I coloured the tree charm and then added red and gold stickles for added detail.The theme at Stampavie is also christmas. Other challenge sites running similar themes are Everybody Art, Creative Card Crew and Pile It On

Thinking of you

The theme over at Simon Says this week is 'Thinking of You' which you can interperate as a get well, sympathy,etc. So I have painted this Sarah Kay design with cosmic shimmer and twinkling H20's, which I think fits the criteria, the sketch I have followed is from Cottage Pixie. The design I kept simple because I wanted the emphasis to be on the stamped image and not over cluttered with flowers etc.

Thank you-----Tags so much

Cuttlebug challenge this week is Thanks giving or a Thank you card as is the challenge over at Simon Says, background papers have been embossed, I thought I'd use nice bright colours this week as the nights are so dark now and I need some bright colour, the stamp is a Sugar Nellie design and the sketch that I have followed is at The Sugar bowl this week.

This weeks theme At My Time To Craft is 'Tags so much so'---- join in the fun with us this week.

Simon Says

Love the variety of different challenges this week at Simon Says the challenge is a sketch, I also entered this card into the challenge over at Lili Of The Valley as the theme was a christmas card for a child and who better to do one for than Ethan my grandson. Stampavie also have the theme Christmas so its 3 in 1 today added glossy accents to the boots to make them stand out as well of lots of glitter.....love glitter!!!!

Another Tilda Christmas Card

This weeks sketch over at 'Stamp with Fun' is a nice simple one but you can do alot with it,the challenge at 'Die cut Dreams' theme this week is ribbons and trims which ties in nicely with the sketch and finally at 'Simon Says' the colourway theme is red and green, I hope they let me off with the smidge of gold on the dress....I didn't have a round sentiment stamp so I made my own and turned it into a bauble, the striped background paper has been embossed with a snowflake design.
