Happy Holidays - scary ....

... Good morning!  I hope you all had a super weekend - mine was fab!!  I was able to spend lots of time in my craft room and I also managed to edit quite a lot of the outstanding photos!!  Today's card is a bit off the wall.  Rick St Dennis, who draws the most amazing images, is having a Design Team call for his Facebook group as well as for his blog DT.  You have to create two projects using his images - one cute (done yesterday) and one darker.  I think this one is much darker:

Stamps: Rick St Dennis Digi - Creepmas Tree; My Favourite Things - Christmas Banner Builder; WMS - Warm Fuzzies, Frosty in the Meadow
Inks: Versamark; Versafine - Onyx Black; Distress - Shaded Lilac, Evergreen Bough, Tumbled Glass, Broken China; Stampin' Up! - Smoky Slate
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU Card - Wisteria Wonder; Copic Markers; Wink of Stella Brushes; Clear Embossing Powder

I printed the tree on white card and coloured it with Copic markers.  I fussy cut it out and lightly added a touch of Tumbled Glass to make the tree blend with the card background.  I created the background by stamping the large snowflake in grey, and the smaller ones in Versamark and heat embossing with clear powder.  Then I blended the distress inks which revealed the snowflakes (I love this technique).  I adhered the Creepmas Tree directly to the card and finished with a simple sentiment.  The inside has a mat layer of lilac card and a white panel, left blank for my message.  I'm submitting this card to A Step in the Dark Challenge - ASID#12 - Anything Goes. 

I think this is a very particular holiday card, but I've a good idea who it will be going to!!  That's all for now.  See you soon.

Merry Christmas - cute ...

....  Hello again!  I've been having such a fun day - all on my own and playing in my craft room.  I've been colouring lots of digi images and have made a couple of Christmas cards (I still need lots) - they are very different cards!!  Here's the first:

Stamps: Rick St Dennis Digi - Christmas Turtle
Inks: Distress - Antique Linen
Accessories: White Lustre Card; Kaisercraft DP - Christmas Carol; Copic Markers; Glitter

This is one of a series of turtle images from Rick (I used the Halloween one here) - I like this one, so cute!  Rick has a Design Team call on at the moment details here, to enter we have to make two projects - one cute and one darker - and you must use Rick's images.  What fun!!!!

I coloured the turtle with Copic markers and cut round it, letting the Christmas tree hang off the edge.  I layered the finished image on some green design paper.  I used glitter for the Santa hat to give some texture.  I covered the card with this fun dotty paper.  I finished the front with a sentiment from the paper pack.  On the inside I cut a mat layer from more design paper and added a greeting from the same pack.

For the second card  - check in tomorrow - it's much darker!!!  Bye for now.
