NON-TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS COLOURS

 Morning Everyone,

This is my reminder post for Christmas Craft Creations where the theme is "Non-Traditional Christmas Colours".

I've gone with a die set from Honey Bee Stamps called Winter Village and have cut the buildings in unusual colours for a Christmas card and used some teal snowy paper for the background which is from  a Whimsy Stamps pad. I must say these dies were really fiddly to use and I had to make it in stages as it was taking so long, but it was good for using up small scraps.

Hammered card was torn across for the snow and I heat embossed the sentiment in silver.

I hope you can join us, there are two prizes on offer and the challenge doesn't close until 7th May so still plenty of time to enter.

CLEAN OR FUSSY?

Morning Everyone,

It's time for the start of a new challenge over at As You Like It and the theme is "Clean or Fussy?". 

A lot of my cards seem to be a lot cleaner and flatter than they used to be and that's mainly because of the cost of posting.    I still like to add a few pearls etc though and, because this one wasn't being posted, I added a bobtail to the little rabbit.

I have used a Tracey Hey stamp which is quite large (this is a 7"x7"card) and coloured it with copics.  The sentiment also comes with the set and little hearts and clear drops finish it off.

CUTE OR FLORAL?

Morning Everyone,

A new challenge starts over at As You like It this morning and we are asking whether you prefer to make cute or floral projects and why. 

 I have made more floral recently. I give quite a few cards to an aunt to give to her friends so floral are much more suitable than cute cards, but I still make cute ones for children.  

This card is made with a layering set from Honey Bee stamps called Vintage roses.  I cut all the flowers from snippets of white card and inked them up with a set of Altenew mini cubes in shades of yellow. The background was cut from green card and shaded a bit with green ink.  The middles were cut from dark brown card so I inked the sentiment in brown to match.

The sponsor for the challenge is:
