Ink #203 Tree photo

For the background I used a script stamp and silver embossing powder. Next I added a snowflake embossed in white and covered with glitter paste. The stamp and die set is from Concord&9th. On top I added a paperdoll from Tim Holtz and made a sentiment with a die, my Dymo and a stamp.

Paperdolls and snowflakes

I've fallen in love with the paperdolls from Tim Holtz and the snowflake stamp and die set fro Concord & 9th. Here they are used together on 2 cards, one feminine and one masculine.

I used a script stamp and white ink on kraft for the backgrounds and sprinkled on a little bit of white frantage for snow. The larger snowflakes are white embossed and covered with glitter paste. 

The sentiment is a combo of a TH die and Dymo. The dolls were added on foam.

The feminine card I'd like to enter in these challenges:

Bells or ornaments

We are back with a new sketch challenge over at Catch the Bug.


My immediate thought was to put my washi tapes to use. The image I used is Christmas Mouse - ornaments, and I didn't pay attention to the name because I was thinking bells and not ornaments, hence my choice of sentiment. Oh well....

Gift card holder with Snowmen and Friends Duo

Monday is ‘Anything but a card’ inspiration day over at Catch the Bug. This year I've been making a few gift card holders. The others I've made has a paper belt to close the flap, but on this one I used magnets.

The image is Snowmen and Friends Duo and is colored with Promarkers. I added a silver snowflake sequin and used a white shimmer paper for a little sparkle. I cut a strip of paper with a stitched border die for decoration.
