Alexandra Renke Christmas Firs

Hi Lovelies..

Today I have a card to share that I made with dies I bought a year or so back..  so again, I'm shopping my stash!

I saw a beautiful card on Pinterest which caught my eye, by Lynne Atkinson, so thought I'd give it a go.  I loved how she'd used pastel colours, so I dug out my coloured card.  Thank you for the inspiration Lynne.

I did all the die cutting of the trees, adhering them to a white card panel, then die cut the Christmas word from rose gold satin cardstock.  I then cut a couple of extra words in white, and adhered them together to create a bit of depth, before adding them to my card.  I added a few tiny dots that I'd cut from the rose gold - and it was done.

It was a bit fiddly to make - but worth the effort I think...  so that's another one down.... still loads to go!

Happy Crafting...

Sweet November Stamps Little Christmas Angel

Hi Lovelies

Today I'm sharing a card I made using a lovely freebie from Sweet November Stamps...  this is Little Christmas Angel. 

I coloured her with Copics and fussy cut her, adding glitter to her wings.  Then I created a Distress Oxide blended background which I splattered with white - making a starry background for her.  Oooh I added the sentiment before the stars though..  covering it with a scrap of paper when I splattered.
