Don't you love husbands?
They give such helpful and constructive comments.
When asked about today's card husband said "Intense."
....thanks.
Ok. There's a lot of stuff on it, but I was playing with this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch and I couldn't stop!
Most of the products are Simple Stories except for the deer which is a Tim Holtz stamp I love to use.
Anyway. I'm decorating my sad little Chinese Christmas tree tonight and longing for hugs from my son... Only three weeks till I get to go home!!
(Sad little Christmas tree...)
Thanks for stopping by!
Hi there! I have a post up at the Twinery Blog with a card on which I used my favourite Twinery product: Platinum Shimmer Twine. It seriously goes with everything and especially around the winter holidays I reach for it all. the. time. Here's my card:
The Platinum Shimmer Twine was the perfect accent to pair with the glitter patterned paper and the sequins in the snowglobe. Just for fun, here's a side-view of the snow-globe. It's so fun to create shaker cards, isn't it?!
Thanks for stopping by today!
I played along with Virginia Lu's current challenge: All About Texture!
Check out this card... I've been wanting to make this stamp set Christmasy since I saw it:
The texture (liquid appliqué) is the best part of this card! The mice with the snow on top of their hats are so cute.
Thanks for stopping by today.
Supplies:
Stamp sets: MFT London Mouse, Lawn Fawn Joy To The Woods
The Twinery: Maraschino Stripe
Tim Holtz: holly
Just popping in to share a card that took me WAY too much time to execute considering I had a plan before I started, lol... I guess I was just being to finicky with the details. Anyway, I saw this die cut and I wanted to try to make it a shaker card, it worked out well, I think!
The colour combo was from a MFT challenge and at the end of it all I realized I didn't use any MFT! I'm such an idiot sometimes...
But I hope you like it! I have a couple more ideas for this die...
Supplies:
Merry & Bright: Memory Box
Snowflakes: Lawn Fawn
Patterned papers: Simple Stories
Card stock:Bazzill
Hi there! I'm so happy about today's blog post because I'm playing along with Tracey McNeely and the Technique Tuesday DT for Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags.
I am a lover of Christmas tags and I already have a bunch made for this year's gifts, so today's post was a most welcome assignment!
Here's my tag:
So cute, right?? I used one of the images and sentiment from HOHOHO. It's great for all you colourers out there!
For the background of the tag I used a stencil and some white modelling paste. At first you would think black is a little harsh for Christmas, but it's a great base on which to put lots of bright colours!
It's time for another challenge with my girls at the Naughty or Nice challenge, and this month's theme is "Monochromatic Thanks".
When I started making this card I was like, ok, monochromatic.. I can do this, and I grabbed my stamps, my copics, and then promptly forgot the monochromatic part, hahaha.. That's so like me.
So the image doesn't 100% follow the rules, but I think that's okay.
So this card isn't exactly Naughty, but I think using Bird Crazy images gets a few points... They are just so funny-looking that you can't take them seriously..
Here's the sentiment on the inside:
I used my General's Chalk Pencil in black to add the shading on the outside and certain areas on the inside of the image to add depth. The tie is popped up on foam to make it stand out and look super-awkward.
Stop by the Naughty Or Nice blog for more info on the challenge!
