Christmas Dreams!

 

 

Hi! How are you all today?

Continuing with the Christmas theme- I thought I'd dig out a few sets that haven't see too much ink of late. I absolutely LOVE the deer in this set.. 

Creating this card was fun. I wanted a one-layer card (ok..minus the bakers twine!) and wanted a background using Distress inks. I reckoned the quickest way was by using an ancient Embossing Ink pen that I scribbled all over my coloured (Copic & Promarker) image. Sprinkle over the embossing powder and then heat to set.

 I wanted to have the reindeer flying in front of the moon, so made a simple circle mask.

 I added lots of different coloured ink, added some mini stars & the twine for the reins

I used this set 'Critters Ever After' for the sentiment

So there it is.. a fun card you could send to a child.. so many of them are dreaming about what their presents might be and there are certainly more than a few adults with a few dreams of their own! Mine involve peace, quiet, a good book and a cup of tea!!

See you next week!

Christmas Wreath!

Good morning! Yay; managed to post in the morning!
Is it too early to post about Christmas? Will you throttle me?
I did warn you if you didn't clean the shop out of Harvest of Memories, that I'd be back with a Christmas one.. so ta daaa!
I've been surprised at how versatile this set is.. just look..

I've not even got around to focussing on the bigger stamps yet!

The poinsettias are made from the leaves too- just trimming of the stem portions and adhering two together. Just shows how fab those 5 little plain leaves are. I'd die-cut a circle out of the card & made a 'hoop' out of cardstock to mount the leaves on, which meant I could easily raise the wreath off the card blank too.

Having been Christmas crafting for some months now, I'm getting ready for the next 'occasion'. That might well be Easter or Valentines. Maybe I just might do this set again next week ?

Well- better vamoosh!

See you next Tuesday,

Keren xx
