ANYTHING GOES AT CHRISTMAS CUTIES

Good Morning All,

I hope you have had a good weekend, really windy here in my part of the UK for the last couple of days, but I think today will be the best day, sunny and warm.

It's time for a new challenge at Christmas with the Cuties and it is Anything Cute and Christmas Goes with the optional Ribbons and Bows.

For my DT card I have used the cute Stamping Bella gnome stamp called "One Sip Too Many".  I've coloured him with copics and used a MFT background stamp on the red backing paper, heat embossed in white.  The sentiment is computer generated.

We hope you can join us this month and there will be a prize from the sponsors who are:

I would like to enter:

FAVOURITE EMBELLISHMENTS AT AYLI

Good Morning Everyone,

It is time for a new challenge at As You Like It and for this fortnight we would like to see your favourite embellishments on a project.

I love to add pearls, flowers and lace/ribbon on cards, more so on special occasion or, as in this case, "BIG" birthday cards.  I think they make them a little bit special and they stand out more from the rest of the cards received.

This is a card made for a friend with Maja design papers hand stitched round the edges and all the embellies added, together with a chipboard decoration. I've heat embossed the sentiment in gold onto vellum to match the gold numbers.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

HAVE YOUR SELFIE

Good Morning Everyone,

I hope you are all well and had a good weekend.  I thought I would have a play with a sketch challenge and have made this card with the Christmas Selfies set from MFT.

This is the sketch

I stamped the little elf and then coloured him with copics, cut him out with a stitched rectangle and layered him up as near as I could to the sketch.  The sentiment comes with the stamp sent and this has been heat embossed in white onto a stitched banner. 

I have used a red base card as it went well with the colour scheme. I have used snippets for all parts of the card.

PURPLE AND ? AT AYLI

Good Morning Everyone,

A new challenge at As You Like It starts today and we would like to see your projects using your favourite colour to go with purple.

I have chosen green for my DT card.  I do love purple flowers so thought green was the obvious choice and I thought I would have a go at an all over flower card.  I have embossed the images, which are from Altenew Peony Bouquet, in gold and coloured them with Zig clean colour brush pens.  I am still a novice with the pens, but do like using them for florals.

The sentiment is a freebie from a magazine.  I embossed it onto vellum, but didn't like seeing the images underneath on this one as the leaves were quite busy, so I cut a piece of the card the same size to attach with the vellum.  Tiny crystals and sequins have been added for a little sparkle.

The sponsor of the challenge is:

RIBBON, LACE OR TWINE

Good Morning Everyone,

As it is the 1st of the month it is time for a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Forum and the theme  this month is "Use Ribbon, Lace or Twine" on your Christmas projects.

For my DT card I have used Pion Design papers, distressed all round,  and added the embellishments of lace, twine and die cut poinsettia and foliage.  The foliage is from a Sizzix Tim Holtz set and the flower is from Spellbinders.  I've also added glitter to the flower and foliage.

I hope you will be able to join in this month and you can pop over here to see the inspiration from the rest of the DT.
