Winter Wonderland Challenge week 16 - A very vintage Christmas

It's Friday!!!! And I have managed to get a card made before the weekend!!!
This weeks challenge really stumped me, didn't have a clue, in fact the only thing I had was a bit of old lace!!! The rest, yes you guessed, I raided Wendy's stash!! I absolutely love this stamp, I'm not sure what it is called but I do know that is definately an Impression Obsession one. Sorry it's a bit boring folks but it's all I could manage!! Better luck next time!!!


I'm now going to see if I can produce something a bit more creative!!

See you soon

Penny Black Challenge and ABC Challenge - D is for Die Cuts

Another card and it's still only Sunday and yes it covers two challenges again. It's a bit OTT for me again but I needed to put die cuts on it and I thought using the nesties labels was a bit boring so went for something else too. And as it is another Christmas card it has to have a bit of bling on it!! And another thing, no Glossy Accents!!

I can't tell you what stamp or papers I've used as they came out of Wendy's craft cupboard, Wend we need a comment with details!!! Please!!!
Martha Stewart border punch but don't know what it's called as I've thrown away the package!! (Wendy will know though because I bought it from Stamps and Memories!)
Martha Stewart Snowflake punch
Nestibilities Labels 4
Sizzex decorative die
Gems, pearl and card from stash.
I hope to be back before next Sunday but who knows, bye for now!!
Have a good week everyone, don't work too hard!

PS. I may have an evening with Wend tomorrow!!

Copic Challenge Week 30 and Sunday Sketch and Stamp Challenge 11

Still hubby went out with his dad this morning so have had time to myself and have managed to create a card that will cover two challenges, not like me to be this organised. There are loads more challenges that I would like to do but we'll have to see, if only I had more time!!!
This weeks copic colours were way out of my comfort zone again, really really bright, but when I got going I loved it and I actually had all three!!

Winter Wonderland Challenge 15 - Frosty the Snowman

How cute is this, lol, I wish you could see it, so sparkley!!. This weeks Winter Wonderland challenge is Frosty the Snowman. Unfortunately I've used this stamp earlier on my blog but as I have only one snowman stamp that is accessible at the moment I have had to use the same one again!!! I have tried to follow the sketch as best as I could too, but this stamp is rather large and doesn't give much room to add anything else as you can see. Looks a bit OTT but I like it and hope you do too!!

Stamp used Crystal by High Hopes
Coloured with Copic Ciao Pens
Round and Oval Scallop Nestibilites
Snowflake punch by Martha Stewart
Christmas Blues Paper by Dovecraft
Sizzex swirley die
Spica Clear Glitter Pen

Copic Colour Challenge 29

This weeks Challenge has been a nightmare for me from start to finish but it was determination not to be beaten and a very late night early morning to do it!!! It started off with not having any of the colours or anything near them either!! So a trip to Wendys was called for not that we need an excuse!! I checked before I went and only one of them is available as a Ciao Pen so I then forgot to take the number with me and bought the wrong one!!

Next I choose my papers and made up my card as you do, then totally messed up the image I was using and it was one of Wendys that I had stamped earlier and had already used the spare!!! I then had to find another stamp that fitted the nestabilitie oval that I was using and that would match the papers too. Nightmare!! Anyway this is the result.....

One of my favourite Bildmalarna stamps called Tea coloured with the following:
Hair E04, E33 and E35
Hands and Face R20, E00, E50 and E53
Hair Band B60 and B63
TopYR31, B60 and B63
Trousers YG95
Boots E08, YR31 and YR61
Tray and China C-3, R20 and YG95
C-1 for shadow
Green Fern and Green Butterflies Papers by Paper Adventures
Glossy Accents
Ribbon, Charm and Gem from stash
Sewing Machine

Hope you like her

Whoops forgot to say I used colours YR31, E08 and YG 95 instead of the colours!

Sketch Saturday

This week I have decided to have a go at the Saturday Sketch challenge, yes I know it's Wednesday but the bank holiday has thrown me all out!!!! I stamped up this image at the Copic Class a couple of weekends ago and thought it would fit this sketch quite nicely. I was rummaging in my papers drawer last week and came across this paper, it must be a couple of years old but thought I would use it as I love the colours. So here it is, I hope you like it.

I have used stamp by Stampevie, sorry don't know what it's called!!
Copic Ciao Pens to colour
Dovecraft Christmas Blues Paper
Nestabilities Labels 4
Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder and snowflake die
Let it snow stamp from Impression Obsession
Crystals and card from stash

And of course my Sewing Machine!!
Bye for now, hopefully a trip to Wendy's soon!!
