I am so pleased I found this challenge blog -
Stamps and Smiles because last week was the first time I entered, and I won!! So thank you to the DT for picking me!!
This week is another lovely sketch and to add to my growing Christmas box (it is now at the proportions of a cardboard storage box!) I made a Christmas card:
Papers are from the new
Blue Christmas wordbook download from Funky Hand - I've used 3 of the complementary A4 papers from it (the third is under the image!) I've coloured the Penny Black image with watercolour paints and added a little glitter glue for sparkly snow.
Grosgrain ribbon is from my stash as too are the pearlescent snowflakes and gems. I've used my Spellbinders Nesties to cut the image out and to layer it as I thought it need a bit more shape.
I doubt very much that lightening will strike twice, but I have enjoyed this challenge and some lovely inspiration from the DT!
- Backing papers: Blue Christmas wordbook download from Funky Hand
- Image: Penny Black coloured with watercolour paints and a little glitter glue
- Dies: Spellbinder Nestabilities
- Everything else: My stash
And I've used papers and topper from the very soon to be released - you saw it here first folks! - template cd from Polkadoodles called Paper Boutique. The little car does actually have a rear but I've not shown it on the card. The cd has around 18 to 20 different templates in A4, A5 and A6 sizes with matching backing paper collections and sentiments so you will be able to make double sided cards for all occasions!
I'll be showing more of the cd over the next few days so come back and have a look! I've used one of my Nestie dies to cut the shape out of the bottom of the card and also the aperture behind the car. I've swiss dotted the silver card. The little L plate is handwritten with a square bubble sticker over the top. Gems are from my stash.
Lots of layers to this little card!
