Bluebell With Presents

I'm back in Christmas mode again with a lovely image of Bluebell and some Nitwit papers.  These papers are really great quality thick card so I tend to use them on square cards which are easier to cut to shape.

I've also used a summery die, but since it included birdies which seemed to match the robin, I hoped they were versatile enough for me to get away with it!  A snowflake die and a 'Merry Christmas' sentiment sealed the deal.

Card Recipe:

• Image - Wild Rose Studio Bluebell and Presents
• Typed Sentiment (Wendy Medium font)
• Colouring - Copics
• Cardworks Card base
• Nitwits Papers Joyful Hearts
• Neenah Classic Crest White Stamping Card
• Momento Stamp Pad Ink
• Wild Rose Studio Birdie Branch Die
• Pearls
• Crystal Glamour Dust
• Glossy Accents
• Viva Pearl Pen - Ice White

Bluebell and Presents

I have a cute Christmas Bluebell image to share today in quite a CAS design.  I have cut a nestie shape into the middle of my backing paper before sticking it onto my card base.  I then matted the cut shape onto deep red card and stuck it back direclty over the cut area on the card base. This technique only uses one piece of designer paper, but it creates a sort of frame that I quite like.  Simple and economical! :0)

Bluebell and Presents

I'm still on the contemporary Christmas colours today with another purple themed card, but this time featuring the cutest reindeer on the block.

She started up really pale, but I totally messed up the colouring on her head, and after several attempts at correcting it (with each version getting darker and darker to cover up the previous layer) I finally ended up with a version I was half happy with.  Plus I didn't have any darker browns to go for another corrective layer, so I had to stop!

Then I found I'd got a couple of splodges of purple ink on the image from doing the edging around the panels, so they had to be covered up with a few spots of liquid pearl snow.

Shhhh, no-one will ever know!

Bluebell and Presents

Hi all,

I couldn’t resist making another Christmas card using one of the adorable Bluebell images and gorgeous festive papers from Graphic 45! 

I used two straight edged cards stuck together and then folded them back on themselves before decorating with designer papers.



The card has been designed to hold a small pressie inside, alongside the tag

Here's a close up of the cute image coloured with copics:

Hello everyone.  Today's card is another C&S design (I'm getting a bit hooked on these!).

I am also a bit addicted to this gorgeous rich red burlap twine, and have again embellished the bow with a gold bell.

I also ran a row of dimples around the edge of the image panel, but they've barely come out on the photo.  I think I should have stitched it, but it is all stuck down now. :0(
