ADD A HAT

 Morning Everyone,

This is my reminder post for Christmas Craft Creations where the theme this months is 'Add a Hat'.

For my card I have used a Conie Fong image coloured with copics and with added glitter to his hat and glossy accents to the berries.  Small snowflakes, pearls and the sentiment finish it off.  A fairly simple card but I am happy with how it has turned out.  

There are 3 prizes on offer and there is still plenty of time to enter as closing date is Tuesday 12th December.

CONIE FONG GUEST DT TAKE 2

Good Morning Everyone,

This is my second card as Guest DT for Conie Fong using the cute Tori the Dragon-Up. You can find the image here in the Etsy store.

                          

I really enjoyed colouring this little fella and was quite pleased with how he turned out.  I coloured him with copics and used my MFT mini cloud stencil for the background.  The paper is from a MFT pad and the sentiment is computer generated.

I have used Flutterby Daisy which can be found here on Etsy where she does have some lovely images.

SPRING FLOWERS

Good Morning Everyone,

I was looking for a card to send someone the other day and realised I am short of birthday cards so this is one I have made over the weekend as a start to replenish my stock.

It is a Conie Fong image called Spring Flowers, which I have coloured with copics and cut out with a Spellbinder fancy oval die.  The flowered and green papers are from LOTV and the blue is a snippet found in one of my boxes.  The embellishments are also made up of snippets, i.e. the labels which are from Mama Elephant, the flower and the little butterfly.

I originally made this for a 6" card but when I tried it on a 7" I thought it look a lot better with a large white border.

I would like to enter:

Pixie's Snippets Playground - use snippets

Passion for Markers - Use 3 or more papers

Simon Says Stamp Weds - Favourite technique (die cutting)

Crafty Hazelnuts Patterned Paper - Use patterned paper

Classic Design challenge - Anything Goes

Thank you for visiting and I hope you have a good week.

FAVOURITE WAY TO ADD RIBBON?

 Good Morning Everyone,

As you can see from the title our new theme at As You Like It involves ribbon.  We would like you to show us your favourite way of adding ribbon to your projects.

This is a card for my daughter's birthday and I have used a Conie Fong image and coloured her with copics.  I've inked the edges of the papers with Antique Linen DI and also hand stitched.

I don't use ribbon as much as I used to but when I do a favourite way is to attach a piece around part of the card and then add a separate bow.  I'm not very good with bow makers so usually make a bow by wrapping around my fingers.

Little tags from Mama Elephant, a few flowers and pearls finish it off.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

with a prize for the lucky winner
