Not Christmas phew!

Hi peeps,

Made this the other day for a commissioned card for a couple getting married on Christmas Eve! can you imagine it, I can't cope with Christmas never mind a wedding too, 

Luckily they knew the colour scheme needed and she wanted charcoal grey, red and silver, well I chose to use the gorgeous wedding couple from Lily of the Valley as I just love this stamp and use it so often,

Challenge ~ LOTV~ use your favourite stamp etc,

Because it was Christmas colours I tried hard not to get it to look to Christmassy lol,

the dress is decoupaged using pin flair glue, highlighted with a glitter pen, the rest is coloured with copics and I've used a grunge scroll from the grunge stempelglede collection, love these, the leaves and heart is silver Mirri, but the camera doesn't like that stuff,

The sentiment is computer generated on a spellbinders tag,

Flowers~ Papermania, pearl string~ Hobbycraft, ribbon~ stash,

Star dust Stickles, confetti! Liquid pearl,

Again I would have sewn my paper edges but I've still got my sore back to a bit so I've not risked it,
All for now, see you soon,

Just another Christmas card,

Hi, well I survived my walk this morning, no falls, it even snowed a little mind you if I'd taken a cat nap I'd have missed it lol, still flippin freezing though, Jim's outside seeing to the lagging on the boiler pipe that goes out side,

 MEN!, pitch dark, freezing cold, and he starts pottering about on step ladders!!!

I made this card a few days ago another commissioned card but I just realised I'd not put it on my blog lol,

This gorgeous image is of course a Lily of the Valley stamp as is the 25th Dec image,  I've decoupaged the roof section on the mail box and layered it with Pin Flair glue, the frame is made out of a Martha Stewart Layered Arch punch, the papers are Magnolia, images are coloured in Copics,

Spellbinders tag,with a  computer generated sentiment inside, flowers from stash,

Challenges:

Anything goes ~ Animals,

Simon says stamp ~ Let it snow,

Hope you all have a lovely night, see you soon,

Lady in Red

Hi peeps,

How's your weekend been? I've been excited as I won first on MDU, what an honour I feel like I've won the lottery, does that make me sad, no don't answer that lol,

My card today is for our lovely Die Cut Dreams challenge and it's to use staples on your work, it's good fun thinking of the ways to use these things and I know you will have fun,

This lovely girl is a Lily of the valley image, isn't she adorable which I've coloured in Copics and her fur muff is Glamour Dust, I cut her out her ringlets were a bit tricky I can tell you lol, and using Pin Flair gel raised her up a little,

as you can see I've sewn my card and the staples are added too,

I bought a gold dauber but I'm disappointed as it quite dull  and doesn't show like I thought it would (it's on the flowers)

Challenges:

Totally Gorjuss ~ Traditional Christmas colours,

Cute card Thursday ~ Anything Goes,

Lily of the Valley ~ Anything goes,

The rest of the recipe are, Magnolia Doo Hickey swirl, Raffia ribbon from Hobbycraft~ I went for some more of this and they've stopped selling it,

Magnolia Ticket stamp, Marianne design flower punch, Woodware Staples, Gold gems~ stash,

sorry not sure who's the paper is maybe Bo Bunny !

Pop over to DCD and see what my lovely team buddies have made too, then get those staples flowing lol,
