Hi Crafters,

We all have a four legged friend of some sort or another whether it be a dog, cat, hamster, rabbit or as in this case a horse.

That's our theme at Passion For Promarkers this week and here is my design team card.

I've had this wood mounted rubber stamp for ages but never used it and I'm determined to use some of my forgotten stash so here is Shelty...

Christmas Club Challenge #13 Christmas Flowers

Hi Crafters,

The weather has started to warm up here at last and the days are very pleasant but I'm here today to share some Christmas cards for our fortnightly Christmas Card Challenge.

This time Kate asked us to use Christmas Flowers so here are my makes with a running theme of Poinsettias.

This is a digital download with plenty of fussy cutting needed on those flowers.

I've used an Art Sheet image from LOTV and added a glittered wooden sentiment on this card.

I lightly inked the embossing to bring out the wording on this Christmas embossing folder.

And finally an easel card featuring this gorgeous image from a Hunkydory pad.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Please take a peek at the other ladies Christmas makes in the group, you can find the links to their blogs under the 'CCC' tab in my sidebar.

Have a lovely Sunday!

'From The Body' ATC's

Hi Crafters,

'From The Body'

that was the theme of this months ATC swap at Charmed Cards & Crafts and here are the set of ATC's that I created.

I started by stamping and heat embossing the Woodware Vintage Hand stamp and cutting them out. I used distress inks to colour them. I then concentrated on the background and built up the layers using corrugated cardboard, texture paste, gauze, wooden heart-lock & key elements. I sprayed the backgrounds when they had dried with Cosmic Shimmer Mists and left to dry. I then added some gilding wax to highlight parts of the design and texture. My sentiment is a Lindsay Mason Stamp set which I have stamped, embossed and cut apart, inking the edges to define it against the background. Finally, after gluing the sequins I splattered the whole thing with thin white paint using an old tooth brush.

I thoroughly enjoyed making these ATC's and I'm looking forward to getting 'messy' again for next months swap.

Thanks for popping by today, hope to see you here again soon,

Lorraine
