An ATC

For the challenge this week at My Time To Craft the challenge is to make an ATC (Artist Trading Card). What do I mean? If you pop over to the challenge blog all will be revealed and you will see some wonderful ATCs from the Design Team. The most important detail of an ATC is the size. They MUST measure 2.5 inches x 3.3 inches. You can use any medium, style or technique you wish. For mine I covered my piece of card with a piece of design paper from a Papermania 12 Days of Christmas paper pad. I cut 3 shapes for the trees, then doodled small designs, circles, straight lines and then a hatched pattern. Adding here and there a touch of Dovecraft Crystal Glitter glue. Added a Christmas greeting, If you've never made an ATC, then why not give it a go. Thanks for popping by.

You'll see what we mean when you pop over to the blog to see what the DT have created. For my card, the papers I used are from a Papermania 12 Days of Christmas pad.

The greeting is from Little Claiar stamps.  Have fun everyone, thanks for popping in to visit me. 

Your Favourite Christmas Colour Combo

Hello again, welcome to my blog. For the next week at Cardz 4 Guyz, Helen has chosen - Your Favourite Christmas Colour Combo. If you pop over to the blog you will see a variety, but we want to see what your favourite is. I have always liked blue and white with a touch of silver/glitter. The background paper is from a Willow Design CD, the main image is from a few years ago, by Stamps Away- Pilkington 3 set Winter Wonderland. The greetings label is from Little Claire stamps. I coloured with Promarkers and a mix of Broken China and Faded Jeans Distress Inks as a watercolour for the sky.  Quickie glue Pen and Glamour Dust sprinkled over. I am looking forward to visiting you all to see what your favourite combo is. Have fun. 

It's A Blue, Blue Christmas...........

.......here at Sparkles Christmas Challenges for the next month.  Please pop over to the blog to see the super blue inspired cards from the Design Team.  I love blue and white cards, they can look so elegant and they don't always have to be snow scenes. For my card the background paper is from a CD - Walter and Winnie Does Christmas. The sprig is a Marianne die - our sponsor for the month- 

the stamps are from a set which were free last year with a magazine. I used DI Chipped Sapphire and Brilliance - Mediterranean Sea to stamp with and to blend the edges of the card. A few strings of  peel offs to hang the baubles along with a peel off greeting. This was an easy card to make, so I think I'll be making a few to add to my stock. Have fun everyone, don't get too cold when your working on your Blue, Blue Christms project. 

Thanks again to our sponsor for this challenge.
