I wanted to try and use the sketch at Sketch Saturday shown below.
So I needed a large image and as luck would have it I had already stamped and coloured my new purchase from Sue who was clearing out for some new stamps I expect. Anyway I used the Penny Black stamp, Holly Jolly although mine is wood mounted and separate.
I coloured it using my watercolour crayons and glittered the baubles - that was the fun bit!!! I mounted the image onto silver miri card. The DP is from DCWV and the blue and green pieces are from Core'dinations Super Assortments - Elements, duly distressed!! The cord is from Dovecraft and called Sticky crochet - I won it in a candy some time ago now. The snowflakes are from two punches by Xcut and Crafts Too. I have used glitter card and the miricard for contrast. The sentiment is my own using a free font called Santas Big Secret, and fits in nicely with the challenge at Allsorts this week - Christmas carol or song title.
The other challenges I am entering are :-
Simon Says Challenge - Winter love (Cats love mice don't they!!)
Papertake Weekly - Christmas Crackers,
Everybody Art Challenge - Christmas,
Creative Card Crew - Favourite things (Penny Black stamps, Glitter, and Core'dinations card stock!!),
Pollycraft Monday - Christmas Theme,
Sparkle Creations - Christmas Card and
One Stop Craft Challenge - Snowflakes.
I am so pleased I am making Christmas cards at the moment because I need to!!
Don't forget I still have CANDY until 30th November.
