CHRISTMAS DIGI

Morning Blogland!!!

It's a lovely sunny, if cold, morning here in Essex!! and another challenge beckons over at Die Cut Dreams Christmas Club

This week the theme is :

DIGI CHRISTMAS

So we need you to make a christmas card with a digital image - easy peasy!!!!

We are sponsored this week by the lovely Roberta from Prairie Fairy Designs - you really need to pop over and have a look at her lovely images - this week we all got to work with one of our choice and I chose "Snow Fairy - isn't she the cutest!!!!

I coloured her with pencils and blended with odorless white spirit for a change to give a more subtle look, I've glittered her wings, coat, hat and boots along with the snowman's "bobble", the swirls and snowflakes were all cut out of glitter card, the sentiment is one of mine which you can find at Sentiments 4 You  and I have re-sized it so that it punches out of the EK Success "Ticket Punch" perfectly :o)

My other challenges are :

A Spoonful of Sugar - Lets Get Punchy

ABC Challenge - G is for Glitter

Alphabet Challenge - A is for Angels or Fairies

Totally Papercrafts - Bling it On

One Stop Craft Challenge - Anything Goes and Blog Hop

GET WELL SOON :o(

Hi All!!

Had some sad news last night - my Aunt .. .who is 92 ... has had a heart attack and is in hospital, she is quite frail and I'm off to see her shortly.

I wanted to make her a card this morning before I went and was searching for a sentiment to put on it and realised I didn't have any!

So I thought - there's probably quite a few of us that don't make "get well" cards very often and when you need some words - you haven't got any - so I designed a set of 6 especially for that and have just uploaded them to my blog Sentiments 4 You

I think there's something there for all ages, male or female :o)

Here's my card I'm taking with me

I tried a different technique with my Letraset Aquamarkers ... I coloured directly to the stamp and then spritzed with water and stamped to give a watercolour effect - then cut the image out with nesties - I did the same with the sentiment, butterflies are both Martha Stewart, paper is from the Henbury Lane collection by Papermania

Thanks for stopping by :o)
