Whiff of Joy - Christmas

We have a fab, easy challenge for you at Whiff of Joy challenge this week – make a Christmas card.  So here’s another one ticked off of the long list that I still need to make.  Every year I say I am going to start in January and every year I run out of time and start a major panic around about now!  I’ve been missing again quite a bit – I have had a load DT/magazine work that I need to get out of the way which has been keeping me away from the computer.  Things should be back on even keel by next week hopefully.  So sorry I have not been able to visit you all.
This card fits in with Cute Card Thursday challenge – teen terrors.  I think Oakley is the perfect image for a teenager’s Christmas card.  And I’ve just realised this card also fits with A Spoonful of Sugar challenge as well, brown and either blue or pink.And it also fits this weeks Saturday Spotlight challenge (just lol) which is Ornament Obsessions (thanks for the heads up Vicki xx).

I’m back to the aqua colour scheme again, no surprises there then.  Found this pad of BG paper that I can’t even remember buying so heaven only knows how long I have had it *blush*

Recipe:
Stamps: Whiff of Joy Oakley with Christmas Bauble, Sentiment HOTP
Paper: Basic Grey Mistletoe & Pear
Tools: MS snowflake punch, Spellbinders Create a flake 1 die
Embellies: Raffia ribbon from Hobbycrafts, Bling brads and button and spacers from The Hobby House
Colouring Medium: Distress inks and Twinkling H2O’s

Friday Sketchers

Oops, I forgot to schedule this post after I had made and photographed the card.  I have used the sketch on Friday Sketchers - Jeanette has done such a brilliant sketch that I just had to use it.  I am finding it more and more difficult to squeeze in more than a couple of sketches each week, hopefully once the Christmas rush is out of the way things will settle down again (yeah right lol).

Must dash, got a pan of lamb curry on the go mmmmmmmmm .......

Recipe: Stamps: Motivet Santa in Chimney, Sentiment Studio G
Papers: MME
Tools: MS snowflake punch, MS frond punch
Embellies: Flower, ribbon  and dew drops from a Crafty Feeling kit, snowflake from The Hobby House

Create4Fun challenge

I hope you're not getting bored, this week sees another of my sketches on the Create4Fun challenge.  Jenny (Create4Fun) has decided to go with mostly sketches for the challenge blog as you all seem to love working to a sketch.

I have used one of the adorable new Christmas stamps designed by Crissy Armstrong for Whimsy Stamps.  When I saw this image my heart melted ..... I wonder why lol.  Crissy really does capture such great feeling in her images.

I used flowers from a Crafty Feeling kit, and guess what!  The Stickles came out again lol.  I used it on the snowflake brads and also on Santa's whiskers and beard.  Liquid Appliqué was applied to his hat and cuffs.

Recipe:
Stamps:  Whimsy Stamps Jolly Puppy Kisses, sentiment Studio G (I think)
Papers:  MME
Embellies: Flowers and Dew Drops - Crafty Feeling, brads and ribbon from stash

Sketch Saturday

Here's my GD card for Sketch Saturday, I have loved the sketches I have done so far, although at first I balked when I saw this one but was amazed how easy it all came together.

I couldn't fit the sentiment in as per the sketch so me being me I had to tweak it again and used the Joy charm as the sentiment. I couldn't let the card go unstickled lol, so the flower is now all sparkly (had to do some more tweaking as there was room for only one flower).  I've added some Liquid Appliqué to the snow on the branch.

Recipe:
Stamp: Whiff of Joy Winter Love Birds by Alison Acton
Paper: Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses
Embellies: Hydrangea from Crafty Feeling, rose from Magnolia, charm from The Works, ribbon from Dainty Supplies, Liquid Appliqué from Simon Says Stamp

Just Magnolia Challenge - Masking

Our challenge this week at Just Magnolia is  Masking.  I love using this technique, and the rest of the DT has come up with some fantastic cards!  Here's a little masking tutorial I did a while back.
I have used images from the new Magnolia Christmas release, they are just so adorable.  The papers are also Magnolia (love them).
The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts which I have blinged with some Cosmic Shimmer Lava Red.

Lili of the Valley Challenge

My GD spot has flown over so fast!  Here's my second card for the challenge, this fortnight we have a fabulous sketch to work to.  I just had to use these new yummy Kaiser papers - aren't the colours just so rich and gorgeous!  Love them.

I had a disaster with this card, I had just finished colouring the image (Uru and bird) and what did I go and do???  Drop the open mahogany distress ink pad - face down - right in the middle of the image.  Oooh I could have cried.  It was beyond saving so had to start over again.

I spritzed the flowers with Cosmic Shimmers and even managed to squeeze in a touch of Stickles along the bottom of the image.
