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:-

Crafty Little Fairies:- Christmas in October

Crafty Ribbons :- Anything goes with Ribbon 

A Creative Romance:- Pink

Its only Christmas

Morning all. I'm now in Christmas card mode as I have finished my hubby's birthday card. I will post it later as I'm still struggling to download pictures that can't be scanned.

This is a card I made using a Micheal Powell stamp I bought last year.

The shape and size I found tricky but I mounted it on silver mirror card then dark blue card. The base card I stamped with a LOTV music stamp in Momento Ink 'London Fog' and edged in Tim Holtz 'Broken China'.

The image was coloured using Copics as follows.

Sky:- B93,95,97,99,BG01

Trees:- YG61,63,67

Snow:- C1,2,3,5,7

Houses:- BG01, RV000,02, R00, 02,

       E02,08, 35,37, Y00,02

Stars:-Y00, 06, YR16

Baubles:- V09,YR07,Y06,B05, YG06, R27

The baubles were then glazed to give a 3D effect.

The snowflakes are from two Sizzix dies in silver and white and a smaller green Woodware one in white. Crystal Stickles around the edge of the silver mount. 

Hope you like it. While looking around the blog world for inspiration I happened upon this site

Copic Marker Norge. Their latest challenge is Anything goes- its only Christmas.

I think this card fits the brief so here goes.

See you soon.

Christmas for the boys

Afternoon all. I'm still without my own laptop but am sort of OK with the loan of husband's backup one. I'm still working on his card but I have another week to get it sorted. In the meantime here is one card I made for Christmas.

I made it using George from last Christmas's Molly Bloom set. The star I cut freehand from a piece of embossed white card then edged in Tim Holtz 'Broken China' distressed ink. The ribbon is a Docrafts design from years ago and the snowflakes are punched from silver and white card with a Woodware green punch. The white ones I inked with Copics. The sentiment stamp is from LOTV and I personalized the middle with a name and mounted it on a spellbinder inverted scallop circle in silver. I coloured George using Copics.

Wellies:-C1,2,5,7

Snowflakes, Scarf n mittens:- BG000,01,05

Face:- E000,00,11 R11

Trousers and jacket:- B93,95,97,99

The whole lot was mounted on textured blue paper from the stash and double mounted onto silver.

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

Christmas sweet stampin challenge - Christmas for men 

In the Country

Good afternoon, thanks for dropping by. What an awful Sunday it is, rain rattling on the roof and lights on just so you can see. Just the day for holing up in my craftroom and getting crafty. 

I am still without a computer and I am having to borrow my husband's work one. All my links and bookmarks have gone with the old computer so I can't find some of my new challenges. Never mind, it made me find some new ones! The only problem is finding pictures of my cards to enter as although I managed the last picture it was not the usual quality. 

I have been making a card for my son to give his dad on his birthday in a couple of weeks. 

I love the LOTV stamp 'In The Country' and it is just the right image for this card. I also recently found a Hobby Art stamp of Sheep in a field, so I decided to put them together and used the sketch from my last Sketch Saturday entry, plus a LOTV greeting. Hopefully I can download a picture unlike last night when I tried!

I coloured the image using Copics AS FOLLOWS

Skin:- E000,E00,E11, R11

Sky:- B000, B00, BG02, C1,C3, E50

Trees and fields:- YG 11, YG13, YG17, YG00, YG61, YG63,YG67, G99

House and wall :- E02,E09, E08, BV25, C3, C5, C7

Fence:- E42,E43,E47,E71,E77

The cap was stamped on patterned paper and edged in E71, E77

Coat :- E71, E77, E79

Jeans:-BG93, BG95, BG97

Dog:- E31, E33, E35

The backing papers were NitWits In the Meadow mounted on some craft paper and all edged in Tim Holtz frayed burlap distress ink.

The string was from the utility room and the tape from the stash.

I am going to enter this card in the following challenges:-

The Ribbon Girls:- Lili of the Valley, Anything goes

Sir Stampalot Challenge:- All Creatures Great and Small

The ABC Challenge:- W for words

Thanks for dropping by.

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.
