Santas Tipple

Wowsers, it's Thursday already people!

I hope you are all having a good week!

Lol, I'm just thinking that my blogposts are a bit like buses! 

None for ages then they all appear at once!

On to my project!

I made a card using a brand new image,

it's called Santas Tipple & is just one of the fantastic 

new set of images available at Just Inklined! 

I think this would be a great Christmas card for a guy!

As these are pencil drawn, the lines are much softer! I totally love them all! 

The paper is from Southfields Black & Silver Christmas background paper pad.

I used holographic silver mirror card & plain black card

from my stash to matt & layer.

As the lines were soft, I wanted to colour him in with soft colours.

I had a couple of ideas up my sleeve, but this is what I did!

I coloured the image with flexmarkers, adding a pop of colour

with the holly on Santas hat! He's so jolly looking & he

looks like he's looking forward to his tipple too!

The sentiment was made on my PC using a fantastic free font

called White Christmas. I wrapped some twine around the 

card, added a metal snowflake which has been in my stash for 

a very long time & stuck a red self-adhesive gem at the centre.

Thanks for popping by! I always appreciate your visits!

Here's my project

Our sponsor this time is A Day For Daisies.

I used "Banana Fairy", a sponsor image.

(Sorry, their site is down for maintainence so will link when I can!)

I used Xcut scalloped heart dies to cut the tag & mats.

The letters were die cut with Sizzix First Step Alphabet dies

I printed out the image twice, coloured with a mix of Promarkers

& Flexmarkers, fussy cut around them then layered for some

dimension. The CS is from Southfield Stationers,

the gingham paper is from Carftwork Cards

A Baby Is Born

Good Morning lovely blogger, I have  card to share today!

The current challenge theme over at The Crafting Cafe is 

A Baby Is Born!

Interpret as you will, create a project & link it up so we can all 

come over to visit your blog & Oooh & Ahh over it! lol

Here's my creation!

I've made a little shaker Christmas card.

The image is AKV Nativity Baby Jesus from our sponsor 

Bugaboo Stamps.

The base card is 5"x5" Kraft & the papers are from my stash!

I've had them for ages but don't know who they are by as they came in a goodie box 

as far as I can recall! I added some good old Peel Off borders which are 

actually the waste from between bubble border strips. The little dots are

also waste from the middle of the bubbles.

Sorry about the photos but it was really windy outside where

I normally take my pics & the card almost blew away several times.

It has gotten so shaken up that the glitter has gone a bit static

& is clinging on to the acetate! lol.

There is actually a little silver fibre bow at the bottom of the shaker

window but I'm not sure you can make it out in the photo! lol

Thanks for popping by! I do hope you can play in the challenge!
