I Give in a "C" Card

Yesterday after-noon I was at a loose end and decided to bite the bullet and get some Christmas cards made. This one is pretty much CAS as I stamped the image straight onto the p, paper, then had to stamp the Robin again and cut him out as I messed up the colouring on the actual stamp. I embossed the snow on the image then added long, long neglected glamour dust onto the snow and stamped some snowflakes in versamark ink and added glamour dust. At this post I would like to add my glamour dust was upstairs so brought it down (after dropping it on bedroom carpet)with a few more things-got downstairs and realised the lid had broken off-I know have a trail of sparkle on each stair and bedroom carpet with hardly any left in the bottle!!! The stamped image/snowflakes/banner flourish and sentiment are from an IndigoBlu set which was free with Creative Stamping mag and p, paper is from Paper Favourites.

Trying to show the sparkle-you would not believe how many pics I have taken of this card!!!

Please note if any challenges have digi images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer.

Late Poppies

 Morning Ater-noon and showing a card that should have been scheduled for this morning but mixed the posts up! I used an Arrietty brand Poppy stamp bought of Amazon which I lined up to match the aperture. My Favourite Things stencilled background and die-cuts. I used the same paper from Polkadoodles for the front and the inside.

Live Among the Flowers

 Morning and I have made a card using a sketch that was inspired by Sherry. I used papers from my Crafters Companion box and sentiment and stamped floral circle from Pickled Pear cut with circle dies from My Favourite Things. I took another pic as the first one was washed out with bad light but can't delete it so just made smaller lol.

Pumpkin ATC

 I have actually made an ATC from a scrap in my box, using an AALL&Create stamp set I have had for years and can't remember the last time I used it! I had to cut it down slightly to make it fit and coloured with promarkers and DI round the edges, the smaller pumpins look purple but I used Trick or Treat and the colour looked dark pink?

First Christmas Card

Morning and I have one of those cards which worked in my mind but then not happy with result, think it's because not in a Christmas mood still here it is!!! I used my new Sweet Poppy stencil, stamped banner and sentiment from an Indigo Blu freebie set with the latest Creative Stamping mag, coloured with promarkers  and the die-cut bows were a gift in a card swap so no packaging sorry.
