A 'Snowflake or Three'

 It's Trend Week at
Just Us Girls and Hosting is
BOBBY choosing METALLICS!

 

 

Now with Christmas - yes Christmas
just around the corner I really need to
get my act together and start on them.
Hence this is the way I went for this weeks Challenge.

I found this fabulous dotty paper in my stash that
I know I bought years ago and thought it a
perfect background for my snowflakes.
I got out my 'old faithful' Cuttlebug snowflake die
and Spellbinders Create a Flake 4 die and cut them out
from gold and white glittery paper.
Added a gold frame then popped my snowflakes.
My sentiment is from Stampin' Up and heat embossed.
Finished with some pearls and a button from my stash.

Pop over to our Blog and see more magnificent metallics
from our November Guest Cecile' and the Team.
You won't be disappointed.
Come join us and you could be our Chic of the Week
and be a future Guest Designer.

It's a CASimple Christmas Card.

I am right into Christmas card making at present

and it is always a time when you need some

CAS cards to post to friends.

 

 

Once again I am playing over at

Addicted to Stamps & More

You can find the details Here

 

Here are the products I used -

Kraft card stock

I randomly stamped snowflakes

from SU on the background

with sparkle embossing powder and

the main snowflake in white.

The sentiment is also from SU.

This was popped for dimension and

cut using a stitched die.

Finished off with an aqua sparklet for colour.

A Merry & Bright Christmas Card.

I love playing with bright colours and was doing so

when I found the Daring Cardmakers Blog

with this amazing Inspiration Photo.

Details - Here

 

 

Now who would not want to play with this beauty!

 

 

As part of the challenge you have to pick

3 elements for your creation. I chose

Colours including Gold Detail the tree and ribbon.

 

I started off with basic coloured card stock.

For my main background I chose water colour paper

inking it up with Tim Holtz Distress Inks -

Wilted Violet/Mermaid lagoon

 and Inka Gold which were spritzed

and added randomly.

This was also spritzed with SU Champagne Mist

Added a few touches of Inka Gold

to my card base to add interest.

Sentiment is from GKD and cut from a Kaisercraft die.

This also is spritzed and finished with ribbon.

My circle is a stitched die from MFT

and attached my Christmas tree from Nina's Things cut

from scrap DP and heat embossed twice with clear powder.

Finished off with some sequins and a tiny pearl.

 

I also saw that Happy Little Stampers 

November Christmas Challenge is Watercolour - yay!

 

 

so I am popping this card over there too.

It's a 'Sketch' at Water Cooler Wednesday

For some reason I find sketches hard to get my head around so

I decided to get out of my comfort zone and play at

Watercooler Wednesday for their sketch challenge Here

 

 

 

Looks easy enough but I got carried away

with my watercolour background using various

distress inks and a bit of bubble wrap.

I then had to go searching for paper to back my image.

Rummaged through my scraps and found some - phew!

My flower is from Marianne Designs

Sentiment - 49 and Market

Gems from my stash

Foam Squares and scoring.

- and there you have it.

 

Thanks so much for dropping in.

I really appreciate your comments.

 

 

 



Going for 'GOLD' at The Mod Squad.

 

I have got the Christmas bug at present and I know

I need to get cracking so I decided to go for Gold

again over at The Mod Squad for their current challenge.

Details Here

 

 

I found that beautiful Heirloom Ornament

 amongst my Christmas stamps from Gina K Designs

and knew it would look amazing in Gold.

My card base is a metallic gold paper.

To back my ornament I went with

Tim Holtz Holiday Knit Stencil

using Texture Paste for depth.

I then added a red frame to highlight

the Christmas Sentiment which is also

from GKD and heat embossed on vellum.

Added my own ribbon and a few pearls to finish.

 

That's another Christmas Card done - but so many more to do
but before I go I will pop over to

Addicted to Stamps and add it to their
Challenge #218 Holiday Challenge
 

Thanks for dropping in.

Hope you like what you see and leave me a comment.
