Gnome For The Holidays

This week at CHNC, our theme is Christmas Gnomes. 


I have used a digital paper from Lozzy.  The image is from Beccy's Place and the sentiment is from Imagine That!  Colouing is with copic markers.  I also added 3D silver stars.

I Treasure Our Friendship

Today is the reveal of the cards posted in January for the Card Chain Challenge.

For the January Card Chain Challenge, I sent a card to Ellie in Illinois.


These were the prompts that we had:



I used the sketch, colours, New (word on scraps), Scraps, Friendship, Glitter and Sequins and Embossing Folder.  

I also followed a tutorial for a Scraps Background from Anna Helman.

The papers that I used are all from Trimgym

I recieved this card from Pia in Norway which arrived well before the end of January so it looks like the postal system might be getting a bit more reliable.  Hopefully I won't jinx it with saying that!

Christmas Wishes

 This week at CHNC, the optional twist is Use A Sentiment.  I had this big sentiment that I had stamped some time ago that was perfect to use.


I have used a digital paper from Lozzy.  The image is from Create with TLC and the sentiment is a rubber or clear stamp.  The sentiment was in my Awaiting Crafting box so I'm not sure of the brand of the stamp.  Colouring is with copic markers.

Thank You

Once again, I think I followed every element of the wheel at Butterfly Challenge.  I may not have got the colours quite right but I did the best match I could.  I have seen this card al

CHNC Patterned Paper - January Challenge
http://craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper.blogspot.com/2022/01/craftyhazelnuts-patterned-paper-january.html

I have used a digital paper from Lozzy.  The sentiment is from Create with TLC.  I used tan coloured cardstock for the base.  The butterflies are stickers - I had two sheets of the same stickers so I was able to match the butterflies.  Colouring is with copic markers.

I followed the tutorial from Butterfly Challenge.

Tricorn Cupcakes

This month's image for the Monthly Challenge at Beccy's Place came with a digital paper - so of course I used both.  The twist this time is to create a Fancy Fold Card.  I still have some fancy folds bookmarked that I ran out of time in November to attempt so this was a great twist for me.
