Sprigs Christmas Tree And Dandelion

Hello blogger's I hope you enjoyed a good week and managed to get some black Friday bargains if you were after any.  Today I have a card featuring Docrafts Dandelion character.

This card began as a 6x6 card blank.  First using pine needles distress ink and Creative Expressions 'snowflakes and sprigs' stamp set, I stamped several sprigs to make a Christmas tree shape.  Next using  a stamp I got free in a magazine I stamped the baubles with festive berries distress ink onto the Christmas tree.  I then used another free magazine stamp and tumbled glass distress ink to stamp a snowflake on top of the tree.  Next I used a scrap of kraft card and tore it into a tree trunk shape.  This was then adhered to the bottom of the tree.  It was stamped over with the sprig stamp I used before.

I stamped the dandelion image with a free Docrafts stamp I got in a magazine and black soot distress ink.  It was then coloured with Chameleon color tone pens.  Next I stamped the sentiment from the same Docrafts stamp set with festive berries distress ink.  I was cut out and adhered to the card.  Finally using antique linen distress ink and some cut n dry foam I inked around the edges of the card.

Happy Crafting xx Hazel

Winter Wonderland Winter Wishes ~ Sledging

Hello bloggers, I hope you had a good start to the week.  Today's card is a winter sledging scene.

This card began as a 6x6 white card blank.  First using Creative Crafting World 'perfect Christmas companions' CD-ROM I printed out the blue stripped paper and the pink snowflake paper onto white card stock.  The pink paper was cut to size and adhered to the front of the card.  Next I die cut the striped paper cutting out a scallop circle with Spellbinders 'grand scallop circles' die set.

The topper was stamped onto white card stock with black soot distress ink.  It was then die cut with Spellbinders 'grand circles' die set.  Once die cut I coloured the image using Chameleon color tones pens.  Once completed the topper and mat were adhered together and added to the card.  Finally I stamped the sentiment onto white card stock using tattered rose distress ink and Crafter's Companion 'The Snowman' stamp set.  Once stamped I cut it out by hand and then adhered it towards the bottom of the card.
