TRADITIONAL CHRISTMAS CARDS

Hi all I made two cards yesterday for my mum I had a look at the challenges that are about and decided to go for the traditional theme.

The first one is made using an 8x8 white scalloped card base, red mirri card, Ooh-La-La Poinsettia and Holly set of both papers and toppers, I added some flowers, lace, ribbon, gems bow, bell and a tag which I embossed with Judikins Bronze Metallic embossing powder.

My second card is one that James will give his Nan, I have used a digi image from Vintage Milly, she has just brought out a range of gorgeous digi images available HERE this one is called Reindeer Emily, I have coloured her using Copics, I printed the image twice the second one I cut out and adhered her to the base one with silicone glue, I used gold glitter for the little string of bells, I used papers from my stash, black card for mounting, gold metallic card for the base, TH Die Cut, punched snowflakes, gems, sentiment embossed with Judikins Bronze Metallic powder and some Poinsettia flowers from Wild Orchid.

I did the inside card with a flap so I could put in a little gift of a special tasting cocoa.

Some Wonderful News and 2 Cards

Hi all today I have not only a couple of cards but also some news to share with you

I am thrilled to have been chosen as one of the new DT members for the

Ooh-La-La Challenge Blog

My term starts in January so I have so much to look forward to

Their new challenge has started today the theme is

Anything But A Card so if you would like to join in then just click on the above link

I was asked, on very short notice by my son, to make two birthday cards for one of his mates, I was not a happy bunny as I think my mojo has started the Christmas holidays early, at least I can't seem to find it anywhere at the moment. Also my son always wants everything he asks for straight away, fortunately I had some new digi images from Tickled Pink, I won a candy voucher from SHELBY, I have wanted some of these digi's for a long time now and this was a great opportunity for me to get a few.

My first card shows the image Lil Fashionette 20's Evie, I have coloured her with a combination of Flexi and Pro markers, the papers are also a mixture the base one being from SU, I added a doily, flower, computer generated sentiment and some gems.

My second card shows the digi image 'Lil Victorian Lylah' I used Copics to colour her in, the papers are from my stash I added flowers, butterfly, sentiment, lace and gems
