Thinking Of You

Today's card features a lovely floral stamp from LOTV which I have coloured with promarkers and added glossy accents to the glass jar.  I die cut the borders before glueing to my matted and layered base card.  I stamped a sentiment and fussy cut it for a change.  I added a little bow to finish off the card.

Blue Fairy

After matting and layering my base card using a pretty paper from Nitwits I stamped my fairy from Kanban and coloured her with promarkers adding a sentiment and some glitter glue.  Once die cut I attached with foam pads.  Finally, I added some paper flowers and flower gems.

Silhouette

I was having a messy session the other day with alcohol and distress inks to see if I could make some decent backgrounds.  The one above was made with alcohol inks on glossy paper.

Having layered my card base I stamped a flower border.  Next I stamped my fairy onto the background paper and die cut and matted it, attaching to the card with d/s tape.  I then stamped the sentiment, die cut and matted.  This I attached with foam pads to lift it.  Finally I added a bit of glitter glue.

All stamps used were magazine freebies.

Flowergirl

Not a colour combo I would normally think of putting together so I really had to think what to do.  Guess that is why they are called challenges!

My stamp is from Pergamano and I coloured her with promarkers and added some crystal glaze.  The design paper is from Nitwits and the sentiment from Hunkydory.  I cut some washi tape to make fishtails and applied behind my image.

One for the boys this time.  The stamps are more magazine freebies that I have coloured with promarkers.  I added a die cut anchor which I applied gilding wax to.

Penguin

I do love pastel colours and much prefer them to traditional reds and greens on Christmas cards so naturally, I had to have this gorgeous paper from Crafters Companion didn't I?

I coloured my Bugaboo penguin image with promarkers and added some tiny snowflake peel-offs before cutting and matting using some stitching nesting dies.  I attached the image with foam pads whilst keeping everything else flat for posting.  Behind the image is a couple of die cut fir trees which I have added glitter glue to.  The sentiment (another magazine freebie), has been stamped and heat embossed in silver.  Nearly forgot, you can't have too much glitter and sparkle at Christmas so I added more with the ribbon!!!

Sister

This card features one of the gorgeous floral stamps that were a magazine freebie recently.  The minute I saw it I had to have it.

I stamped my image with grey for a softer look and then coloured it with promarkers.  After stamping my word (another magazine freebie), I framed the image with chalk using an oval die as a stencil.  I then added three little butterflies that I punched from recycled packaging.

Rosalie

Starting with my base card I added a mat and some design paper from Nitwits.  I then stamped a background onto my tag with distress ink adding a stamped sentiment and ribbon bow.  I coloured my C.C. Design image with promarkers, fussy cut and attached with foam pads.  Then I attached it to my base card with foam pads.  My leaves are die cut and I found some paper flowers in my stash and added some tiny gems.

Smiles and Laughter

Another old sentiment stamp which I took off of it's wooden block without making a note of the make, sorry.

All the stamps have been heat embossed (anything to keep warm...).  The flourish is from Debbi Moore and the border one is a magazine freebie.
