Girly Christmas...

Hiya, back again, this time with my DT inspiration for The Crafty Addicts challenge that has also started this morning. Our theme to follow is 'Anything Goes' or optional twist of  'Make it Girly'. Sponsoring us is All Dressed Up Stamps and I am using their cute little image called Girls Christmas Stocking. So with it being 'Girly', I have used this bright pink and gold colour theme, a little bit different for Christmas, but I think it works well!


Here I have matt and layered non-shed gold glitter card with pink linen effect card. On this I have placed a paler pink floral paper along with image topper and the same glitter card. The image I coloured with Promarkers, adding loose glitter for highlight effects. I decorated with a pink vellum die cut poinsettia, gold glitter leaves and gold berry sprigs and blossom stamen with added glitter glue. I also added gold die cut snowflakes, pink bow then finished off with gems, sentiment topper that I created on word doc, printed then die cut out, layering on gold die cut card...

Finishing off with tartan bow, sentiment topper and gems

Winter Wishes...

Hi there Crafty Friends, I can't believe that it's the start of another new month! Where has this year gone? As it's the 1st, that means we have a new challenge for you over at Digi Doodle Studios. Our theme for the month is Christmas/Winter. For my inspiration, I've used this fab little image called Snowboard Sammy. He's fab and so versatile, he can be used like I have here for Christmas, or for Birthdays and for any special occassion. It can be so hard to find suitable cards for Men/Boys... so this image certainly does the job to help create that special card!!


To create this scene, I matt and layered together complimentary First Edition papers, then added some craft fabric which had snow effect on top. I held this in place by addidding die cut glitter snowflakes and die cut tag sentiment topper. The image, I coloured with promarkers, then carefully cut out and placed as shown! I finished off by adding some miniture die cut snowflakes and gems!

Materials Used 
Digi Doodle Studios - 'Snowboard Sammy' Image
ProMarkers - Satin, Blush, Pastel Blue, Artic Blue, Cool Grey 1&3, Vanilla, Tan and Cornflower
Crafter's Companion - Watercolour Card
