A Few Thank You's

Rather late posting them here but hopefully they have all reached the recipients.

Here are a few thank you cards I made for Christmas gifts received (yes I am a lucky girl!)

All simple using a stamp from Waltzingmouse which I don't think they sell anymore and a sentiment from Verve.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.

Christmas 2015

I know I must have a screw loose but when I read the TLC challenge yesterday and knowing that the January CCC15 challenge is Stars I made these cards - 4 stars and 2 hearts for next Christmas.

I used Waltzingmouse, Power Poppy and one other sentiment stamp for these cards and several ribbons from my stash.

TLC514 is a simple challenge using
1 Card Stock
1 Stamp
1 Sentiment
1 Color of Ink
1 Ribbon

Thanks for looking.

Brown, Blue and White

The Penny Black challenge for the month of September and the High Hopes challenge closing on Monday 15th both have the colours Brown, Blue and White as their challenge.

My cards are very different - serene countryside to crazy snowman.

First up is my Penny Black card - a simple country scene on a winter's day.  Simple sponging and stamping with rounded corners.

 

 

My second card is for the High Hopes challenge. I used the cowboy image from High Hopes with some western additions from Waltzingmouse stamps.  A Spellbinders embossing folder was used to create the wood-grain background.  Copics were used for colouring.

Dare to Get Dirty

I have worked my socks off on the DTGD challenges this week completing 34 of the 49.  My teeny little craft room looks like a whirl wind has hit so I really need to tidy, clean and sort out.  I have had tremendous fun with all the challenges and made a lot of Christmas cards.  Thanks to all the wonderful Splitcoast hostesses.

I am sorry there are a lot of photos but here goes - which is your favourite?

Less is More - Single Layer Coloured Card

The Less is More challenge this week is to produce a single layer card using coloured card. 

My first card uses navy card stock and a flower image from Penny Black, which was stamped in white and embellished with some Prismacolor pencils and a white pen.  This one is also being entered into Penny Black Saturday Challenge for May.

My second card uses a soft green card and I stamped in a dark purple from Memento.  The image is from Stampin Up and the sentiment is from Waltzingmouse.

Thanks for looking - have a great weekend.

Waltzing Silhouette

I made this card using the Waltzingmouse Sketch and the OCC challenge to use a silhouette.  I have used a combination of Tim Holtz stamps and Waltzingmouse ones.  An EK success border punch was used on the red paper behind the pearlescent white strip.The snowman was stamped on black and then embossed with white embossing powder.

Another Christmas card towards my November set.







 Thank you for dropping in - enjoy the rest of the weekend, if you can.

Waltzing in Black and White

I made this card using the Waltzingmouse sketch challenge 121 from Saturday as a basis.  I used both white and black embossing powders and both colours of card too -  as if you needed telling.  The stamps are from Waltzingmouse.  I used a red background to my photo as neither of my normal backgrounds worked!  Gems have been added to the "twinkles" on the ornaments.

I am also counting this towards my CCC12 for November and adding it to the Stampin Sisters In Christ challenge as a 2nd entry.

CCC12 July - Marathon

Sorry but this is one large collection - all 12 of my July Christmas cards for CCC12.  Some of them are also for other challenges so I will add the challenges to each photo.  None of the cards are fancy but I left it too late this month.  I have used dies, punches, alcohol inks and all sorts of stamps on this bunch.
