Last Christmas card

Oops, I just found a Christmas card I had done and completely forgot about, it didn’t even get it’s photograph taken till last night!  Talk about dizzy, that’s me lol.  The image is Nellie Snellen Take a Present

The sentiment stamp is Lili of the Valley Grunge Christmas Postmarks.

Sarah Kay

Whenever my mojo goes walkabout a Sarah Kay stamp always helps me find it and this past few days the old mojo didn’t only go walkabout, it got totally lost!  I had to force myself to sit down yesterday to get some DT work done but just could not find it in me so I decided to dig out my Sarah Kays and have a little play.  I set out to colour the image with only Prismacolor pencils but reached for the Copics as well, I must be pre-programmed to reach for them lol.

I stamped Zoe gazing at the butterfly on Kraft coloured card and used the following colours:

Skin: E11, 00, 000, R20
Hair & basket : E39, 35, 30 and dark umber pencil
Aqua: BG13, 11, 10 and muted turquoise pencil
Red: R29, 24, 22 and tuscan red pencil
Grass: YG67, 63, 61 and olive green pencil

The little clouds are a Memory Box Puffy Clouds die, the little die cut flowers are a Doo Hickey Hellebores die, the Ivy leaves are a Marianne Design die that will be on sale in January and the beautiful paper is Basic Grey Picadilly.  The seam binding and flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, I used 25mm wild roses, 8mm semi open roses, 15mm roses, 20mm roses.  And the gorge border punch is one of the new Martha Stewart PATP sets that a lovely friend in the US sent me xxxx

I sure hope I can get some motivation to do some work today … doubt it though lol.

hugs

Simon Says Stamp winner and stuff

Did you all have a good Christmas?  Ours was fab – time spent with wonderful friends and family, lots of laughs and fun.  It is amazing to see the day through the eyes of a child.

My granddaughter Amy is Lady Gaga crazy and even calls herself of Amy Gaga.  Well she wanted blue hair and a big pink bow like Lady Gaga and that’s what Santa brought her lol. 

And if I can get myself motivated I might get a card on sometime – I am so in the kick back and chill mode right now and loving it.  In the meantime I need to announce a winner for this week’s Simon Says Stamp Saturday Surprise.  And the lucky lady is
