Yep - yet another C'card

This time it's the turn of blue for a christmas card......
Following no particular sketch... just plonking down bits and pieces where ever the mood took me....


The image is "Star Keeper" from Digistamps4joy. Coloured with promarkers and made into a shaker with blue and silver glitter, seed beads and sequins. The top layer is a dotty embossed card from stash. The base is pearlised with a pearlised damask effect (it's there but I couldn't get it to photograph) layered on followed by a piece of torn vellum with a couple of snowflake brads and some peel off stars. No flowers or ribbons ..... I toyed with some but decided against them, the clean lines looked better to my eye.
Simple and clean

Joy

This card is destined as a thankyou card for someone. Had to be something they wouldn't shudder at hehehe. So while in my "lighter phase" of cards, this one was born. I used the freebie from Digistamps4joy, coloured with promarkers with a touch of gold gel pen. The paper is from the citrus range of DCWV and some scraps from my bit box. The ribbon is a bronze colour with a bronze metallic thread running through it which was "triple bowed". The flowers and buttons all from Crafty Feelings.

As this also fits into the challenge of at digistamps4joy of incorporating circles, I am entering it into their challenge. (Buttons and there are circles in the image's hair)
The girls over at City Crafter are challenging us to use a digi so I am entering this over there as well.

Star Keeper

The is the digi I chose from a recent Digistamps4joy win. I thought it would make the ideal Christmas card image for a couple of friends of mine. The lady's name as you might have guessed is "Star Keeper". After colouring her with promarkers, I decided to follow the sketch over at Midnight Madness this week. There are 2 different patterned papers used, a freebie digi and papermania I think. The top and bottom panels were made by stamping and embossing (several times) a little snow flake stamp I have. I attached a length of chain after attaching yet more little stars and a little bell on it using the peeloff snow flake centres, added stickles to the attaching brads. The other snowflakes I just added some tiny rhinestones. The simpe flower ( I wanted nothing to detract from the image) has a home made pin in it. All this then mounted onto white cardstock and silver peeloffs to surround.


Some of the detail ....

That "C" word

I know, I know. We're in the middle of the run up to, what I hope is going to be a great Halloween and I get asked to make christmas cards by a couple of people that have to send overseas in parcels. While I'm at it - I thought I'd see if there are any sketches out there that catch my eye. This one from digistamps4joy did. So this is card #1........

The image is a freebie from digistamps4joy this month coloured with promarkers. The papers are all Crafty Chaos from the Holiday Wishes set. Ribbon and buttons from stash. I ink distressed the sentiment in gold and just touched round the centre panel with the same ink to tie it together.
One down - a few more to go....

I am entering this into the Digistamps4joy sketchy challenge this week as it was their sketch.

Girly Girl For SIC!!!!

What's all this girly girl stuff? I have struggled with this challenge from Stamp It Crazy I have to admit, but I am not one to admit defeat easily. I uummmmed and aarrred about the image to use. In the end used this one from Digistamps4joy which I picked up a while ago as a freebie. That is blue mirri card at the back but this light makes it look darker. I used PM's to colour and just some pigment ink to blend in the edges. The DP's are from DCWV Citrus range. Ribbons are from stash and flowers from Crafty Feelings.
