My card is another Christmas card (trying hard to get prepared!) and I am using Bubble Ice skating from Lacy Sunshine.  Hope you like x

 

 

I coloured Bubbles using pro markers and layered all up using Kraft card and some lovely Be Merry backing papers.  I embossed the oval die card with a snowflake embossing folder, inked all the edges with walnut stain and added a Little Claire sentiment.  I doodled some faux stitching round everything.  My wee snowflake embellishments are two that I had made a long tome ago, they arte wood chip shapes which I painted with gesso and stamped with a blue flourish, then added embossing powder and a sprinkle of mica powder for a bit of shimmer!

Crafts Galore Encore - June Challenge

My my my June already!!!  Where does the time go?  I have spent the last few days trying to tame my wilderness of a garden and now I ache all over from weeding and raking etc etc!  Anyway onto more fun things - it's time for the new challenge over at Crafts Galore Encore!  Now hopefully blogger will behave as I seem to be having some issues!  I don't know if it me, my PC or Blogger but I will persevere in any case!

Sponsored by Beccy's Place, there are great prizes and blog badges!

 

My card uses Raspberry House and was something different for me as I realised I had never coloured wood before!  I think if I did it again I would go lighter on the wood or colour or paper piece it to make it look like it had been painted.  It would look great as a shabby chic house!  In any case I hope you like!

Also offering a prize of 5 digi stamps

 

This week's challenge is to make something drawing inspiration from the following picture

 



Now, my card uses a Kenny K image - Club Kid and so I didn't take the romantic inspiration that you might expect from the pictures but I absolutely love the colour combo and so I picked out those colours for my image.  I also love the hands with the gold on them and so I decided to use a similar effect on my card with Frantage.  I picked out some wood effect paper to make it look like she is leaning against a fence.  I had a great time doing this card!!  Hope you like!

I used my trusty Wink of Stella on her dress etc. but the pic doesn't really show how much she sparkles!  I also tried out some new colouring on her face with my pro markers and I quite like how she turned out!  Hope you like!
