Snowy Christmas..


Here is one of my fav christmasy cards for this year..
I have stamped the wintery background together with edwin/tilda skaters and coloured using promarkers. (pearl blue/pastel blue/caramel/terracota/tan/dusky pink) I have added lots of glitter for the sheen of the snow and ice.. I used pale blue cardstock for the matting and layering and used pale blue ribbon and white paper flowers with blue gem flowers to embellish..
I love the softness of this card. Hope you like it too...

Gardening Tilda

Hello all, I hope you have all had a nice Christmas. 

I have had a great collection of crafting goodies for christmas off my lovely husband.  Here is a card I have made using my new tilda gardening stamp. (isn't she just beautiful) 


To make this card I stamped the tilda image onto white cardstock.  I coloured the image using promarkers (leaf green, emerald, caramel, dusky pink and henna) I layered the image onto light green cardstock. I die cut a border with the same coloured green card using a marianne die and then threaded green ribbon with white stitching through. The backing paper (doodlebug) was layered onto darker green cardstock and adhered to a 6x6 white card blank.. To finish the card I attached the stamped sentiment at the bottom..

Thank you for looking and I hope you like this card..

Christmas Angel


Here is a plain and simple Christmas Design.

I have stamped the magnolia image onto a white oval die cut and mat and layered onto pale yellow scalloped oval die cut. I have die cut the lattice design border/strip and attached to the pale patterned background. The image is coloured with promarkers and highlighted with glitter. It is then finished off with 4 yellow and white flowers.




From me to you


I made this card using the Helz Cuppleditch (Bloom & grow) papers. I mat and layered the patterened papers onto orange textured card. I stamped the sentiment and image, and coloured using Promarkers.  I attached the ribbon and a ribbon embellishment (orange flower).
I think the colours of this card are very fresh and calming.  And a change from the many christmas themes at the moment.

I hope you like.
