Shhhh - its a secret

The clocks have gone back and the nights are drawing in, all signs that Christmas is getting closer. I've been making Christmas cards and this one is for the MDUC challenge - to hide something in your creation.

This card uses glitter Tilda from the Sweet Christmas Dreams 2011 collection. The tree is from Stained Glass Christmas by Chocolate Baroque. Colouring is done using pro-markers and Distress inks in Old Paper and Dusty Concord. Dies are by Marianne and Crealies.

Punchy Halo Tilda

There is a new challenge at MDUC to use punches and dies in your work.
I've made this card using Halo Tilda from the Sweet Christmas Dreams collection, colouring her with pro-markers.

Decorations are a mix of Spellbinders and Marianne dies and floral punches. I really enjoyed making this one.

Fat Robin

Well I did manage to make a card this week and who could fail really when you have such a beautiful stamp to work with.

This is made using the gorgeous 'fat robin' themeplate from chocolate baroque. I've put crystal glitter on the leaves and holographic glitter on the snowflakes. The robin himself is decoupaged from a second stamping on centura pearl card to give him a bit of a sheen. I resisted the urge to put gems in the centre of the snowflakes but I'll probably make a second one with gems and compare them later.

Steampunk

Well, I promised myself I would make a card today. It is only using a Kanban topper, but its turned out OK and since its my son's 25th birthday tomorrow, that is who it is for.

I just need to get back into a routine again and hopefully work will quieten down over the next few weeks giving me more time to craft.

Hope to be back next week with something else.

Hugs,  Gina x

Time to get moving

I haven't blogged for two months and have no idea where the time has gone.

I promise myself that I will make a card tomorrow. I have the gorgeous Klimt baubles from Chocolate Baroque just waiting for ink so hopefully I'll have something to post tomorrow.

Off out shortly for my son's birthday. Can't believe that he is 25 on Monday...
