Carol's Challenge..No Patterned Paper..

Hi Girls

Well here we are back to blogging..

Christmas came ..went and is on its way back again with our Christmas Card Blog..

This time its Carols choice with no patterned paper.

The image is one I downloaded free from the internet a while ago.

I just loved this jolly looking Santa..all the better when it's free.

I colored him in with my Spectrum Noirs..getting a little better at this now iv'e had a bit more practice.

I mounted him on to gold mirror card which is mounted onto glitter card from docrafts. I finished it off with a sentiment and gems.

Knitted Snowmen.

These Snowmen are what I have been knitting since I have had problems with my hands...

I hope to be back to card making soon now my hands are been sorted...

My friend Janet now owns them and they are going to be a present for her great grand children Logan and Charlie hence the L and C on their hats...

Hope you like them and please feel free to leave your comments....

Dolphins in Pastels.

 This is my drawing of dolphins drawn in pastels on velour paper.

This is a drawing I did for a commission sale, it is the first drawing I have ever sold.

I hope you like it and will leave a comment about it.

DEB'S CHALLENGE...FOUR SMALL TAGS OR CARDS.

This is my entry for Deb's challenge. Four small cards.

I had decided to make tags out of parchment...

but while I was looking for a pattern I came across a sheet of images on parchment paper.

I used a cutting die to make the cards and another one to cut two of the images.

I used gems and peel off's to embellish.

KERRY'S CHALLENGE...A SKETCH.

This is my challenge...and what a challenge...

You would not believe how many times I changed the colour and design.

Using parts from the Hunkydory Christmas pack I bought recently from C&C.

The Santa I glittered with Glamour Dust on his hat, beard and eye brows.

I added stickles to his eyes, mouth and berries.

I put Glossy Accents on the leaves and used candis for the three buttons.

Finishing with some red organza ribbon and a sentiment.

Dawn's Challenge...Adding an Angel..

I made this card not particularly for Dawn' Challenge.

I remembered I had seen this a few years back at The Hobby House..

The main tree is a stamp and the embellishment's are stamps which I used on shrink plastic.

If you look carefully you can see why I have put it into Dawn's Challenge for adding an Angel.

Sue C's Challenge...Humour.

This is Sue C's Challenge. Humour.

This I found a difficult one as I could not find anything that was humurous.

I found this topper which I bought from Hobby House a long time ago.

The outer shape is a Sizzex cutting die and I made a candi button flower to finish.

Chris's Challenge..Santa in Blue.

This is Chris's Challenge Santa in Blue.

I used a Sizzex die for the Santa and a punch for the snowflakes.

Santa's fluffy bits are flower soft.

I used distress inks for the background and finished with snow flurry acetate to cover the front.

Janet's 65th Birthday Gift.

Just in time for my friend Jane's 65th Birthday..just as well as it is for her..

This art work is done on velour paper in pastels, which is my favourite medium.
