Snow Much Fun

I have managed to do another Christmas card. I am entering this into Quixotic challenge No6 here Seeing Stars. Well I hope this qualifys as I only have 1 star on it. I have used Bazzill Cardstock and a Penny Black Image which I have coloured with Aqua colour Pencils. I have used Stickles for snow, Sakura pen on snowflakes and Art Institute glitter on mat layer. Embellishments from my old fav kit from QVC. I hope you enjoy your visit and I do love to hear from you.
Will have lots more time after Christmas as I retire Christmas Eve. Whoo hoo, can't wait.
Have a great week and thanks to everyone who visits and leaves me a comment.

Friday Sketchers 80

This is my card for the challenge at Friday Sketchers . It is a lovely sketch this week and I hope I have done it justice. My image is a download from the The Greeting Farm and I have coloured it with Copic pens. This is the first time I have used these and I love them. Only have a few colours at the moment but I can see that changing. My base card is Bazzill Sea Breeze, BG papers are Magenta and SU. Flowers and ladybird were in a kit that I had from QVC several years ago. Ribbon is SU. Mock stitching around mat with Sakura pen. Thanks for looking and I welcome all comments.

The Sugar Bowl Challenge 24

This week over at The Sugar Bowl the challenge is a sketch by Marlene and also to include Zig Zag. I thoroughly enjoyed doing this card, fabulous sketch to work from. I have used Going for a Spin Sugar Nellie stamp. She is coloured with watercolour pencils and I have chalked around the image. Cut out with the Big Shot top note die. Background papers are all stampin up and ribbon and gems were from stash. I have used the sewing machine to zig zag around the edge. This is my first Easel card and I was thrilled at how simple they are to do. Butterfly charm from an old QVC kit. Having some problems with the camera but hope these are ok for now.
All comments are very much appreciated. Thanks for looking and have a great week.

Special Christmas Card

This is the Parchment card I have made for my parents this year. I was pleased with this one when I finished it. The flowers are actually from a sheet of Vellum which I have embossed and cut around, then attached to my base parchment card. Thanks for looking.

Friday Sketchers 76

Hi,
Today I have attempted the sketch that Aud supplied for the challenge at the Friday Sketchers Blog
I have used Dovecraft Victorian Christmas papers, Image is A Stampin Up one from the set Snow Angels. I have used SU inks to colour, Ballet Blue, Bravo Burgundy and Night of Navy. Used my new Nestabilities Labels to mount the image on. Snowflake is from an old Christmas set from QVC.
Used dimensionals to raise text and main image.
Inside is quite plain, but then I don't normally bother. Trying different things. Enjoy

Parchment craft Birthday card.

This card was a nightmare to do. There was such a lot of cutting to do on it. I must say I wasn't sorry when it was finished. This was for my Sister in Law's Birthday. Needless to say this is one design I will not be repeating. I found this pattern in an issue of Parchcraft Mag. Thanks for looking. Marion
