Christmas Spirelli

Good Morning

My card for today is a Christmas card.  I so enjoyed having a go at the Spirelli challenge the other day, I decided to have another go!

This card is made using papers from Making Cards magazine.  I used silver mirror card for all the matting, and punched along the bottom edge of the main image with a Martha Stewart punch.

The circles were cut using a Nellie Snellen die, and after adding the images to the centre of each, I used silver metallic thread for the Spirelli.  I was trying to mirror the design in the backing paper.

My card is for the following challenges:

Alphabet Challenge Blog - E for embroidery

Sparkles Forum Christmas Challenge - Favourite Colour Combo for Christmas

Bling It On Challenge - Monotone

Good Afternoon

Welcome to my blog today.

My card for today was meant to be a quick card and finished up anything but!!!

I had such fun making this card.

The image is from Crafters Companion SWALK Winters Cheer range.  I coloured her with a combination of promarkers and coloursoft pencils.  My very first time using promarkers!  The mat she is sat on is cut with a Nellie Snellen die.  The backing papers are from the accompanying cd-rom, edged with gold embossing powder.  I stamped and coloured two of the flower baskets onto shrink plastic and added them to the bow as extra embellishments.  The poinsettias are Marianne dies, I added a little glitter to the centre of each.

My card is for the following challenges:

Bling it on challenge - Sketch

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Inspired by Poinsettias
