Smiley Snowman

Hello sweet peeps,

Here is another card for Christmas made with my Hero Arts clear stamp set. It was bought last year and am using it for the first time. I have coloured him gently with my Prisma pencils. The printed paper with sparkly squares is fancy gift wrap and the glittery snowflakes are punched. There is glitter at the bottom of the snowman and I have used glitter glue dots for the effect of snow. The die cut sentiment from WonderHouse is new as well. It was quite a task to get a decent picture with all the glitter, you know.

I will enter this card in the following challenges:

My second Christmas card

Hello bloggers,

Here is my card to show you for today which is my second creation for Christmas. I cannot remember the name of the cling stamp as I have thrown away the packaging. However I love this stamp no end. I stamped it with a Docraft red stamp pad and coloured it over that with my Prismas. I have sponged the sides lightly with TH Old Paper. The sparkly ribbon is from American Craft and the gems from Paper Mania.

Sold another 17 cards...

Hello sweet bloggers,

I have good news to share which is I have sold 17 cards. And I have got an order for seven Christmas cards and seven Diwali cards.
My card to share with you is my first Christmas card of the season. The gold ribbon and cord is from my stash while the stars were sent to me by Sandra. The dull gold embossed paper is fancy gift wrap and the sentiment is from Penny Black. I have stamped that pattern under the sentiment with my Prima clear stamp using my Brilliance ink in pearlescent beige.

Hold on to your peace

Hello dear bloggers,

I just LOVE this sentiment from Unity Stamps and could use it over and over again. The printed paper is fancy gift wrap and I like it immensely. Did some faux stitching, added two cords and a shell button and it seemed ready. Had to go over the sentiment with my white gel pen.

White with some colour

Hello sweet peeps,

Here is my card to show you today - white with some colour. The image is a stamp from India which I have coloured in with my Prisma pencils. An embossed sentiment with a die cut corner and my card was ready. Trying to better myself at making flat cards slowly but surely.

Happy Birthday card

Hello sweet bloggers,

Here is a card I made with my new clear stamp from Dove Crafts. I have coloured the image with my Prisma pencils and have added glitter glue to the flowers, icing, strawberries and cherries. The ribbon is new and the gingham was lying around on my table.

Down below is a bee that Aleeza copied from the internet and coloured it with pencils. I had to share this happy picture with you :-)

Happy We Have Each Other

Hello lovely peeps,

This is a card I made at the weekend with my Unity Itty Bitty cling stamp. I have used Versamark bark to stamp the image and coloured it in with my Prisma pencils. The chevrons print is a washi tape and the printed paper came from Terry. The sentiment is also from the same set and I have lightly sponged the edges with TH Antique Linen. Used embroidery yarn and wooden beads for added interest.
