LITTLE ROBIN

Afternoon everyone.....its a miserable, drizzly day today and I have a very quick post as I'm going back to bed. I thought I was getting over my cold until this morning when....'Wham'....headache, earache and a high temperature, I don't know whether I'm hot or cold and I'm feeling really grotty but never mind me I'm only feeling sorry for myself....so on to the card that I had already made.

I followed a sketch from the Sketch Saturday Challenge. The image is a Penny Black stamp called Xmas Kiss. I have coloured with Promarkers and used Marianne Creatable dies to cut out the flowers and the leaves. The sentiment is from LOTV and the pearls are from the Hobby House. The papers are just scraps from my scrap box.

Don't forget that we have a monthly Christmas challenge over at:~

BLACK AND WHITE CHRISTMAS

Morning everyone.....Well it's a cold, wet day today so staying in the craft room sounds good to me I think....
First I would like to say 'Hello and Welcome' to all my new followers, I'm glad you could join me on my 'Craft Adventure' and also 'Thank You' to everyone who has wished me well....I'm beginning to feel much better now.
Today I have a card to share, not my usual style but I'm quite happy with how it turned out.

The image is a Stampendous stamp called 'Winter Sprite' that I've had for years which has sat patiently on the shelf gathering dust. The papers are DCWV~ Black and White Prints. I have stamped and heat embossed the image with sparkly black embossing powder and added extra glitter and gems. The snowflakes are various punches with crystals at the centres. I have finished off by adding some black gem brads, pearl and diamante pins and a little ribbon.

CHRISTMAS ATC's

Morning everyone....just a quick post today as I'm absolutely full of a cold and feeling proper fed up with myself but wanted to share these ATC's that I made for a Christmas ATC swap over at CHRISTMAS CRAFTING! last month...

I made the reindeer and Santas using Quickutz dies that I'd actually forgotten  I had. The papers are leftovers from my scraps box and the sentiment is LOTV.  I've finished off using bits of ribbon, small buttons and gems.

Thank you for stopping by. 

MAKE A SPLASH

Evening everyone....I hope you are all well.
Tonight I'd like to show the ATC's I made for ALI'S ATC SWAP~STOP last month. The theme was 'Make A Splash'...

I must admit I was a bit stumped at first but this is what I eventually came up with. The image is of course Tilda from Magnolia. I coloured her with Promarkers and all the papers are off cuts from my scraps box. I love ATC's as they are a way of using up those little left over bits and pieces. I then cut some wave shapes using an old Sizzix die and bits of blue paper and Stickled the edges, finishing off with some gems.

I'm really looking forward to my swaps arriving....its always interesting to see how other crafters have interpreted the theme.

Thank you for stopping by.
