A frosty card....

Good morning frosty bloggers...well what is this all about??  Yesterday at work it was weird...we were all sitting working away and somebody shouted to look out the windows....on one side of the building it was a white out a blowing a blizzard and on the other side it was sunny and no snow...how weird is that??

So today we have a mid month inspirational post over at Christmas at Sweet Stampin'!  The challenge this month is no red or green....

We are sponsored this month by the lovely Emma and Flatfriends...

 

For my card I have embossed the white backing card and then layered it onto blue bazzill card.  The stamp is from LOTV which I coloured with copics and layered onto a beautiful snowflake doilly die cut that the lovely Faye sent to me.  I glittered around the edges of the snowflake for a frosty look and finished with a wee sentiment and some gems.

supplies:

card - stash

stamp - LOTV

pens - copics

gems - The Hobby House

snowflake die cut - Faye

Teddy Christmas....

Next post today is this little creation I made following Dena's tutorial on Facebook on the Lili of the Valley Virtual Christmas party page.  I did get lost a bit however when I saw Dena's finished card i knew where I was going and finished the card today.

I have used papers from Carta Bella - winter Fun, edged with lace, the stamp is from LOTV which I coloured with copics and glittered a bit, I punched some snowflakes and glittered them up and I cut out the tree and glittered that up too.  I added pearls to the centres of the snowflakes to finish off.

This is what the inside looks like although it's not a brill photo but can get the gist of it and you can get full instructions from Dena here.

All wrapped up...

Good morning blogging fans....brrrr it is cold isn't it??  I was on a roll last night and coloured a few images and made this one into this card....

This was one of my recent buys from LOTV - snow bears...I just couldn't resist it!!  I coloured the image with copics and shaded with polychromos.  the sentiment is also from LOTV, the papers are from MME - Winter Wonderland...I need more of these as they are running out fast!  The snowflakes have been punched with my MS Scandanavian snowflake punch and the smaller one is the arctic snowflake, I glittered them up and added a pearl pen to the centre.  I added a piece of ribbon to finish off.

Merry & Bright..

Well it's another crimbo card...I have loads to do but this not James!! This is Wee & a Christmas Tree from Whiff of Joy....I have admired this stamp for ages so now I have it!! I coloured the image with copics. The papers are from Scenic Route - Roxbury...think they are pretty too. I distressed the edges of the layers and added some stickles to the edges too. Finished with a message and a metal snowflake charm. I have entered the following challenges.

I love this little bear so much!!

Well I have been on a roll over the past few days with these LOTV stamps...aren't they just great....I hope they have a stand at the SECC at the end of the month!! Now..the stitching...I thought I would have a go again and real stitching but it's a hit or miss...I started off not bad but then I thought I was driving a car and I speeded up and started to go a bit all over the place...that's why I don't drive...lol!! I even stitched the circle...look how squint it is...but I think it adds to the vintage look I was aiming for...hmm. The papers are from Fancy Pants and James is of course from LOTV which has been coloured with copics and I finished with some glitter and 3 snowflake buttons...as I don't have a snowflake punch or die small enough...next on my buy list!!
