Create A Scene

Morning all hope you are having a good week, well another weekend is almost upon us let's hope it is a good one for the bank holiday.

Today starts a new Challenge at Winter Wonderland and the theme for this weeks is Create a Scene, I have made a Scene Stepper card using Tattered Lace dies, I have used black card and rubbed some gold gilding wax on the figures.
I had some raffia in my stash so I have cut some bits off to create the look of straw, I really enjoyed making this as it was something different, I think sometimes we stay in our comfort zone, but it's good to have a change now and then.

No Patterned Papers at Crafty Cardmakers and More


Morning all hope everyone is well and had a good weekend.

Today starts a new challenge at Crafty Cardmakers and More, the theme this fortnight is No Patterned papers, Lin is hosting for this challenge, 

I have used Silver textured card for matting and layering, I have used Nordic Christmas Frosty Morning embossing folder for the Back ground, The stamp set I have used is Winter Cheer from the latest launch Romany Christmas from Crafters Companion, Die'sire bow die and a snowflake die that was free in a magazine.

I coloured the image with Spectrum Noir alcohol pens, I also went over the image with a Wink of Stella clear pen, but  to be honest I am very disappointed  with the end result it has more of a champagne colour than clear and it didn't flow very well either.

Never mind! I would have done it again but didn't have time.
