O' Christmas Tree

I have a couple of CAS Christmas cards to share today...using a Clearly Besotted die (Modern Christmas) to cut simple triangle tree shapes from snippets of white card. I spritzed the 'trees' with some Cosmic Shimmer in 'Baby's Breath', then added some sequins. I mounted the trees on to the card blanks using 3D foam pads, and added a sentiment from the 'Scribbly Christmas' set (by Tim Holtz for Stampers Anonymous).

It's so tricky to get the shimmer to show in a photo...below is the best I could manage!:

ABC Challenge - I is for...

We have another colour challenge for you this week at the ABC Challenge:

'I is for Indigo Blue'

Blue is my favourite colour, so I loved this challenge! :0)

I've used 'Musing Melinda' (by Whiff of Joy) for my card...I always think she looks kind of blue! lol
I coloured to match these gorgeous papers from the 'Boxer' pad by BasicGrey...one of which I embossed using my 'Textile' Cuttlebug folder. The sentiment stamp is by Studio G, and the flowers are a mixture of Poppicrafts and Hobbycraft...it doesn't show very well in the photo, but they've been spritzed with 'Baby's Breath' Shimmerz. I distressed all of the edges, and added a few pieces of card candy to finish.

As always, don't forget to check out the rest of the design teams fab cards over on the ABC Challenge blog.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

When I saw that the theme for this week's Penny Black Saturday Challenge was 'Song Titles/Lyrics'...my initial reaction was 'Eeeek!'...but after a rootle through my box of images, I found this fabby little mouse...called 'Let it Snow'....problem solved! lol
I followed the Mojo Monday sketch, making an A5 sized card to give me room for the sentiment (also a Penny Black stamp). For the bakcground, I embossed the reverse sides of two pieces of My Mind's Eye '29th Street Market' papers using my 'Swiss Dots' and 'Snowflakes' folders...sanding to reveal the detail. I used my new Cuttlebug snowflake die...it's spritzed with 'Shimmerz' (in Baby's Breath).
I'm also going to enter this card for the Crafty Calendar Challenge...where the theme for this month is 'Weather'.
