Well I have made my first Christmas card of 2012 ... going to be organised and get at least a couple each week made so by October I am not panicking!!!
I used this fab Penny Black Mouse image, Let it Snow, and coloured it with my Prisma pencils. I used rock candy crackle paint for the icy puddle, and left the rest very simple, just some embossing and a bit of red gingham. My resolution for Christmas cards this year is "quick and simple"!!!
Challenges:
Do you stack up - let it snow
Stamps+fun=creativity - snow
Creative Card Crew - snow
Everybody Art challenge - snow
Oldie but a Goodie - Christmas animals
And now a wedding card ...
I used Mr and Mrs from Lili of the Valley, and coloured it in my prisma pencils (need to practice black more!!), before painting over the bride's veil and dress with chandelier glitter glam. The green cardstock is embossed, and I stamped in versamark and heat embossed a text stamp on the cream cardstock. Just some red and cream gingham to finish ... the happy couple are VERY non fussy ... ribbon might be a bit much for them!!!
Challenges:
Stampavie and More - hearts
Crafty ribbons - new beginnings
Tuesday throwdown - shiny something
For Your Inspiration - photo inspiration
Lili's Little Fairies - New beginnings
DutchDare - new beginnings
Colour Create - red, cream, sage green
