Hanging the Wreath Sassy

 Good morning how are you all this morning?

Hope all your Christmas preparations are coming along nicely.

Challenge 11 starts today at Crafty Girls Creations.

Our sponsor for this challenge is

Sassy Studio Designs

AND

2 Cute Ink

The image I chose for this challenge was one from Sassy Studio Designs called Hanging the Wreath Sassy. 

Once my image was printed I fussy cut it using my BSC and added a 1mm border and then cut a red mat again using my BSC with a 2mm border.

I coloured her in using a mixture of Copic Sketch pens for Sassy and Sakura gel pens for the wreath.

My background card was designed in Serif Craft Artist and I used a mixture of a couple of Christmas digi kits.

I then printed my card out and added my coloured image.

Hope you like my sample.  To see more samples from our design team follow the link to our blog HERE.  Don't forget to enter your own design whilst you are there.

A Tower of Gifts

Good morning.  How are your Christmas preparations coming along?  Not long now and I am a happy bunny as I have finished work now until the 4th January 2016. YIPPEE.

Going out with my Mom today.  We have a trip to the hairdressers and then lunch and maybe a little Christmas shopping.

A new challenge at Crafty Girlz begins this morning.

Challenge 10 has a theme of 'Christmas Sparkle'

Our sponsor for this month is

A Day for Daisies

I have used a digi image called 'A Tower of Gifts'.

Once I printed my image and coloured it in using Sakura pens,I  fussy cut it using my BSC and a 1mm border.  I then cut a mat in black with a 2mm border.

I decided to make it into a tag so I chose a tag shape from my library of shapes in my BSC.  I sized it and put a seam allowance around it.  I then added the same shape again, sized it but did not add a seam allowance.  I put my two pieces of card onto my mat, scanned them and moved my images onto the relevant card and cut.  Perfect mats.  

I embossed my smaller tag using a free embossing folder I had from a magazine of snowflakes.

I added some gold organza ribbon and a bow plus a flower onto the bow and finished off with some Tonic Nuvo glitter pearl drops - the copper colour.

Poinsettia Fairy

Good morning all.  How are you all today?  Well December is here, how's the Christmas shopping going?  I made a good inroad whilst I was away last week.  Couple more bits and hubby to sort out and I will be done.  He is the most difficult, honestly, I never know what to buy him and getting it in the house is a nightmare given he is retired and gets to the door first!

1st of the month means a new challenge starting at Creative Ladybirds Creations.

Challenge No 10 is Anything Goes

Our sponsors are: -

Ikes World

Bugaboo Stamps

For my card this month I chose an image from Ikes World called Poinsettia Fairy.

After printing her out I coloured her in using a mixture of copic sketch markers for the skin and Tim Holtz markers for the flower garland and hair.

I have used white base card 21cm by 21cm in size and used Creative Expressions Noble Collection Double Pierced Squares Set B Dies for matting and layering.  My final layer I have used pearlescent card and a poinsettia embossing folder.  

I scanned my image into my BSC and put an oval around it to cut it out.  I then designed the frame and cut that out in pearlescent card too.

My poinsettia flowers are dies from Tattered Lace as are the ivy die and the branch die.

I think she is a lovely image and to be honest although I have chosen Christmas colours she could be used for any occasion as the flowers could be coloured in different colours and would become lillies or clematis.
