Morning readers,
WOWser! What a weathery week it's been? We've had hail, we've had high winds, we've had torrential (and almost relentless) rain ... and (it has to be said) NOT a great deal of sunshine!
It's allowed me the time to visit my ToC (Table of Craftiness) and it's such a shame that my mojo has been missing for so much of the time too. HOWEVER .... I did receive some stamps (as a prize) from Paperbabe so thought I should crack the seal on at least one! Given how chilly it's been this week too, it will come as no surprise to hear that the make turned in to a Christmas card!!!!

| Side view to show the dimension |

| My inked and stencilled panel and stamped images |
Materials used:
- Card in brown, white and Costco double sided
- Nesting circle dies to cut my 2½" and 2¼" circles
- Dylusions images (from DYS34445) stamped on to white card using Versafine Clair nocturne ink
- Twinkling H2O's in jasmine, passion and snapdragon used to paint the flowers which I ten set aside to dry thoroughly before fussy cutting around the outer edge. I extended cuts on the smaller flower in order that I could curve the petals (using my pokey tool) before adhering to my larger flower - thus creating a little dimension as per pic #2
- Adirondack watermelon and purple twilight applied to my white circle, using a makeup brush
- Overlaying my Dutchdoobadoo stencil (470.715.129) I applied the purple twilight ink through the stencil, to give added interest and texture
- Faux crystal gemstone added to the centre of my smaller flower, to bling it up a bit
- Clearly Besotted sentiment (from "brushed sentiments") stamped using Versafine Clair nocturne ink

Loving the snowman card and the dimensional ATCoin is just gorgeous. I see no signs of a lack of mojo here!
Hope the weather improves for the weekend.

A super card and coin. Thanks for joining Aud Sentiments challenge. Elaine
Such a sweet snowman Kathy and and love your red inked sentiment going perfectly with the super red mat, and your ATCoin so bright in purple and pink with that pretty doodled look to the flower and some great background stencilled dots. Let's hope that the weather improves soon. The river Tone is very high and walking out on anything other than hard surfaces is not good at the moment, and it is quite windy and chilly here too. x
Kathy, I thought surely this was a Clematis bloom - you have stylized it to make my eyes see it that way! Thanks for planting it in our gallery at The Flower Challenge!

Oh your makes are both super, what acute wee snowman. Love the ATC coin too. I always mean to try making one of those!! Thanks for sharing with me over on Fezziwigs, Hazel xx
Great ATC coin, they are so much fun aren't they? I loved all the different stencils. Well done. Thanks for joining our challenge at Use Your Stuff and hope to see you again.
