Hello everyone,  I hope you are well, thanks for taking the time to visit. Today at My Time To Craft we are starting a new 2 week challenge. Helen has chosen Christmas Animals. Please pop over to the blog for details and to see the inspiration from the design team. 

 For my card I first made a square frame, stamped and coloured it.  I then stamped and created the background using Sheena stamps, coloured with promarkers, with lots of glitter added.  The frame was added, then I added the stamped stag, to the frame. The stamps set is Scenic Winter. The snowflakes are from a Dreamees stasmp set. I hope you enjoy and again thanks for your visit. Stay safe.

Thank You/Thanksgiving

 Hello everyone, I hope you are well and being able to continue life the best we can during these difficult days and weeks. Life isn't as we would prefer but we must continue with love and hope for better days. I find creating cards and taking part in the challenge blogs helps my mind focus on something relaxing and peaceul for the  mind.  Today at Cardz 4 Guyz we begin a new challenge =Pamela has chosen - #258 Thank you/Thanksgiving  Please visit the blog for the details and to see the inspiration by the design team.

For my card, a simple black mat on a white card. I blended 3 DI's, sprayed Agean Sea ink spray over the card. Stamped and die cut the word 'Thanks' , stamped 'for being you'. Stamp and die by Crafters Companion.  Added the 'Thanks' word with 3d dimensions.  Randomly added 5 black gemstones.  

Use A Stencil

 

Hello everyone, thanks for your visit. I hope you are well and staying safe from this dreadful virus.  Today we are starting our next challenge at Sparkles Monthly Challenges.  Tammy has chosen  for us #134 Use A Stencil. Please visit the blog for details and to see the inspirational creations by the design team.  I had great fun with this challenge, and yes I was challenged for I don't often use a stencil, I have loads, as you can imagine, but I rarely use them, so I say thanks to Tammy for the challenge. Amongst the box of stencils I have, I found this adorable small circle one, which if I remember was a free gift in a magazine but it was a long time ago, and I hadn't even taken it out of the sealed packet.  I secured a square of white card to my work area, and with 2 in 1 glue I secured the stencil to the centre of the white card. I used DI Chipped Sapphire to colour the stencil.  I had to be so gentle with the little prongs, more a stipple than a brush technique. I then die cut the stencil and placed it on a die cut circle of glittered silver card. Set onto a white sq card, on a square of the glittered silver card. A few crystal gems and a die cut sentiment added. I hope you like it, and you will be inspired to go and use a stencil. 

Good Luck

 

Hello, thanks for your visit, I hope all is well and you are enjoying your crafting. Today there is a new challenge at My Time To Craft, Meena has chosen - Good Luck. Please take a look at the blog for details and to see the inpiration from the design team. 

For my card, I wanted to do something different, then I remembered about a die set I had, which being honest, it must have been in a bargain box for me to have bought it, thinking one day I  will need a beetroot die!! As you do. Then on my personal inspiration site, I saw a card with a carrot and the sentiment, 'We're rooting for you'.  Which reminded me of the beetroot, all I had to do was cut the pieces out and make a card.  Job done.  Stay safe.
