WINTER FLORA

 Morning Everyone,

As part of my crafty day yesterday I managed to finish the image on my card below and get it made onto a card.



It is a digi image called Winter Flora from Power Poppy and when I had finished colouring with copics I thought it warranted an older style paper so out came my First Edition papers called A Christmas Story. I have matted all layers with a gold paper and also heat embossed the sentiment from LOTV in gold.  I was a bit worried how the sentiment would turn out as it is a grey rubber one so had to have a practice on a piece of scrap first to make sure it was straight.  

The card doesn't look it's best in the photo, but I can assure you everything is straight.  I think it's the dotty paper that gives the impression that it looks a bit wonky.

I would like to enter:

Thank you for your visit and I will be back later in the week.

HO HO HO

 Hello Everyone,

I hope you've had a good weekend.  It's been such a miserable day here today I've been having a play in the craft room and managed to get two cards finished.

I have a basket of unused stamps and after having a search through it I thought I would colour this stamp up.


It's from a rubber set by LOTV called North Pole and I haven't used any of them!  The stamp isn't that big so the finished card is a C6 size.  I have coloured with copics to match the little snippets of paper top and bottom and used my mini scalloped die to edge the image and a red mat for the whole thing.  Liquid pearls and glitter have also been used.

I would like to enter:

Thank you for stopping by and I will be back soon.

LAYERED OR FLAT?

Morning Everyone, 

I hope you are all well.  We're just getting over anotthr bout of Covid in our house for the second time and just beginning to come out of it now.

I haven't felt like crafting much but did manage to make this simple card for the new challenge over at   As You Like It where we would like to see your favourite of either layered or flat projects.


My cards always have layers even if, like this one, they are flat enough to go normal letter size.  I only tend to go bigger if I know a card is going to be hand delivered.  I have used a precoloured image from an old LOTV art pad and cut it out with a Spellbinders die.  The sentiment is from a Penny Black set and heat embossed in gold and the papers are also old LOTV.

The sponsor for the challenge is:
