christmas card club challenge 20..Christine's choice Winter Wonderland

still determined to use stamps I have bought and never used!......

this is the Sheena Douglas A little bit festive....Farmhouse christmas is just seemed to me to be the perfect image for a Winter wonderland....
Stamped with chipped saphire distress ink and using a water brush pulled out some of the colour....a little dab of sqeezed lemon in the windows....snow added by stamping and embossing with white embossing powder....the die cuts are impressionobsession fir tree branch...and tattered lace poinsettia...and tiny fir tree branch from the christmas florals set.....

I really enjoyed this challenge thank you Christine....made me do some stamping....
willbe popping round all your blogs later girls .....

wedding acceptance.....

We have Dear friends in Hay on Wye  who we have been visiting firstly as bed and breakfast customers and then after about 15 years adopted family and when Hannah my friend Julies daughter was to be married we were so thrilled to be invited....the theme being a farm house B&B was sheep.....so this is the card I made to say YES......and inside TRY STOPPING US.....

the grass and sheep are cut using my cricut machine and then hand tinted....the clouds embossing folder is embossalicious from crafters companion.....the cloud is cut on my scan and cut and the yes written with the pen on the scan and cut......
hope you are having a crafty day......

Christmas card club challenge #19 Hazels choice....something beginning with S.....

well I have been playing with my scan and cut and having found the most wonderful blog with lots of free SGV files on it ....I have been having fun...

not a very good photo...but I hope you can see the glitter.....the original cut file was much smaller so this large card...6x6 is me playing.....these are the original size.....

but the cut files are easy to adapt on the scan and cut....pop by birdscards.....she has the most wonderful stuff.....
the stamped sentiment is a creative expressions stamp and the let it snow on the big card is Tonic...other than that its white and silver card and lots of glitter....
Looking forward to seeing all your lovely creations girls......

New dies.....

oh these dies from Sue Wilson are lovely!....if hard work the poinsettia took 11 cuts to get right I found I needed the metal shim in my E bosser in addition to the normal plates...I tried everything till I discovered this worked!...wetting the card...wax paper....pulling my hair out!......

so having cracked it I thought Ihad better make another!

the dies I used
Sue Wilson Festive collection.....Filigree poinsettia     Holly spray,    Holly accesory kit....
Tattered Lace Christmas sentiments
lots of pearls and glittery red tiny flat rhinestones...hobby house.....
Imoulded the flowers on the white version and I think I like that ....
Hope you are having a good day, I am going off this week to Builth Wells to the antiques fair and to stay with some dear friends in Hay on Wye.....fingers crossed for the weather!
