Giving Away

It's Annette back as your host today. I ordered a few bits and bobs from the The Stamp Basket sale last week, and although they're Christmas images, and it's only June, I couldn't resist using them for today's card.

This cute Nellie Snellen image is called Giving Away and I painted her with my distress reinkers. I tried to water down the colours a bit as I wanted a softer appearance. I've used non festive colours of aqua and brown, but added some white snowflake die cuts.

Happy crafting

Believe in Miracles

Hi all,

I have a contemporary Christmas card to show today using the Wild Rose Studio ‘Baby Jesus’ stamp and Magnolia Sweet Crazy Love ‘Vintage Turquoise’ and ‘Cloudy Turquoise Hearts’ papers. I just love the soft shades of these papers! The sentiment is from the Whimsy Holiday Notables 2 set (wide range of fab sentiments in this set!) cut with the Whimsy 'Notables 2' die.

I’ve used a couple of other dies, too: Memory Box ‘Frostyville Border’ (love this die!) and the medium sized snowflake from the Spellbinders ‘Snowflake Pendant’ set (currently in The Stamp Basket sale!).

Recipe:

Stamps: Wild Rose Studio ‘Baby Jesus’; Whimsy 'Holiday Notables 2'

Papers: MagnoliaSweet Crazy Love ‘Vintage Turquoise’ and ‘Cloudy Turquoise Hearts’

Card: Craftwork Cards Straight Edge Card Pack; Bazzill Kraft

Tools: Whimsy 'Notables 2'; Memory Box ‘Frostyville Border’ and Spellbinders ‘SnowflakePendant’ set

Embellishments: mixed rhinestones (coloured with copic pens); Ranger Stickles – Gold; Vintage style limoges ribbon

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a great day!

Christmas Teddies

Hello and welcome to the blog today. Edna here with my card for this week

and I've chosen this gorgeous group of teddies from Wild Rose Studio to play with!

Stamp - Wild Rose Studio - Christmas Teddies

Papers - Teresa Collins - Christmas Cottage

Dies - Memory Box - Frostyville wreath; Frostyville border

Ribbon - red satin

Pearls - 5mm snow white

Pearl brads - snow white

Gems - clear

Sentiment - Molly Bloom - Happy Christmas

Art Institute crystal glitter

The image is coloured with Promarkers (PM) and Copics (C)

Bears - Putty (C), Pastel beige, satin (PMs)

Mummy bears hat and scarf - Sand, Chamois, Light Walnut (Cs)

Dad's scarf - Burnt Sienna, Walnut, Umber (PMs)

Baby bears hat and scarf - Burgundy, Berry Red, Poppy Red (PMs)

The texture on the teddy bears is achieved by dotting some drops of blending solution onto a piece of cheesecloth (you could use gauze) and dabbing it over the sections you want to look 'furry'. I usually do this after colouring in teddies or dogs etc and before I add the other colours. Allow the blending solution to dry thoroughly before you continue colouring. :)
