Mid month inspiration post for CCAYR: Winter wonderland

Good afternoon all! I do hope you are well! Did you see Sheena's new stamps - fabulous images - they're going to be a must have for me!!!

Back again with a midway reminder post for CCAYR where we're having a challenge for the whole month called winter wonderland - so get making those christmas cards and link up!

Here's what I did:




The card blank is one of the newish ones from Craftwork cards - my mum and I decided to have a pack and share them and this is the first thing I've done with them. The stamp is from stampendous - I chose this with a £10 voucher I won for my mums craft shop - love this image and I'm sure it won't be the last time I use it this Christmas. I've coloured the image with promarkers and added glitter and decoupaged it up. The papers and sentiment are LOTV. The trees were cut by die'sire dies and then brayered with sparkle medium.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

  3. Two beauties Rachel, I really love the top one. Saw Sheena's show, I'm afraid the stamps and paints fell in to my basket, so I had to buy them LOL.

  12. I do love the first one very much indeed! That stamp is gorgeous and I can imagine it being used in many different styles. The pink is super cute too Rachel. I managed to catch some of Sheena's shows and have two more stamp sets to add to my wish list. What did you think about the colouring mediums? I thought the Ice was great and would love one of them to use with my Distress inks but not too bothered about the rest xx

  14. Such beautiful creations.
    My eye is particularly drawn to card number one with that unusual cardbase and that elegant and nostalgic stamped image gracing the card, so beautiful and the pink card is so adorable.
