Snow Is Softly Falling

Good Afternoon

My card for today is made using the Snowman papercrafting cd-rom from Crafters Companion:

This is the first time I have made a card where the whole front is acetate.  I printed one of the scenes from the cd-rom which I applied to a sheet of white card. I then attached the acetate to the white card and added a strip of mirror board, punched with a Martha Stewart punch, to hide the join.  The image on the front of the card is from the decoupage section of the cd.  The large snowflake is a spellbinders die and the sentiment is Lili of The Valley, embossed with silver detail ep.  I then added some pinflair snow dust to the front of the card.

Here is another image of the card stood up:

Good Afternoon

Back with my second card for today which is made using the new cd-rom and stamp set from Crafters Companion.

I used hammered white cardstock for the base.  The backing papers are all from the cd-rom printed onto centura pearl paper.  A Martha Stewart PATP was used.  The snowman is stamped in versafine ink and some shading added with coloursoft pencils.  Hunkydory 'Snowdrift' was added around his feet.  His hat and scarf were paper pieced using matching lilac backing paper.

I used one of the papers as an insert for the card.

For the card layout, I followed the current sketch at Willow Sketchie Challenge, a challenge which I was lucky enough to win last week.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:

In The Pink

Hello

Hope the sun is shining and you are well.

Today's card is a Christmas card I have made to enter into a few challenges, and also to boost my Christmas Card stash.  I have never thought to make a pink Christmas card before but am pleased with how it's turned out.

The main image is a rubber stamp from the fabulous new Snowman set from Crafters Companion.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.  The backing paper is printed from the accompanying cd-rom onto Centura Pearl paper.  I used my Lyra's for the colouring on the image and added a little of Pinflairs Ice Diamond around his feet. 

A Martha Stewart punch around the page set was used, and the individual snowflake are also made using punches, then layered up and some Ice Diamond added to the centres.  The mats that the snowman and sentiment are sat on are cut using Spellbinders Nestabilities.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Snow Is Softly Falling

Hello

My card for today is a Christmas Card made using some decoupage and backing papers from the fabulous new Snowman cd-rom from Crafters Companion. I haven't actually received my cd as yet, this was made using a download on Create and Crafts website.

Acetate is added to the card so they look like they're flying through the air, and I added some sparkling snow glitter to the acetate.

I created a double bow using silver organza ribbon and added a silver and white button to the centre. Some pearls were added to the ends of the ribbons.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
