Snow People

Good Afternoon it's well in the 80's here and here I am writing a post about a snowman card!!!

 

Yes the new challenge over at 12 month's of Christmas link up has begun. The optional theme this month is Snow people and we have a great sponsor

 

The Stamping Boutique

They are offering 2 images as a prize

 

We also have an additional Sponsor:

 

 

Decosse's Dynamite Doodles

 

Who is giving one free digital paper to everyone who links up a minimum of 2 cards to the challenge. You only have to follow the theme if you want to win The stamping Boutique images. A mini set of 6 digital papers will be given to 1 random winner!

 

On to my Design team card:

 

 

This little Guy is called Snowman - Bring it on. I have colored him with Spectrum Noirs and although it doesn't show well in photo I have glittered the snow. I used a white 6x6 card blank and matted this with green card. The paper I have used is from a Decosse's Dynamite Doodles set called Snow Much Fun. More green card framed my image, then I have die cut holly leaves and used skittles as berries for opposing corners.

 

Now come over to the 12 Month's of Christmas Link up and enter your Christmas makes!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



A little help from a friend

Good evening (or morning if you are in Australia!) I can't believe how quickly this year is passing - March already and we are still under a few feet of snow!  

 

Today is the start of Challenge five over at Lil Patch of Crafty friends. The challenge as always is anything goes and you can find the rules here. The main one to observe is you can only enter 10 challenges along with ours.

 

Once again we have some fab sponsors offering great prizes:

 

The Stamping Boutique Offering 2 images but can get 3 if you use a TSB image

 

Flat Friends Boutique Offering 3 images

 

Concetta Kilmer Offering 3 images

 

I have used an image from the Stamping Boutique for my design team make

 

 

This is Help from a friend I loved this image as soon as saw it, you can just imagine the poor fairy collapsed from exhaustion (Or she has been partying and had a little too much nectar to drink!!!)  and the loving butterfly picking her up and carrying her home. I have colored her and the background with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and although it doesn't show on the photo I have used clear Wink of Stella on her wings, parts of the butterfly wings and the sparkle effects in the background. I cut the image using a spellbinder die. I have then matted yellow card onto a white card blank and used some backing paper from Linda Ravenscroft's A touch of Magic cd. I have added some yellow ribbon and a die cut butterfly as embellishments.
