Snowflakes and Angels



Morning peeps another cold one here.Can not believe we have so little time before Christmas will be upon us.On with today's card.He was a free stamp with a magazine,such a cute face.I stamped and coloured him with promarkers and cut him out with a bauble nestie.I added some glamour dust to his wings and halo,i have also edged the same with the dust too. I mounted him on the next size nestie and embossed it with the snowflake embossing folder.The blue snowflake backing paper is from my stash along with the ribbon.I put some pale blue flat backed pearls on the ribbon.I used to different size snowflakes from the spellbinders create a flake as embellishments

Traditional colours


Here i go again with the house Mouse Stamps lol.I really do like this image.I have coloured it with promarkers and cut it out with a shapeabilities bauble.I have chalked the edge with green just to take the harsh white away.I have matted some gold mirror board with some red card, I found the green snowflake paper in my stash.I used the spellbinders poinsettia die to make the flowers and a Marianne Design die for the swirls.I added some tiny yellow pearls to the centre of the flowers

Good afternoon peeps.I dont know about you but i am frozen today,the temperature here in Yorkshire has really changed.On to today's card,I have used a smashing image From Karen's Doodles.I have coloured him with promarkers and added flower soft for the fir trim on his coat and hat.I used an edgeability on the silver and red card,i embossed the silver with the snowflake cuttlebug folder and added some red ribbon and a bow.For the corners i used the same folder and cut them out with a scalloped square nestie .The same folder was used on the red card and cut with a scalloped circle nestie which i then cut in half and mounted behind the image.

Christmas Mice

Second post from me today,got to keep crafting to keep warm lol.Don't these mice just bring a smile to your face.I coloured the image with promarkers and kept it simple by just tinting the edge of the shape with an ink pad.The backing paper is from my stash,i am trying to use up what i have before i buy any more.The sentiment is a stamp. The image was cut using a nestability and i cut the same shape in a larger size and ran that through the snowflake cuttlebug folder .I have also used the Spellbinders Create a flake.

A dove of peace



Afternoon all,its perishingly cold here today and very dull.Thought it was about time i got myself in gear and started on my Christmas cards.I just love the house mouse stamps you can get especially now you can get them unmounted.So here is the first of many. I have coloured the image with pro-markers,i added a very light grey to the bird as he just looked too flat left white.I cut the image out with a nestibilities die.I used the snowflake cuttlebug folder on the white card and used a blue chalk on the mat.I also chalked the Poinsettia,these are the shapeabilities from spellbinder,for the centres i used a pale blue gem
