Penny Black Saturday #168 ~ Delicious....

Morning!! Penny Black Saturday has rolled around quickly again.....and today's challenge is......

'Delicious'...

Create a card/project using your Penny Black stamps featuring something yummy!!

Check out all the gorgeous DT cards for inspiration :)

I have used this sweet image of very cute mice enjoying some lovely strawberry jam :)

I managed to find the perfect papers to go with the image (not sure who by!!) Love the 'sweet as a little strawberry' quote on the papers.

I have used the fabulous sketch #118 from Sweet Sketch Wednesday for the layout (I have rotated it) and I am also entering the final 'goodbye' challenge over at Stamp Something.

This week's prize is a wonderful $20 voucher from 1-2-3 Stitch :)

A great shopping spree for one lucky winner!

Looking forward to seeing all your 'Delicious' entries and thanks for looking xx

Red & White Christmas....

Today's card is something a little different for me :)

 All stamping and no colouring!!
I have made a twisted easel card using no patterned papers and just some embossing for texture :)

The gorgeous stamps are from a Christmas set by Inkadinkado and I have used an all red & white colour scheme which reminds me of a Scandinavian/Folk art look.
The snowflake border is a Martha Stewart punch.

Penny Black Saturday #167 ~ Make a Scene!

Morning! A fun challenge this week at Penny Black Saturday :)

'Make a Scene'....

I really enjoyed making my card this week, once I decided I wanted to create a Christmas scene.....I had great fun masking all the elements together and even did a cloud background with chalk which is a 1st for me and I think it finished it off nicely :)

I have used 5 different stamps to create the winter wonderland.....the little hedgie, sentiment and reindeer/santa flying are from the transparent set - Best Day Ever....

the teddy is Christmas Tree Ted 4015K & the trees are Snow Dust 4102K.       

The images are coloured with promarkers with a little prisma pencil for shading :)

I am entering my card into ~

Embossed Christmas & Squiggle News....

Well it's my 1st post of September :) I really hope to blog more this month.....my posts have certainly been dwindling!!! I am always busy, busy at the moment!!

Today's Christmas card is a sample I have made for an 'Embossed Cards' class I will be teaching tomorrow at my local craft shop......Papercrafts Boutique in Elgin ~ home of Sugar Nellie Stamps :)

I have used a cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder for the background and for the gorgeous Inkadinkado wreath stamp I have heat embossed onto special mirror card suitable for heat embossing!

It's a lovely effect.....gold on gold and I added little red gems for accents.

 

I am entering my card into Fab n Funky's #88 ~ Go mad with Embossing challenge!
