Sleepy bear Christmas

I’m back making another Christmas card again in March…. It is cold enough to make me think its the right time of year for Christmas. Maybe next month it will be warmer?

For the DT challenge this week the sponsor for trimmies CRAFT challenge #670 is All Dressed Up (ADU). The theme this week is “Christmas”. Each week we invite you to join us at Trimmies Craft Challenge going with the theme.

So here’s a summary of the materials used to make the card:

• Digital image from ADU
• High tack glue
• Base card – 300gsm
• Coloured pencils
• Glamour dust
• Background paper
• Pencil and paper stumps for shading
• Sentiment strip

I love this digital image and have used it before. It doesn’t take much colouring, but is coloured with coloured pencils and cut to a square topper. It helps that polar bears are white I guess!! I’ve chosen some subtle colours which tone in with the background paper that the image is matted onto. To add some sparkle to the image (as it is Christmas) I used a quickie glue pen and some glimmer dust.

I hope that you feel inspired and it would be lovely to read your comments. Please let me know whether this has inspired you!

I created a background on the base card just using gesso and on top of this added a backing paper which was again blue, but not what you would imagine of a sky. Under the hot air balloon I added some silver thread as well as every cloud has a silver lining.

Winter vibes

We are now into February, where has the last month gone?

The sponsor for the CRAFT challenge #625 is ,All Dressed Up (ADU) and the theme is Winter. Each week we invite you to join us at Trimmies Craft Challenge going with the theme.

So here’s a summary of the materials used to make the card:

• White 6×6” 300gsm base card
• Pink heavyweight paper
• Digital image
• Chameleon pens
• Die cut snowflakes
• Snowflake aperture die
• Text background stamp
• Distress oxide ink
• Gems

For this card I stamped the text background stamp onto the base card. I also cut a piece of pink paper to mat onto the base card, and out of this I cut a snowflake aperture. Once I had coloured the digital image with Chameleon pens I cut the deer out. I’ve also distressed the pink paper with text and distress oxide ink to give more of a focus to that panel.
