Festive Friends...

Hello my blogging friends....a wee card from me today and oh I could stamp this every day I just love this stamp so much!!

The papers are from Fancy Pants - Hot Chocolate collection, layered them and stitched them onto kraft card, then I distressed each of the layers.  The stamp is Festive Friends from Sugar Nellie which I coloured with copics, I then glittered up Santa's furry bits.  I added a piece of twine and attached a couple of glittered snowflakes punched with my MS punches.  The message is from Craftwork Cards....oh and those pearls...made them with an ice white pearl pen...I am running out so top of my shopping list for the SECC next week.

Merry Christmas....

Good morning windswept bloggers!! Well...what a day and night yesterday for us Scots...we had winds up to 160mph at parts of the day. The extreme weather caused havoc all over and I am so glad I didn't need to venture out!! It was a tad scary I have to say and I hope everyone was safe.

So I doodled away last night colouring in this stamp which is Festive Friends from Sugar Nellie and this time I coloured with copics and then glittered it up. I bought a few new colours so thought I would put them to the test although I haven't managed to get the right shade of green, so if anybody knows of a kind of lightish promarker green, let me know. Now when I saw the sketch over at Christmas Challenges, I had to try it...I do prefer lots of layers as I am kind of rubbish at the embellishments so With lots of layers I don't need to add too many other bits and bobs.
The papers are from Fancy Pants - Hot Chocolate collection, and they are yummy!! I have entered the challenges below. I layered the papers onto kraft card and edged them with a fine pen to give them a stitched look. I punched out the snowflake and glittered it up and then added a button and twine. I also added some twine around one of the layers and attached a snowflake charm.

Merry Christmas....

Good afternoon Saturday bloggers...I bet you weren't expecting a card from me today, I'm on holiday from work today but have a bit of a dodgy tummy!! I hope I never caught any bugs from the kids whose faces I was painting last night.....even though the weather was horrendous, it didn't stop the kids and round 2 at the school on Tuesday which will be mega busy and the face painting is always the busiest!!


I thought I would ink up High Hopes - Snowy, I bought him last year and only used him once so time for him to come out again and he has been coloured with copics The papers are from Echo Park - Winter Park and layered onto kraft card. I added a couple of layered snowflakes which were punched with my MS punches, glittered and added a button and twine to the centre, there was just enough room for those teeny pearls...oh and the ribbon!!
