A Christmas Card!

Hello everyone, I have been away and have lots to catch up on! But first I have a Whiff of Joy card to share with you, it was my turn for Tuesday's 'Tag You're It' post and if you don't know about it, then head on over here and take a peek!

This cutie is WOJ's 'Henry Hugging a Christmas Bauble' and is coloured with Copics. The sentiment and number 15 is WOJ's 'This is December', tried to keep it simple and finished it off with a flower and leaves.

I love Alice's style and this is a great way to try something different, still don't think I mastered this style ;) But it was still fun to do! Thanks for stopping by.

Something a little different........

I have been playing with something a little different, I pulled out my gesso and Distress Stains and this gorgeous set of Whiff of Joy stamps 'Frames'.

I scraped some gesso on, splatted some Distress Stain, waited for it to dry and then stamped this pretty frame.

Then finished the card with some Wild Orchid flowers, leaves, a butterfly and Prima alphas.

I think I still need lots of practice with mixed media but it was fun getting my hands a little messy! Thank you for stopping by.

WOJ - A Christmas Card!

Yes, I have made a Christmas card! I am wanting to start early this year so I can enjoy the process without having a mad rush to get them done in time to post across the world.

This is an older stamp but still love her, WOJ's 'From Heaven Above'.

Used up some older Christmas patterned Paper, think I need to go shopping for all my cards. Inked and stitched the edges of the paper, doily from my stash, the banner is WOJ's 'Christmas Banners' stamp set and matching WOJ Die-Light 'Cute Banner Trio'. Finished off with some twine, Wild Orchid flowers and some pearls.

Have you started making any Christmas cards yet? Thank you for stopping by.

Its been a long time, with so much happening I haven't sat at my craft desk or even picked up a Copic marker in ages!
