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.

Merry Christmas ~ Mittens & Holly

Hello bloggers I hope that you are well and not too wet with all the rain we had here yesterday. Today's card is a sweet mitten card with a snowflake and some holly.

This card began as a white 6x4 card blank.  First using an off cut of patterned paper I stamped the mittens image onto it using black soot distress ink.  It was then fussy cut out.  Next using pine needles distress ink and Creative Expressions 'snowflakes and sprigs' stamp set I stamp the holly into each corner of the card.  I coloured the berries with a red ProMarker and added glossy accents to them.

Next using some decorative Christmas vellum and Spellbinders 'snowflake pendant 2011' die set I cut a snowflake and adhered it to the centre of the card.  The mittens were then added to the centre of the snowflake.  Then from the same vellum sheet I cut out a sentiment and adhered it below the snowflake.  Finally I inked the edges of the card with pine needles distress ink.
