Christmas Muse

Hi! Over at Muse there's a challenge to create a card inspired by this beautiful card:

The closest I have to this image is a digistamp with holly and a bow. This is what I came up with:

I coloured the image with Promarkers, added Glamour Dust to the bow, and Glossy Accents to the berries.

Stencilled Christmas Trees

Hi! Here are a few cards I made earlier. I'm trying to catch up on my Christmas Card makes, so I'm trying to make variations of the same card to speed up the process!

I used my new stencil from Artplorations, and added colour using ink dusters and Adirondack inks. I left them without a sentiment, and layered the white card on white, to keep them CAS.

Creepie Cute Witchling

Hi! I love Halloween. I know some people find trick-or-treaters annoying, but tiny ghosts and monsters turning up at my door, trying to look scary while being extremely polite, are very cute! I don't usually think about Halloween until a couple of days before, when panic sets in, the shops are now empty of scary-looking sweets, and I have to make up a load of treat bags before the hoards arrive!

However, we don't really have much use for Halloween cards in the UK. Even if you're going to a party you wouldn't usually take a card, which is a shame because there are so many gorgeous Halloween stamps and papers out there... I've made a card anyway, because I love this image from Creepie Cute Stamps! I think I might make some smaller versions as tags for the treat bags!

Too much grunge for a Wedding card?

Hi! I'm going to a wedding next Saturday, and wanted to make a card for the Bride & Groom that wasn't the usual white / silver / gold. I clear embossed the stamped heart and then used glimmer sprays to create the background, but I'm not sure. Is it too grungy for a Wedding card? It shimmers different colours in the light, though. Maybe it would work better with just one colour spray, a light gold or something? I might have another try later. Anyway, here's the card:
