12 Days of Christmas card challenge - Day 6

And here is my second card for the Prima Christmas card challenge. This time I've been inspired by  Day 6 - Stacey Young (below)

I just love the reindeer, textures and colours.



 
For this card, I started by using an ink pad over my polka dot mask onto a kraft card blank then layering corrugated card and Prima Fairy Belle paper. I've used a brick wall mask and embossing paste on burlap to create the house base then adding paper and resin shutters, which if you look closely have been highlighed with "snow" (paint!). The roof is resist canvas decorated with chipboard snowflake and crystal embellie. A chipboard reindeer stands upon snow created by using strips of voile material, embossing paste and a smattering of glass glitter along with crystal swirls and frosty flower arrangement.

12 Days of Christmas card challenge - Day 4

Hello readers! I'm back to share with two cards with you for the Prima 12 Days of Christmas card challenge. The idea is to make a card taking inspiration from one (or more!) of the twelve cards made by the DT. 

My first card was inspired by  Day 4 - Hege Lundquist (below) ggggggH

I just loved the fresh colours and flourishes. Here is my take on it!

I started off by using the sticky labels off the back of chipboard snowflakes as a mask and spread over some gesso paint. Next I stitched around the card and flicked some shimmer mist over the snowflakes.
This cute resin birdhouse is surrounded by an assortment of beautiful flowers, North Country chipboard and bling flourishes! I've finished off with lace and muslin along with bottom, highlighted with gesso paint.

Hello and welcome a new challenge over at The Ribbon Reel this fortnight! Sadly this will be me and Pauline's last week on the DT. I've had a wonderful time on this very talented team and will be sad to go!


Pauline is our host this week and has chosen this bright and beautiful inspiration photo and asks you to create a card / project with all the COLOURS of the RAINBOW,
plus RIBBON & TWINE.

I've made this sweet and simple new baby card by fashioning some white embossing paste  into clouds and flicking lightly with paint for lots of texture. The kite is made with triangles of felt and Bakers Twine along with knotted Grosgrain ribbon. I've put colourful twine along the bottom of the card and finished with a Candy Stripe button.

I've gone quite simple with this card, starting with layering roughed up Coredinations with kraft card that has been embossed using white embossing paste with a Prima damask mask (!) and tucked some pretty lace behind. Two squares of embossed and sanded Coredinations nestle under this lovely metal sentiment. I've used this gorgeous Bridal White satin ribbon for a lavish bow and glued some pom pom trim around the pearl gem.

A {Labor} of Love

Welcome to a new challenge over in The Shabby Tearoom! Debbie is your lovely host this week and asks we create card or project using COLOURS FROM THE PHOTO & A BANNER.

I just love this weeks inspo pic and tried  to reflect as much of it as I could in my card! I stuck die cut stars onto the kraft card blank like a stencil and painted over the top and removed them. I've added a ribbon banner and paper rosette (by Tim Holtz) along with the 'Snowmen Melt My Heart' (yes, really!) digi stamp from Robyns Fetish which I've altered to say 'So'!

Vintage Vibe

We have a new challenge over at The Ribbon Reel blog, and Helen is our wonderful host this fortnight and asks we create a card / project in BLACK & WHITE with a shot of PINK plus RIBBON.

I must admit this colour scheme slightly worried me, as it's not normally what I use but I think I pulled it off! I love the papers which have been sat in my stash for ages, which I gave some wonky stitching. A doily has been layered with music paper and a Tim H birdcage die cut (which has been subtley stamped), scallop circle, chipboard circle and voile and felt heart with a flash of pink from this pretty rose.

Seam binding has been threaded through the base of the birdcage and shredded the ends and scrunched up for a bit of texture. I finished with a greeting stamped onto music paper.


White Seam Binding, Tea Rose, Bakers Twine and Heart pin all available from The Ribbon Reel.
