Color it - create it - show it off! November 2021

  Hey Everyone! 

Wow, where has the time gone, can not believe we are into November already.  So its that to mention to you all of the monthly challenge running over on the Color it - Create It - Show it off blog whereby as usual anything goes, for more details or to enter click here.


For this card I have used Sherri Baldy's My Bestie's Snow Globe Doll 9 which can be purchased here.  I used an 8 by 8 card blank which I adhered a piece of snowflake vellum with two strips of christmas ribbon attached to the top and bottom of the piece of vellum; which was cut down slightly smaller than 8 by 8 and I rounded the corners.

For the image I coloured it using triblend brush pens by crafter companion, along with some metalic promarkers and gel pens.  I cut down the image into a square topper and rounded the corners before layering onto a slightly larger piece of navy blue cardstock which I also rounded the corners.  The topper backed onto the navy cardstock was then adhered to the vellum using red liner tape.  The final step on completing this card was I added glossy accents to parts of the snowglobe.

I decided not to add a sentiment due to the ribbon I used had 'Merry Christmas' on therefore felt that was adequate enough and adding anything further would possibly draw away the focus on the image.


Thank you for taking the time to read my blog.

Crafty Hugs!

TLC Designs - two cards completed

Hey all! Hope you are all well.  So today I wanted to share two cards I've made using a new company to me (TLC Designs), which I happened to stumble across; the cards are using the company's digital products while I await arrival of my stamps and dies. As with the majority of my blog posts you can find a list of the products used along with a link to them at the end of this post. Pumpkin Gnome Card So firstly for the first card I printed the digital image of the gnome out and then coloured the image using Crafters Companion Spectrum Noir Triblend brush pens, before cutting the image out. I also printed the leaf patterned paper and sentiments which came from the Jack O'Gnome digital stamp set.   On a 7 by 7 inch white card blank I then stuck down the bronze embossed card using red liner tape, which I had cut down to 6 1/2 inches by 6 1/2 inches, before then sticking the leaf patterned paper on top of the bronze card (the leaf paper was 6 inches by 6 inches). I then cut out t...

I then stuck the pick hammered card to the floral paper on a slight angle before adhering the image to the pink card but this time sticking it straigh...
