I have used a scrapbooking paper from my stash - a non-christmas one this time.  I used black cardstock for the matting.  The image is from Bugaboo Stamps and is coloured with copic markers.  I added some sparkle using Stickles.  I also used some silver paper, three metal brads (one snowflake and two plain ones) plus some natural bakers twine.


And here is the sketch:

Black and White for Christmas

A really different colour scheme for me - at least for a Christmas card!

Elf Present

I have had this image printed out for a while - I think I printed out for another card and lost my mojo.   This time it actually got finished!

Birthday Wishes

It's midway through the challenge at Scribbles Designs so time to remind you that the theme this month is Boys will be Boys  For my card, I used Truck and Dumping Love Wishes.

I have also used a paper from Rosie's Studio and matted with cardstock also from Rosie's Studio.  I added three pearls to the card.  Dies used are from Spellbinders.

The start of a new month means a new challenge at CHNC Extra.  This month I have created using an image called Christmas 25 from Bugaboo Stamps.

I have also used a red and white paper from a christmas paper pad by Sugar and Spice Studio.  I added some satin ribbon and a bow.   I also added some pearls of differing sizes from Rosie's Studio.  I glittered up the letters on the image using Stickles.

Robyn's Fetish Challenge - Square Cards only
http://robynsfetishchallengeblog.blogspot.co.nz/2015/08/challenge-279-square-cards-only-8302015.html

I have used a scrapbook paper for the background.  The image is from Doodle Pantry and is coloured with copic markers.  I used some cardstock from Rosie's Studio for the matting.  The rounded squares are some left over paper from another card - not sure of the brand.  I also used some satin ribbon from American Crafts.

I'm not sure that the Inlinkz date and time are correct as it usually closes in about four to five hours from now - so I've made sure I got mine submitted by that time!

Anything Goes at Incy Wincy Designs

That's right - the theme this week at Incy Wincy Designs is Anything Goes.  We are sponsored this week by Scribbles Designs.

I decided to create another canvas - this time one for the kitchen.  I used several food related digis from Scribbles Designs - Cupcake Tier, Layered Cake, Drink,  Pie Slice 1, Sundae 2 ,  Sundae and Burger .

I also used some Dylusions Ink to spray the canvas.  I added some faint mesh designs with some Distress Ink across the canvas.  I then inked some Magic Mesh with Distress Ink and added that randomly around the canvas.  I die-cut some Memory Box dies using pearlised paper and added these.  I would probably have added some food related ones if I had any!  I also dotted a few pearls around the canvas.
