Happy Holidays

 


I love this old stitchy bear stamps image, it's just so pretty. I coloured it with my promarkers. I stamped the greeting with black and then gold ink just off-center. 

The papers were from the First Edition Gilded Winter pack. I deckled the edges with scissors and added some gold ink, crumpling the paper before flattening it again. 

The die cuts were cut on my cameo. They were originally grey card, so I used gold ink on them and a few gems to finish it all off.

    Hey! I saw a glimpse of this when commenting on another posting of yours. Here's why this one caught my eye. I own The Fairy and The Unicorn challenge blog that is an anything goes fantasy topic themed competition. Your image made me think of Little Red Riding Hood and the disguised wolf. But then I also own FarmQuest General Store challenge blog that is an anything farm or country goes topic themed competition. The wolves are part of the country/outdoors/woods/forest/mountains kind of topics we love to see. Take a look and hopefully we will see your artistry shared at these. --Becca

Have A Great Day

How cute is this wee pupper from digi doodle shop. I've had him cut out waiting for me to decide what to do with him for aaaaages! I finally coloured him with my promarkers and decided on this side stepper card. The various elements were cut on my cameo. The paper is from the Nit Wit Paws-ativity collection. I stamped and cut the sentiment by hand and added it to the tree with a bit of twine, to make it look kinda like a swing (and it does swing, side to side at least, lol).

On Your Special Day, Sister

My sister's birthday is coming up in a few weeks and I've been trying for days to make my brain work to make her card and finally I succeeded.  She's also asked for me to make her a dream catcher, so that's going to be a new adventure to try making one as I never have... oh well that's why youtube exists right?  I used an image from Sassy Studio Designs, coloured with my trusty promarkers. The papers came from Jen Hadfield's Pebbles pack layered on brown card. The sentiment/sister was hand stamped, unfortunately I have no idea where it came from! A die cut heart that's been loitering in my draw since goodness knows when and a few gems to finish it off.

Baubles and Bells

So as my ankle proceed to get more painful not less, I went to A&E. After some blood tests and x-ray and a lot of socially distanced sitting around, the doctor ruled out everything else, so agrees with me that it's probably the tendons, but other than to continue with painkillers the only 'cure' is physio... which, is problematic at the moment for obvious reasons. Oh well, we'll see. It is making sitting in my craft room awkward because I'm supposed to keep my foot elevated as much as possible - but I did manage to get my craft on today. If with a small amount of pain. Ah well, art is pain, right? I went with one of my non-traditional paper packs, from hobbycraft. Teal shades are some of my favourites! I coloured the stamps from bugaboo with my promarkers - there is another from the set, a snowflake, which is inside the card, but I forgot to take a picture of that, oops! The frames were cut on my cameo and of course, I couldn't resist the gems... although I ...
