Two snowmen

Hello! This is m DT card using an "Oldie but goodie" image over at Catch the Bug.

This a really simple and quick card. I started out coloring a white paper blue, then I heat embossed with white EP using a Tim Holtz stamp. I mounted the image, colored with Promarkers, with foam onto the background. Frantage used as snow. White seambinding ribbon, a stamped and die cut tag and some glitter gems and that was it.


I'm sorry I haven't been around visiting blogs much lately, I actually haven't had much computer time/time home at all. I miss visiting and will catch up from the middle of next week as I'm heading for a holiday in Prague first.

Santa with stocking

This is my card showing one of the new images you can find in the Bugaboo store today - a Santa that comes with different elements to put in his hand, here I chose the stocking.

I colored Santa with Promarkers, added glitter glue to the fur trimmings and frantage for snow. I also added two snowflake sequins and added glittery gems in the middle.

The layout is inspired by the April 2016 sketch over 52CCT:

I used a freebie paper and an embossed half circle. The Christmas sentiment was stamped.

Christmas seal

I still need a few Christmas and winter cards. So here's one made with a couple of new items.

The seal stamp came with a magazine recently, and I used grey Promarkers for coloring. I added gloassy accent to the ice.

The doily like circle was made with a die I got from my sistser as a Christmas calendar gift a few days ago.

The DP is from Maja Design. I mounted it onto white and red panels and machine stitched with grey thread.

I made the sentiment with a die and stamp and added a couple of snowflake sequins and two gems.

Crabby cat and last day of Holiday Chaos

Today is the last day of the week long Holiday Chaos event over at Catch the Bug. Today is BINGO time.

 
I used the row of glitter/bling + snowflakes + Non-traditional Holiday Colors (pink and brown).  The crabby cat image is this week's freebie. I used Promarkers for coloring and glitter glue on the cat's hat. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set. The cat looks nothing but "joyous" which is why I chose it. To ground the image I added a strip of washi tape. I heat embossed snowflakes with white EP and used two pink DIs to make them stand out more. I also used 3 sequins.
