Twas the night before Christmas...

Hello again,

What more perfect way to say Happy Christmas to blog land by making you all card using the gorgeous sentiment stamp from Inkylicious - 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse' ....

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL AND WISHING YOU ALL A TOTALLY AMAZING 

NEW YEAR XXX

Here's what I used:

Images: Wryn Goes Carolling by Tiddly Inks; she was the free set on a magazine and came with the gorgeous penguins who are also Tiddly Inks x

I have coloured them with my Graph'it marker pens onto 300gsm white super smooth card.  Then I used silver metal melt around the edges to add a mystical feel.  I added London Fog momento ink to the edges with a make up sponge.

Backing: central images are triple layered to give definition and then onto a 7x7 inch card base.  The insert is deep red paper with a square of white in the centre.

I have edged the whole card by running a line of Cosmic Shimmer Acrylic Glue (keeps its definition when dry) and then sprinkling silver glitter over the top.

Supplies: 300gms super smooth card, matting paper and card, card bases, Cosmic Shimmer Glue, Glitter, Embossing powders all available from That Craft Place

Here's the close ups:

A little touch of red..just because...

Hello again,

This one is just for fun!  Its one of the makes I made for my own orders so I thought I'd share it with you before the big day takes us away from blogland to the land of smiles, squeals and joyful family time :D

Here's a shorter guide to this make than my normal ramblings lol:

The image is the totally gorgeous Sophie Victorian Digi Stamp by Scappers Delights that I have had for a while but not managed to use!  She was coloured with my alcohol markers, I use Graph'it marker pens.
I was pretty pleased with the colouring when I'd finished...I seem to be getting there slowly lol

The snowflakes for the edging were cut out on my silhouette and you know me and over-hanging!  Couldn't resist lol
I have layered upwards to add height and added flowers and bling - and yes, I've used those glitter balls again! hehe

Thank you so much for popping by, especially at this busy time of year :D

Happy Crafting :D
