Christmas Card Club Challenge #17 - Use 2 or More Patterned Papers

Hi Crafters,

Hope you're enjoying your weekend.

I've had an early start today as I'm hopefully selling some things at a car boot sale by the time you read this. It's surprising how much stuff we accumulate over time and it's beginning to take over every nook and cranny so we've had a sort out. Wish me luck!

Anyway, the reason you are here is to see my Christmas card for the Club this week so here it is...

ABC Christmas - P is for Penguins

This is the first time I've used my Polychromo pencils since buying them a couple of months ago. I kept putting off making a start, I think I was a little apprehensive as to how I was going to get on with them after using my Promarkers for so many years. I enjoyed learning the new techniques required for shading and laying down the colours though. I'll certainly be using them again soon.

Thanks for joining me today, please visit the other ladies blogs in the group for their fabulous Christmas card inspiration. Links in the side bar.

Fruity!

Hi Crafters,

The weather has certainly changed in this neck of the woods. Yesterday was rather chilly compared to recent days and then there was the rain! With the nights drawing in now too I think we are heading towards Autumn a little soon for my liking.

Never mind, it's warm in my craft room and I've been busy making as usual.

Recipe

Italian Grapevines Stamps and Dies from Heartfelt Creations

Distress Oxide Inks

Sentiment and Background Stamp - Honey Doo Crafts

I began by creating an inky background using Distress Oxides and splashed a little water on for the mottled effect. I then stamped the bunch of grapes on my background using the same colour Distress Oxide ink. After stamping and die cutting the Heartfelt Creations grapes and vines I coloured these with inks too and added a little white pen for the shine on the grapes.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Stars

Hi Crafters,

Carrying on with my promise to post more often here is another card for today.

I've used this swirly star die to cut out the background card and placed glitter card behind. It looks like our little ballerina fairy is really doing some serious magic! I've used an LOTV art pad image again and just cut around her. The sentiment stamps are freebies from magazines.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Allsorts Challenge - #532/3 Sun, Moon and or Stars

Have a lovely day,

Fairy Delights

Hi Crafters,

I'm doing well with my mission to post each day and get some of cards up here on my blog. Thanks for calling by and sharing your comments and encouragement.

Today I have three fairy themed cards, they all started off with experimental inky backgrounds using Distress Oxide inks. I don't often get the chance for 'messy' play but when I do I really enjoy the process.

The two cards above were made using the Papercuts dies by Cathie Shuttleworth. The sentiment stamps and die cut word are from Crafters Companion. I sprayed them both with Crafters Companion Spray & Sparkle - Pearl Diamond.

This card was created using lots of different stamps from Lavinia, Sheena Douglas and magazine freebies. The sentiment die is a Fuzzy Lemon one from Craft Stash.

Challenges I'd like to enter:

Lil' Patch of Crafty Friends - #111 ATG

Wishing you a great week...
