Santa's Coming

Hi Folks, my card to share today is for this week's Bah Humbug Challenge - Lace.  I didn't have any real lace that matched my card so I used Martha Stewart's Lace Doily punch.  The image, I think, is from a very old and possibly discontinued Joanna Sheen unmounted Christmas Sheet, stamped with Adirondack Cranberry. The papers are left over from a Christmas paper pack that I bought a couple of years ago and I think it was a Daisy and Dandelion set.  The ribbon and flowers and leaves came from my stash.


I am also entering my card into these challenges
Crafty Creations - Christmas in July
Creative Inspirations - Christmas in July
Crafty Catz - Christmas in July
Jules Crafty Snippets - everything came from my scraps box, apart from the flower and leaves, so I hope it will qualify

I hope you like my card and many thanks for visiting.

Santa's on his way

Hi, my card is for two challenges. I have followed Sketch 24 over at Sketch and Stash, the old is the embellies on the side, they were brads from a selection box I got last year, and the strings of gold pearls are the new. The other challenge is The Pink Elephant which is 'Colour me Wonderful' translated as anything coloured with your favourite medium. My image is from the Daisy and Dandelion Christmas Selection and I have coloured using my Copics just got these a couple of months ago and am loving them. I did make Santa's sack a bit too dark, so scibbled randomly over it with the blending pen to try and give it a used look, not sure if it shows up very well though. Finished it off with a peel off greeting.

The backing paper is Funky Fairys, everything else came from my craft box. Many thanks for visiting my wee space on the web, especially as I am not posting as often as I should.

Best Friends

Hi, today's card is for The Pink Elephant Challenge - Plaid, No Ribbon and any number of Brads.

The image is Messy Rabbit from Joanna Sheen coloured with my Lyras and mounted onto nesties. The snowflakes are brads and I have used brads to attach the sentiment which is computer generated and stuck onto a nestie tag. The bp is from Daisy and Dandelion's Christmas pad. The cardstock is Coredinations and I used a Martha Stewart punch.

Thank you very much for visiting my blog,. Beryl x

Christmas is Coming

Today my card is for two challenges, firstly I have followed Sketch72 for Fridays Sketchers and I have added some stars which qualifies my card for Rainbow Lady's Challenge which is for Christmas with the Stars. The image is from Daisy and Dandelion coloured with Copics, the bp's are Daisy and Dandelion and Papermania, text is from a set of clear stamps that I bought from my local craft shop and cannot remember the manufacturer, sorry. The red mirri silk card and stars come from my craft box. Many thanks for stopping by and for any comments which you may wish to make. I really appreciate them thanks.

Messy Rabbit & Friend

Hello again, my card for today fits two challenges. This weeks challenge at My Time to Craft which is Snow Buddies, and I have followed Sketch No20 for Sketch and Stash. The image is from Joanna Sheen's Messy Rabbit Christmas Collection for this year and the sentiment is from a set of messages that I bought from my local craft shop and have thrown the packaging away and cannot remember the make. The bp is Daisy and Dandelion and the ribbon, peeloff borders and silver mirror matting all come from my craft box. I have coloured the image with my new Copics, still getting used to them. Thank you for visiting today and for any comments you may wish to make. Beryl x

A second post for today

Looks like I'm finding my missing mojo, so here is a second post for today. Again I have stuck with a Christmas theme, this is for The Pink Elephant Challenge which is a sketch. I like the sketch challenges because I do have problems with layouts occasionally. I have unearthed Baggy Jumper Messy Rabbit, from Joanna Sheen, for this card. He is coloured with watercolour pencils and matted onto dark red card and silver mirri. I have used the same card for matting the bp and the crossway's strip required by the sketch. The bp is another one left from last year, punched silver glitter snowflakes and a foiled sentiment from the Daisy and Dandelion Christmas Paper Pack complete the card. Thank you very much for visiting and I appreciate any comments you may wish to make. Beryl x

Sketch and Stash

I decided to try making some Christmas Cards to get me out of my block, this one went quite well so hopefully this will work for me. The card is for the Sketch and Stash Challenge No.15. The stamps are the new part of this challenge they are from the Daisy and Dandelion Christmas Set, the neglected part are the backing paper and brads, they are left over from last Christmas, the dark cs came from my stash box. I coloured the image with Promarkers and watercolour pencils. I couldn't find my fluffy stuff so I used the Sakura clear glitter pen for all the white bits. I couldn't find a red ink pad in my box to match with the reds on the card so I tried with the Promarker used on the image - and it worked really well. I hope you like my card and thank you for visiting and for any comments you may wish to make. Beryl x
