Sleigh ride

Good afternoon folks, thanks for popping by. Just taking a few minutes to write while my Grandson is playing with his Dadgwan upstairs. Thought I would post this little offering using the same Sugar Nellie stamp I used last week.

I used a Papermania Christmas word stamp to create the background which I then embossed with white and inked with Tim Holtz ' Faded Jeans' and 'Broken China'. I cut a circle out with a Spellbinders die to reveal the image on the lower layer. I coloured this with Copics and added some frontage to crate the snow effect. The stars and snowflakes were cut from plain white card, gems from the stash. The image layer was edged in 'Faded Jeans' and the heat embossed top layer was mounted on top on foam pads.

I am going to enter the following challenges:-

Crafty little fairies:- Anything goes

Creative Inspirations :- Anything goes

Bye for now

A Special Christmas

Morning all. Still struggling with my wrist, so today's card has been a couple of days in the making, still its kept me sane. The stamp was a purchase from a bargain bucket last January. I love a bargain, and you can pick up some gems if you are in the right place at the right time and save some cash.

The stamp is Jingle bells from Sugar Nellie, the paper is from those fantastic girls at LOTV. My friend went over last week and asked if I wanted anything. I didn't check my phone so missed her visit! Anyway lovely Di gave me one of each of the lovely Frosty Christmas collection so I just had to use some of them. I used Copics to colour and edged the papers with frayed burlap from Tim Holtz. The card I bought from Lidl last year, I told you I liked a bargain. The doily like the ribbon and gems was from the stash.

I am going to enter it into the following challenges:-

Ribbon Girl:- Colour challenge

Allsorts:- Ribbons and Bows

Sketch Saturday:- #281 

Creative Inspirations:- Autumn colours

Sketch n stash :- no 124

Crafty Ribbons:- Ribbons and bows

See you soon, bye

Ribbon Girls challenge

Good evening, and it really is a gorgeous evening, the sun is slowly slipping over the hill with the promise of a great sunset. 

I'm quite enjoying finding out about all these challenges and blog hopping. There are some really talented crafters out there. 

My latest find was the Ribbon girls colour challenge. This month it is peach/orange. I thought this 

would fit the bill so here goes, nothing ventured nothing gained.

The stamp is from Sugar Nellie - Pillow Talk, its quite a sassy stamp. I have no idea what make the papers are, I bought them ages ago and added them to my stash. I really must use what I've got before I buy some more, well perhaps not. My friend Di says she doesn't need to buy any more and to stop her if she is tempted to buy. However, I know she does when I'm not there to notice!

The embellishments are made from various punches and a Marianne swirl I bought ages ago at my first trip to the September Harrogate show. It must be getting time for that again. The greeting is from LOTV.

Any way I better finish loading the dishwasher or the beep will wake the dog up when it finishes late tonight!
