Christmas Peace

Good Morning

Over at Christmas Challenges (with sketches) there is a fabulous sketch to follow.  Here is my card:

I created a circular card blank and then matted gold linen card and a gorgeous paper from a Do-crafts goody bag.

I used my Marianne star border die to create the panel across the centre to which I added more paper from the same goody bag.  The sentiment is also from the goody bag.

I used a Nellie Snellen starwreath die to create the circle and a Nellie Snellen oval die to create the mat for the image.  

The stamp is by Stampendous, stamped onto black card with Versamark and embossed with fine detail embossing powder.

My card is also for the following challenges:

Riding On A Donkey

Hello

I love the images on Joanna Sheen's Nostalgia cd-roms, and have used them to make a few Fathers' Day cards this year.  Here is one of them with an image which reminds me of many happy holiday in Llandudno.

I printed the image onto Crafters Companion watercolour card.

The backing paper is printed onto Crafters Companion satin paper and matted onto gold linen card.

I embossed some core'dinations card using a darice embossing folder and sanded slightly.

The sentiment stamp is Lili of the Valley, stamped in Faded Jeans distress ink and sat on a Spellbinders Fleur de Lis die.
