First Tomic challenge entry

Hello,
Today I decided to be brave and enter the TOMIC Challenge for the first time.  I love Magnolia stamps but lack talent, lol.

This weeks challenge over at TOMIC is

TOMIC #26 ~ Vintage and Lace

The vintage style is very popular, and it is simply to make your card or project look old. You can often find distressed & inked edges, laces, roses, note papers etc. on a vintage project. So let's do it vintage ...

This is my entry.

I was making a custom card for a jewellery customer in France and as luck would have it, it fitted the challenge.

I used

Brotherly Love

Mistletoe stamp 

Mistletoe die

Heart swirl branch die

Flowers
Wild Orchid Crafts

Papers

Penny Black challenge: 176

This weeks challenge over at Penny Black Saturday Challenge is

We're less than 8 weeks til the big day so we thought we'd help you out with a month of Christmas challenges featuring a different theme each week. First up....

Christmas, Snowflakes & Silver

Well how "cool" is that.  I am well under way with making my Christmas cards so this was a breeze.

I decided to go for an Easel card, as Fashionably Wrapped is quite a large image.

I love this stamp, as it is great for use all year round.  I made a 30th Birthday card recently and put a circle with the number inside where the holly is :)

Kraftin Kimmie Challenge 102: Monochrome

This weeks challenge over at Kraftin Kimmies Challenge is

Make it Monochromatic

This week our hostess is the Dazzling Donna and she's challenged us to make a Monochromatic Card!!  So create something with one main colour.....you can use any neutrals and other colours in small amounts, but make one colour the main focus of your design!! 

Well I am nuts about browns at the moment so chose that.  there are a few hints at other colours I'm afraid.  But I think I did well to stick to the rules.

I used Perfect Poison who is one of my favourites, and created a magical Christmas card.

Medium: copics
Papers: Unknown
Flowers: Magnolia
Swirl Magnolia
Sentiment: magazine freebie

Hope you like her
