Dusky Pink Angels

Morning everyone out there in blogland. Just having a little break before I varnish the window sills my hubby ruined when the water he was washing the brickwork with came through the window!

 I started today's card last night while all was quiet, after the Strictly results show. (Sad to see Dave go but it was probably his time.) I was going through my examples ,seeking inspiration when I came across my friend Di's Christmas card from last year. So I decided to make my take on it.

I had one eye on the latest LOTV challenge 'Pink and white', so I used the three angels and some NitWits papers in a dusky pink on an off white linen card for a vintage look.

The  NitWits, 'Warm Fuzzies' papers were edged in Tim Holtz 'Vintage Photo' then mounted on the off white card edged also in 'Vintage Photo' The inner paper was over stamped in Vintage Photo using a LOTV music stamp and texture stamps from Hobby Art. The angels smocks were coloured using Copics in RV95,R 59,81 and 85. Some Stickles were used to glitz up the clouds and crowns. The snowflakes were cut from the same off white card with centers made from blobs of Glossy Accents covered in glitter. Buttons and ribbons from the stash.

Well must get on with the varnishing. Bye for now.

Pretty in Pink

Evening all. Well the nights are closing in and someone down the road has had their Christmas lights up since the beginning of the month. Think that's a bit too soon myself. It's also Breast Cancer awareness month, a cause very close to my heart.In view of this I thought I would post another Christmas inspired card with a little bit of pink! Its using the same LOTV angel stamp as before but on a larger scale card.

I just love these cute little angels. The paper is Nit Wits Merry and Bright mounted on lime card. The paper and card is edged in Tim Holtz 'Tumbled Glass' The angels smocks are coloured in Copic using RV21,23, 29 (although they don't look pink in the picture) as are the poinsettia sepals. I used a Sizzix labels die to cut the image and mount and a Lecrea poinsettia die. The large snowflake was from a Sizzix die. Ribbon as always from the stash. 

I will enter it for the following challenges:-

Not a square

Good afternoon. Still no life in my laptop so have been looking at getting a new one. Husband has asked me to look at some on line but I don't know one from another, except I don't want the latest Windows. It drove me mad when I used it on another computer. 

Anyway while I haven't been able to blog I have been making and I think I have managed to down load a few pictures.

I made a couple of easel cards, this is the smaller one which I think I like best,

The image is from LOTV and the papers are Merry and Bright from Nit Wits. I used Copics to colour the image and Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink to edge. The snowflakes were from a Martha Stewart Artic snowflake punch with crystals from the stash. The die cuts are from a Sizzix Framelets- Labels die set.

I am entering this into:-

Creative Inspirations Challenge - Not a square or rectangle 

Ribbon Girls - Make it Sparkly

Bye for now, thanks for stopping by.
