robin

Hello fellow crafters. Today I have another CAS card on offer. It was supposed to be for last week's LIM challenge, but as my SD card on the phone was full I couldn't take any pics. So here it is for this week's challenge.


I started with a kraft card and cut out the snowflake flourish (Memory box) on the lower half to represent snow-covered ground. I coated the fall out pieces with the clear sparkle pen to add some shimmer. I stuck these on the upper part of the card to represent the falling snow. I added platinum stickles glitter glue to the centre of the snowflakes.


Then I die cut the robin (sizzix) several times from different coloured cardstock. I inked the pieces with gathered twigs distress inks and assembled the bird. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment (Just Rite) and added glossy accents to the robin's eye.


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

Cinema

Hello, I'm posting again and this time it is to remind you that another TTCRD challenge is starting with the usual theme of anything goes.


This week we are sponsored by Mari digis digital stamps.  
   
                                                      
The lucky winner will get one of the images that the DT chose to work with. This will be chosen by Maria Emilia.



The image I chose to work with is called B42 Cinema. I fell in love with the sad look in both their eyes and had to colour this image. I must say I really enjoyed the process.
So now it is over to you. Remember that anything goes so anything you make can be posted in our challenge, hugs Theresa xx

thanks


Well on Friday it was the start of another FFFC and this week I am hosting it. I have been so disorganised that I first forgot to post a photo of the card on the main blog and then I never blogged the card. So I am trying to rectify.


To make this card I used a Tim Holtz stamp which I stamped in versamark and embossed in black. I always associate this month with Thanksgiving and hence the link for me.


The image is one that I had won in some challenge. I really loved it an enjoyed colouring it with promarkers.
The ribbon and wooden leaves are from a roll of ribbon I got from Lidl and the patterned paper is from a stack of papers from The Works.


So I hope you will join us with your makes that are related to the theme. see you on the other side, hugs Theresa xx.

hark the herald angels sing

Hello there. I have found some time for a quick post. Once again this was inspired by the LIM challenge. The technique I learnt at Pauline Butcher's workshop this weekend.


For this to work it is important to have a stamping platform and that the card is butted up tightly to the edge so that when the script is overstamped it remains crisp.
I used salty ocean, mustard seed and picked raspberry distress ink, stamped and spritzed. Once dry I overstamped with same colours.


I dried it well and used an antistatic bag over it. I stamped angel in black archival and clear embossed. I coloured in trumpet with gold sparkle pen and used the clear one on the wings. So easy but very effective.
So once again I hope I left enough white space, hugs, Theresa xx.
