Pear ATC

Today is a new Cardz 4 Galz Challenge 

the new theme is

'fruits and/or vegetables'

here is my take

an ATC

Stamped using 'a partridge in a pear tree' stamping set and I added some 3D enamel effect on the circles

I divided up the background into diamonds, coloured them in randomly and redrew the lines with my new favourite thing a stickles gold glitter glue

So have a look at Cardz 4 Galz and make your own fruit and/or vegetable theme project to enter

see you there

make it small

Today is a new Sparkles Monthly challenge

the theme this time is

'make it small'

Any of these suggestions -

 Inchies/Twinchies/ATCs, Bookmark, Gift card Holder, Postcard, Fat Page, Card less than 4"sq.,  earrings,  Gift Tags, whatever, as long as it is SMALL

I found ATCs (artist trading cards which are 3.5" by 2.5") early this year, they are different from greeting cards in that you make them to swap with others and it is quite addictive especially as once you have made and swapped ATCs you find yourself making ATCoins (2.5" round), twinchies (2" square) and the tiny inchies (1" square)

You can find groups on Facebook which organise monthly swaps and you can also have your own album for swapping

so for this challenge I have made a Christmas ATC

The Santa is stamped, coloured and cut out, the stocking is die cut which I was given in a swap and I added a twine loop

I 'made' the Christmas lights with 3D enamel effect in various colours

So have a look at Sparkles Monthly Challenges and make your own small project to enter

see you there

Candy Canes

It's a new Winter Wonderland challenge today

there is no sponsor this month so we are playing just for fun

The new theme is

'Candy canes and/or for a child'

here is my take

I have made another shaker card

I made the jar shaker with die cuts and decorated the background with stamped candy canes, sentiments, stars and nuvo drops

the shaker inners are sweet die cuts and I finished it off with a twine bow

so have a look at Winter Wonderland and make your own Christmas project to enter
