October

I can't believe that this card is for October! already! This year is going mega quickly. If you haven't started on your Christmas cards now is the time to get your skates on - and what better way than to enter my CHNC challenge extra for October where there is the chance for you to be the randomly chosen winner of £21 of digital images from Bugaboo Stamps who kindly sponsor.

My card is very simple, using printed digital snowflake paper and Noel image, both supplied by Bugaboo Stamps with a piece of lace edged ribbon across the top and a few silver (although they look gold here, they are silver) mirror punched snowflakes. The Noel image was digitally coloured in Microsoft Paint.

Cheerful Stamp Pad challenge 70: tags

This is my design team tag for Cheerful stamp pad challenge 70:  tags.This challenge is being sponsored by Lunagirl Vintage Images. This is really a fun challenge. You can have any type of theme you wish, just put it on a tag. If you happen to have an Lunagirl images, we would love to see you use them.

For this tag I used one of the pictures kindly supplied by Lunagirl, one of their labels 'woman called Anita', digitally blending this with a Dezinaworld music rose background. I printed this and mounted it on to a tag that I had lightly brushed with mustard seed and fired brick distress inks. Flowers and ribbons from stash.

This is for the colours for Cupcake inspirations 230:

More baubles for The Glory of Christmas 17

Having messed up a bit with the first card I made as my design card for The Glory of Christmas challenge 17,  I inked, stamped and embossed once more and this time it was fine. This was then mounted on to a piece of foiled Hunkydory card and then on to the A5 landscape card blank.

Please click on the link for the challenge and admire the lovely crafting of the rest of the team, including a new member, Tanja - and please join in with our challenge.

The Glory of Christmas challenge 17

This card was going to be for The Glory of Christmas challenge 17, I've used the lovely Papermania Bauble Decoration stamp.

When I stamped the image for the first card the sentiment 'Christmas Cheer' lost a bit of the 'Cheer' on the bottom edge! I didn't want to waste this so I decided to separately stamp the sentiment and mount it on to silver mirror card to match the piece surrounding the image. Everything was inked with versamark and heat embossed with detail silver powder. A couple of strips of glittery silver on the left finished the card off. This is an A5 landscape card - the image is quite large, so needs a large card blank.
