Winter Wonderland

 Morning and I have two DT posts today, the first one is for the ATG/Favourite Colours challenge at Stamping Sensations and we are sponsored by Highlight Crafts. Four stamp sets with Two winners receiving two stamp sets.

 


 I stamped and embossed the Studio Light stamp and sentiment set I won at Allsorts in Oct,I stamped over a stencilled background but the image didn't really show so I lightly went over the design with distress ink and it showed up more.

 

 Any challenges with digi image prizes I amjust playing for fun/and support as no printer!

Pink Baubles and Cats

 Morning and 1st of December can you believe-my DT post today is for the

"Non-Traditional Christmas Colours" challenge at Scrapping4fun, and this was another card using a technique from Tracy Evans. I die-cut a circle out of cardstock and used it like a stencil with distress inks.All stamps are from Pink Frog and Stampin up, Die-cut cats were from a set I bought on a FB decluttering page so no idea of the make-sorry.
