Christmas is coming !!!!!

Hi Peeps,

 I've got two cards for you today, haven't I been good lol, especially seeing as they are Christmas cards and I don't do Christmas till November the 29th  at the earliest lol,

My first card is for The Sugar Bowl using the lovely sketch provided,and of course a gorgeous Sugar Nellie stamp called Santa with Lantern, wow I loved colouring this,

Challenges~ The Sugar Bowl

I coloured him with copics and added a little glamour Dust for his trim, with a hint of gold stickles in the lamp he also has Diamond Glaze on his boots, well we can't have Santa with wet feet now can we lol,

Papers are Dovecraft  Let it Snow, Small tags are a sissix die,

My second card is using a Magnolia Tilda stamp, this time she's coloured in Distress inks, need more practise with these lol, but I enjoy using them, again there's a lot of glamour dust, stickles and sparkle, well it is Christmas lol,

Challenges, Just Magnolia, ~ Fab Sketch,   Totally Tilda ~ Handmade Flowers,

The same papers were used for this too and to fit with the sketch and colour scheme I just added the tag, the flower is made up of a Marianne die which has all three flowers on it, the stamens is a L-EM punch, Snow flakes are a cuttle bug die and I've cut them out of Glittered card,

I'm trying to catch up on my commenting after Mr Bloggers tantrums, hope he's all better today, I think I'm getting a cold, oh the joys of shopping in town with people coughing and spluttering near you lol,

Have a nice day!

Jack's Christening Card,

Hi  Peeps,

 I've used the most adorable Sugar Nellie image for Jacks christening card,it's called vintage baby,

 Jacks  being christened next Sunday and he looks just like this image all cuddly and such a good head of hair, his mum keeps having to have it cut lol,

I'm entering this over at The Sugar Bowl where they are after some New Sweeties, they have provided a lovely sketch to follow too, I have tweaked mine a little to fit into the look I needed for a Christening card, 

I have distressed the edges of my papers, added distress inks on the edge and on the back paper and the main image added Stickles Glitter glue too,

The gorgeous baby is coloured with copics and the I've added used a clear star  gelly roll pen for the rest,which in RL really sparkles,

 The prayer book I've attached to vellum and cut it out, the window I attached to a sheet of foil and again cut it out to hopefully give the illusion of a stained glass window, the cross is a peel off and |I've added Gem stones, which again in RL look better than they do on here, typical isn't it?

The tag is a Spellbinder fancy Tag and I've placed the edges over the ribbon, I like that effect and will use it again,

I can't believe how the shine doesn't show, when I'm sat here looking at it, in the place where I took the picture and it's shining away merrily lol,

I've got the family coming for tea tonight, so havoc will reign again lol,

Oh I forgot I went to a craft show yesterday but more about that tomorrow, bet you can't wait lol,

 Have a lovely day, speak soon,
