Come and Get It Challenges


This card is all about red and green. I love this little elf from a new company I found on the internet called Sliekju’s Digi Stamps, located in the Netherlands. The company has a lot of free digis, to check out her web site see:

I stamped a flourish from Quiet Fire designs on my red background paper and then coloured my elf with my Copics, added layers of papers, die cut stars and a sentiment from a book of Christmas papers I had in my stash. Bling, glitter, a button and bow completed the card and it is ready to send to a special friend. The card says Happy Holidays.

Come and join the fun at Come and get Challenges. A new challenge every Sunday.

I was glad to not be making another Christmas card tonight. I coloured the image with my Copics and layered some of my favourite coloured patterned paper. Bling and a sentiment were added for some sparkle and interest.

Have a creative day.

From My House To Yours - PTT#45


Today’s card was made for this week’s Party Time Tuesday challenge and guess what it is another Christmas Card. The theme of the challenge is “Holiday Greetings”. I love the colour I chose for the Christmas bells. You do not see a lot of turquoise blue on Christmas cards and I love the combination of gold, silver and turquoise blue. These beautiful Christmas bells are from the collection of stamps by Just Inklined Digital Stamps.

I adhered a layer the snowflake embossed paper and punched silver snowflakes to the card. I then added the sentiment, ribbon and some bling to finish the card.

I need to clean up my craft room before I start another project. I still have a few Christmas projects to finish and Christmas will be here soon.

Have a wonderful creative day.

It is all about Texture - Kenny K Downloads Challenge


Kenny K. Download challenges (#72) this week all about texture. I chose to use this reindeer digi stamp of Kenny’s for a Christmas card for my oldest grandson. Thought he would like the non traditional Christmas card design. To add texture after colouring with my Copics I added glitter, textured ribbons, and a couple of bells. I then added diamond glaze to the sunglasses and the reindeers red nose to add some shine to the card. The “Be Merry” sentiment is by A Muse Artstamps. Do you think he will enjoy the card?

Now back to my craft room to complete my Christmas cards.

Have a creative day.
