Christmas Bear

 Hi crafters

 I have made a Christmas card today

 I stamped and coloured the bear 

He was die cut with a rectangle die and bordered with red

The background is embossed with snowflakes

I added some die cut holly and red 3D enamel effect and a sparkley tree

Autumn Leaves

 Hi all

 Today is a new Cardz 4 Galz challenge

the theme is

'fall/autumn - not halloween'

here is my take

 I used yellow card and dabbed autumnal colours onto it

then I took some white and die cut the leaves and again dabbed with autumnal colours

The sentiment and dragonfly were stamped in brown rather than black

so have a look at Cardz 4 Galz and make your own card to enter

 see you there

Christmas Snow

 Hello again

 I have made a Christmas Card today

 I blended the two distress inks to make an ombre background and stenciled  white circles to look like falling snow

I added nuvo drops and glitter glue for sparkles

This was mounted onto a piece of kraft and glued to a card blank

The sentiment was stamped using the same blue as the background

Hello Autumn

 Good morning crafters

 today is a new Sparkles challenge

the theme this month is

 'Hello Autumn'

 here is my take

 I have used yellow card and dabbed autumnal colours around where the leaf will be

Then die cut the leaf in the center

I covered the rest of the paper with stamped autumnal images

Then die cut a ribbon shape, stamped 'celebrate' onto it and re stuck it back with glue blocks

so have a look at Sparkles Monthly and make your own card to enter

see you there

Retro

 Good morning

It's time for another Cardz 4 Galz challenge

 the theme today is

 'Go retro'

 here is my take

 I have used a 'retro' colour pallet and die cut 'retro' shapes using regular nesting dies and arranged them on a black background

I added a piece of vellum (or tracing paper) which I heat embossed the sentiment on

So have a look at Cardz 4 Galz and make your own card to enter the challenge

see you there
