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.

  5. 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).

Meowy Christmas Kitty

  I picked this from All Dressed Up after winning two of their beautiful images from an Outlawz challenge. Friends of mine just got a new kitten and this will be perfect for them for xmas. I coloured the image with my promarkers and used papers from hobbycrafts traditional chrismtas pack. The stocking embellishment came from the matching embellishment set. The sentiment was stamped from a set I was given a while ago.

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 ...
