Sylvie's Card....Silver and one other colour..

My card for this challenge was great to do..

I used silver mirror card for the main card and used cutting dies as a black silhouette effect for the sleigh, reindeer and tree, finishing off with peel offs for the stars, reins and frame.

Clare's Card...Use Kraft Card some where...

On this card I used Kraft card as the main feature.

I used a Christmas tree embossing folder, then cut out the shape with cutting dies, then followed the lines of the tree with Stickles.

I cut out the corners in the Kraft card and finished with a Kraft card tag and sentiment.

Sue W's Challenge..Snowballs and Glitter..

This is Sue's challenge.

I found the freebie background decoupage whilst I was looking for other items for my cards..

The boy image is a freebie, which I stamped onto colored papers then cut out to decorate his clothing. 

The snowballs are made out of cotton wool balls..

I used stickles glitter for the snow, water and berries..

Finishing off with a sentiment.

Steam Punk

In between making my Christmas Cards I had a Birthday Card to make for my partners son.

The image is from my good friend Mark.

I coloured it using my Spectrum Noir Pens and grunged the outer with Distress Inks.

The clock face is a shrink plastic freebie that I got in a magazine.

I cut out the lettering on my Ecraft and finished embellishing it with ribbon and brads.

The lace effect underneath the son I am not sure what that is called but it made a good effect.

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.
