Christmas Wishes ...

Back on track a Christmas card today, yey!

An old Tilda but she is just a delight to colour.

Created a scene with the trees and plenty of snow.

I have used free Nitwit papers, ribbon, stamens, cheesecloth, sentiment, dies,  
puff paint, snow & pearls.

Plenty of hand stitching for a change too!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -

I Love Promarkers - Christmas Trees (I won Top 3)!

My Mums Craft Shop - Winter Wonderland (I won Top 3)!

Thank you for your visit today

Warmest, Winter, Wishes ...

Another Christmas card off the list today and I have been playing with one of the Gorjuss girls for this one.

Still adore that Tim Holtz Pine Cone die this year, I think it is one of my favourite dies of all time!

I have also used charm, ribbon, bells, sentiment, papers, snow, tree, sparkles.  

Completely hand stitched as always.

I would like to enter this into the following challenge -

The Crafty Pad - Christmas is Coming (I won Top 5)!

Thank you for visiting my blog today and I hope you have a lovely crafting weekend.

Have a Magical Christmas Son ...

Finally finishing my nearest & dearest Christmas cards, as the title suggests this one is for my Son.

I have used this stamp many times but I just thought my pine cone die works brilliantly with it!

Besides my colouring has come along way since then especially red
which I have always found not to my liking but this one I am pleased with.

The stamp is an Elyzbells one but sadly they shut down some time ago.

Coloured in the usual way so I won't detail that.

Sizzix Pine Cone covered with Diamond Dust.

Sentiments are CC Designs & Adorables (as before).

I am entering this card in the Passion for Promarkers Mega Christmas Challenge which is 'Celebrations'

Waiting for Christmas ...

Just a quick little card from me today using the Adorables range by Jayne Nesterenko.

I purchased the complete set last year and as the name suggests they are just adorable!

Such an innocent quality about them don't you think?

---

Pretty simple this one but I am rather pleased with the results.  

Alittle bit of distressing, colouring and some ribbon & lace.

Can you believe it a card by me without any stitching, don't worry it won't last long!!!!

Thanks for popping by, take care Jane x

Little Holly ....

Today I have 'Little Holly' from the wonderful Lili of the Valley latest release.  This is the second card I have made using this little cutie but this time I have gone for a night time background.  I have coloured her using a selection of Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Prismas to create this affect.  As you can see I have taken my time and done it 'Pointillism' style.  

---

I have used navy linen cardstock, Papermania backing paper, Rymans white cardstock.

The sentiment is from the Adorables range of stamps, some red seam binding and I have recycled the holly leaves & berries from an old cracker, sprinkled with Twinklets diamond dust, all finished off with some more hand stitching.  Almost forgot some Stickles Crystal glitter for the candle to give a warm glow.

---

I am entering this card into the Lili of the Valley challenge this week which is 'Warm and Cozy'

Thanks for looking, take care, Jane x

It's the most wonderful time of the year ...

Back again, glorious sunshine here in the South East and I am posting a Christmas card!

---

This stamp is from the Adorables range called 'Caring' I just love the images designed by Jayne Nesterenko, gorgeous warming images don't you think.

---

Image coloured in Promakers, sentiment is also from the stamp set.  Papers I think were either a mag freebie or download, sorry can't remember any more detail than that.  Snowflakes are a Martha Stewart punch with Stickles 'Crystal' glitter.  A little bit of stitching this time using a  'In Stitch'z' by Bazzill template called 'Flourishes'.  Finally I have used a little TH 'Antique Linen distress ink.

---

On a roll at the moment, loads of ideas and not enough time.  I am currently playing with some LOTV stamps but I also have a Tilda to post too.  Please visit me in blogland again very soon.

Take care, Jane x
