First Christmas card...

 

Howdy folks!

Well I did actually buy this stamp before Christmas and was gutted that I just didn't have the time to colour it in......well actually this was my 5th attempt as I just couldn't get the sky colour right with my copics and I wanted to persevere and colour with them, I knew I would have managed with watercolours but anyway I ended up making it a night time sky...maybe I should have added a moon too!  This has really motivated me to get back into colouring so here's my first card for Christmas 2021!

I coloured with copics, and there is colour on the snowman but you can hardly see, I added some little silver stars to the sky.

Hope you like!

Some snowmen...

Good evening folks....an unexpected post from me this evening...I completely forgot to post this the other day!

I am sharing my card for the LOTV Design Collective.

A wee sneaky peek at one of the new sets of Christmas stamps that will be available...you know I can't resist a snowman!!

 

I made it quite plain and simple, I coloured the stamped images with Spectrum Noir markers, I cut out each of the images and layered them onto a die cut scallop circle. I cut a square panel and embossed with snowflakes, I also punched some extra snowflakes and 3D them onto the card and glittered them up...oh yes doodled the edge too!

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.

There's no people like snow people...

Good morning sweet stampers...actually it's now afternoon...lol!!  I am running a bit behind today but better late than never as they say!

The challenge today over at Sweet Stampin is "snow people"....I love snow people especially snowmen...maybe you can see that...

For my card I have used Old Snow patches from Bugaboo and coloured with copics, the papers are from MME - Winter Wonderland and the snowflakes are from Martha Stewart which I glittered up.  I added some pearls to the centres of the snowflakes and around the snowman.

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.

Let it Snow....

Good morning bloggers...well it's certainly not snowing here as yet although there is snow further north in Scotland but it is absolutely chucking it down. Last night I took Holly and her friend to the winter wonderland which opened and again it was pouring!! They loved it, there was ice skating, lots of snow and ice type rides and oh hot chocolate and of course the beautiful Christmas lights....twas lovely!! We will be going nearer Christmas again, probably when it is actually snowing but we will have a look around the German Market next time.

So before I get on with some chores i thought I would share my card with you..now I did colour this Santa in last week but didn't really have time to make him into a card so here we are!!

I have used scraps of paper I had in my stash from October Afternoon - Very Merry, the Santa is from Sugar Nellie and I coloured him with copics, I added some sparkle to his furry bits and the added a message and a glitzed up snowflake...hope you like!!
