LOTV Challenge...

Thought I would have a go at the Lili of the Valley challenge this week and the challenge was a card sketch.
I've used one of their new Christmas stamps and painted her with Radiant Pearls then mounted onto Nesties.
Backing papers are from Papermania pad called Summer Bloom.
Flowers and pin are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Bah Humbug challenge....

Bah Humbugs challenge this week is TEXT. I've used an old PSX stamp. I dug deep into my cupboards and fished out my Radiant Pearls paint pots which are lovely to use so have painted my NOEL with these.
The stripped backing paper and ribbon is from SU, the leaf paper is handmade.
Punches used are EK seccess photo corner, MS snowflake and SU window punch...and I have just noticed that my snowflake on the bottom right hand side isn't straight so I need to rectify that!!
Not feeling too good today so thats my excuse.

My favourite medium is rubbing stamping, stamping is so versitile and used along with inks can produce stunning effects.

Bah Humbug Challenge...

Our Bah Humbug challenge this week is a Christmas Carol or Song.
This little Penny Black stamp was ideal and its called 'Jingle all the way'.
Stamped and coloured with pencils...then it all went wrong! Decided to 3d the bells, fine, then thought I would glaze the bells using Dimond Glaze, big mistake I should have left well alone!! Anyway I did complete the card, backing paper from my stash, Martha Stewart snowflake punch and I just added a some ribbon and a bow.
