Bah Humbug - challenge 37

 

How quickly the weeks seem to be flying by now but at least I have a lovely pile of Christmas cards already thanks to the Bah Humbug

This weeks challenge is called 'Flourishes/Swirls'.  My image is a stamp by Magenta..coloured with copics and I've sponged the background, 3D the flower and using glossy accents in the centre added some gold 'Accent beads'.  The 'swirls' on the background are from one if the Cuttlebug embossing folders.  Sentiment if from S.U.  The photograph isn't good as theres is rather a lot of gold on the card and as you know it always reflects....

Thanks for looking

LOTV....

 

Love this image from LOTV.....just added a little more colour to the die cut image and mounted onto Nesties.

Backing paper is Core'dination card which I've put through the Bigshot using a Creative Expressions mask called Delicate Mask then useing a fine sander block just sanded over the top until the 'core' colour came through.  I thought the dark purple was too much so just added the same mask but in whate and cut a small slice off and put on the top of the purple.  Added some raffia across the back, flower and a few pearls to finish the card off.  The settiment is from Craftwork Cards.

Thanks for looking..

Penny Black Challenge....

 

Penny Blacks challenge this week is called 'Delicious'.  Apart from a couple of the mice stamps that the DT had used I looked for something else and spotted this stamp on the 'j'aime Paris' set of clear stamps it does have a Delicious cake on it so hope thats ok.

Coloured with copic pens, Su embossing folder used to mount the image on.  Not sure where the backing paper is from as I have lost the front cover!  Marther Stewart heart punched along with a leaf punch and a Nellie Snellen flower punch.

Winters Tale........

 

Just love this stamp set from Andy Skinner its called ' Winters Tale'  you get 9 different stamps in the set but also of course it doesn't have to be winter scene.

I've only used 7 stamps from the set on this card.  Stamped onto kraft card with Versafine then coloured with pencils, I only used 2 pencils white and brown, I then highlighted areas where the snow would be heavier with a white gel pen....I've made other cards like this but have varied the design. The only thing I'm not sure about is the where the sentiment is?

Thanks for popping by...

Less is More....week 32

This weeks challenge for LIM is 'one layer - seeing double' which I thought was a great challenge.
I've used two stamps for this challenge the flower one is a S.U. stamp from the  ' Touch of nature set' and the sentiment is from S.U. 'Because I care' set. 
Sponged an oval background with distress inks, inked up the flowers using marker pens and stamped then added the sentiment.

Thanks for looking
