Nordic playtime

Today marks the new challenge over at Peace on Earth Christmas challenge.  The following moodboard is there for inspiration.  Unfortunately I do not have much to create a beach scene so I have chosen a random style.

This is my white on white card for this challenge using Nordic deer's and trees, no idea of origin just can't remember as I have thrown packets away. Craft Addiction UK Slatted Tree die.

Why not join in with the fun over at our new challenge.  We would love to see you there.

Seasons Tweetings

Hi all

It is time for another challenge over at Peace on Earth Christmas.  Mood board is great for inspiration so feel free to be inspired

Mine I chose to use two robins, because of the red breasts and fir branch. I used a Hobbyart stamp set called Seasons Tweetings.  I think it is a real cute set.

I coloured them with Zig watercolour pens, Distress Oxides and white splatters. 

We would love to see you join in with our challenge

The Holly and the Stag

Hey everyone

Hope you are all well. 

It is time for a new challenge over at Peace on Earth and the following moodboard will give inspiration if needed. 

I used a die from Craft Addiction UK  for the cracker and many different dies for the elements. Cream/Ivory card with a beautiful orchid coloured for the elements.  I enjoyed putting this project together. 

I hope you all join in with our new challenge, be great to see you there.

Happy Birthday to you

So much scope for this one.

I decided to get dies out this time, had to search through to find my birds. I cannot remember where I got them from. The heart background are dies from Craft Addiction UK.  Loving their background slatted dies. i also managed to find my gems to add a little extra to it.

Anyhow here is my make for our new challenge

Hi all

It is time for another challenge over at Peace on Earth Christmas and look at the fabulous mood board from which to gain inspiration

For mine a used visible image stamps and I wanted to create something different. Sort of mish mash of different stamps and I have to say I am loving this style so will be making more. I like making mess lol. The colours are mixture of inks and paints.

Thank you for visiting me and we would love you to come on over and join in with the challenge.

Sail away, sail away, sail away.....

 It is time for a new Challenge over at Simply Clean and Simple challenge and the theme for this month is Nautical.  

I needed to dust off my dies and got cutting out through my Big Shot.  I cut a few layers for the yacht and just one layer for the Seagull.  Unsure of the origin for the dies.

 Coloured using Kuretake Zig pens

I haven't placed a sentiment yet as not sure as to who I am sending it to.

Thank you for visiting me.  We would love you to come on over to Simply Clean and Simple challenge and join in with the fun

Penguins are us

Hi all 

Yes it is time for a new challenge over at Peace on Earth Christmas.  Look at the fabulous moodboard just for inspiration - plenty of ideas to be had.

I actually chose Penguins instead of the ducks,  fir branches which can be seen behind the cats and snow falling. I do not have any of the animals in the pictures and the Santa hat I have does not fit the penguins big heads. LOL

So hear it is, the stamp is called Grumpy Penguins by Katzelkraft. Oxide inks for the background splattered with some white posca.  Fir branches from Cardio. Versafine clair Shady Lane and Nocturne for the stamping.

Thank you for visiting me.  We would love to see you entering our challenge.
