Let it Snow!

 Don't you love it when you find a challenge by accident

and something already in your bits box fits?

That is exactly what happened when I went to 

comment on a fellow DT card. 

Leanne DT member of Krafty Chicks Challenge

blew me away with her beautiful purple Christmas Card

for Challenge 646 Week 2 Christmas

I just had to finish it off  and

 enter into their Gallery - then add to my 2023 Christmas cards.

Background is smooched with Lindy's Magical's

Trees stars and deer are Tim's Great Outdoors.

with a bit of heat embossed glitter.

Snow is roughed up texture paste and glitter.

Distressed the edges, matted on brown and

white card base.

Sentiment is from Happy Little Stampers.

Allsorts Challenge Blog

 Hi and Welcome to today's post.

from a Birthday Gift Certificate thanks to my bff.

An Allsorts Celebration and a Tic Tac Toe

 Loving a rainy day as it gave me a chance to

get messy and create a card for a couple of challenges.

Gardening can wait till tomorrow's sunny day.

I started  my background stencilling with

AALL&Create Mock-Croc #58

using texture paste, brusho's and 

Lindy's Magicals Spray.

Unfortunately the texture got a bit squashed

when I cut my circle.

Penned a couple of circles behind it for effect.

Flower is inked with the same colours.

Added tiny seeds 

 a Happy Birthday sentiment.

Flicked a few splatters

Attached to white card base. 

Allsorts Challenge are celebrating

a milestone 700th Challenge

How fantabulous is that!

and The Paper Players have a

Tic Tac Toe Challenge

I chose the middle row down

Die cuts, texture, birthday.

This card is heading over to the above challenges.

Thanks for visitng

Especially for You

For our New Challenge over at

The Sisterhood of Crafters 

Vickie has chosen - Fall Colours.

We don't experience the

pleasure of seeing the trees

show off their magical colour changes 

where I live but I love to indulge by 

creating something in those bold beautiful colours.

I was going to use gilding flakes but then

I looked at the gorgeous colours I could play with

using my Lindy's Magical's.

Leaves are from old Cuttlebug dies,

unknown die for small leaves

and I inked away to get those fall colours.

(photo doesn't show the shimmer)

Adhered to Memory Box branch die.

Background has some texture pasted stenciling.

Finished with sentiment and twine bow.

Head over and see the beautiful colourful cards

from the Sistahs and add yours to our Gallery.

Sending this off to Allsorts Challenge for their

Colours of Autumn Challenge

and

Use Your Stuff  - #469 Diecuts

Thanks for visiting.

Sending Happy Thoughts

Sue is Hosting our Trend Week at Just Us Girls

and chose CAS - Clean and Simple.

An easy one here using dies.

 

I die cut my flowers with the same paper as my base

and inked them to highlight them.

Tore a bit of plasters tape, inking that also,

adhering to white card stock.

Flicked some fine splatters and finished with

a torn popped sentiment.

Head over and see what our Guest Lynne 

and my Talented Team Mates created.

Hope to see yours in our Gallery.
