Have A Gift Christmas

Morning all!

:-)

Another miserable day here in Glasgow!

Here is today's make!

Topper is a Forever Friends stamp inked with Momento ink which was then coloured with Promarkers.

I used Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and fabric flowers as embellishments in the corners with a hint of the DoCrafts golden berries to add some warmth.

I had some of the blue twine which I used instead of ribbon and the sentiment was edge distressed with the tim holtz tool.

Glossy accents was used to cover the candi dots and the edges of the image for decoration!

Christmas at Night

Today's make so far!

This one in my head was a simple idea and I suppose it is, but all the faffing with making a circular aperture card was just irritating!

Worth it though!

Have a look :)

The night sky was done using Inkylicious brushes with Momento and Distress inks with mountain templates.

The image was then stamped with tinted embossing ink and then heat embossed with Heat It Up Silver powder.

The patterned paper on the front section was from a Christmas signature series linen paper pack by DC and was mounted on a piece of card for extra strength as I wanted it sitting out in a 3d effect from the background.

Silver peel offs were used as an accent and then the Wild Orchid Crafts flowers were added and highlighted with diamond dust as a snow effect and the sentiment was stamped from an Inkylicious stamp set in Versafine Ink, The edges of the sentiment were distressed with the Tim Holtz paper distress tool I reviewed before (see tutorials in the menu above).

I added some sparkles with some sticky jewels at the center of the snowflakes and used some of the paper Candi dots with Anita's Glossy Accents to look like brads.

September's friendship card swap

With being signed off from work with my back playing up again, I managed to make another card!

This time it was for the friendship card swap on Docrafts forums! :)

Love to shop decoupage with highlights of sakura glitter pens.
Distressed love to shop papers and decorative paper flowers with buttons as centres.
I also used the Dovecraft paper lace heart as a backing also.

Sentiment and card base edged with metallic silver pen.

Thanks for looking!!

New cosmic card.

New card made in the wee hours when I couldn't sleep.
Distressed edged papers with scissors.
Perfect pearls used on purple circle and topper backing paper with stamps from perfect impressions and V & A.
Martha Stewart punches used for butterfly's and yellow edge butterfly's. Decorative dots were random embellishment from Mum's stash.
Used glossy accents on dots and elements of topper.
