Penny Black Challenge week 175

I recently acquired the Winter Wonderland set.  I just love these characters so much.
I'm not normally a fan of clear stamps, but the quality of these is terrific.

I had to swap the flowers and sentiment over, hope that is acceptable.

Hope you like it :)

Sentiment: Lili of the valley
Trees: Magnolia

Flower from craft box

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge: A sketch

This week the challenge over at Kraftin' Kimmies is a sketch.

So the brief was to follow this sketch

I decided to use glamorous Sophia who is a new stamp by the wonderful Annie Rodrigue.

I was going to use the cheers to you sentiment stamp.  But when I was choosing my paper I noticed one sheet has the slogan " Celebrate the Season" which I thought was appropriate.

Papers are Bo Bunny: Father Christmas
Swirl is Magnolia
Roses and backing card from my craft box.

Hope you like her.

Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge 99: Sparkle and Shine

This weeks challenge over at Kraftin' Kimmie's blogspot is

SPARKLE AND/OR SHINE!!  So make sure there's something sparkly or shiny on your creation....it could be glitter or rhinestones, crystal lacquer or metal!!  Sparkle and shine it up!!

I have been itching to try out my one and only KK Christmas stamp Elysia (redundancy sucks), and decided to go for a muted classy look.

I used an ivory gold dust card with a snow embossing folder.  I love this snow folder, as I think it is a great night sky too.

I coloured her with copics, and paper pieces her wings and horn with gold card.

I used Nestabilities labels 22 to create the shape of the image, and sentiment.  Then edged it with antique linen distress ink around the edges to make it stand out a bit more.

My sparkle is in the form of star shaped gems, and teeny crystals

The sentiment is by Penny black

Hope you like it.

Kraftin' Kimmies Challenge 98: Paper piecing

This week the challenge over at Kraftin' Kimmies challenge blog is

to use paper piecing somewhere on your creations!!!  I LOVE paper piecing!  Hope you do too!!  We'd love to see how you use it with our stamps, so if you join our challenge this week, you could be the random winner of the stamp featured on Nicole's gorgeous card!

I just love paper piecing, so many of Kimmie's stamps lend themselves beautifully to it.  On this occasion I decided to use Lavender the Quilter.  Many of my family members are quilters, so I thought I'd get ahead and make a holiday card.

I took a 6 x 6" card and die cut an aperture using Nestabilities labels 22.  I stamped Lavender onto the cut out piece and coloured her with copics.  I use My minds eye papers from Jolly Holly collection to paper piece, and to add a background.  I like these papers they have a real touch of nostalgia.

I buffed tea dye distress ink around the aperture, and the edge of the cut out.  Looking back I wish I had used a different colour.  Never mind eh.
The sentiment is by Whimsy stamps, the ribbon, and thimble charm were from my craft cupboard.

Hope you like it.
