Forever Friends ~ Merry Christmas

Hello bloggers today I have a Forever Friends card for you all with a Christmas theme.

 

This card began as a white 5x7 card blank that I cut down to make a card 4" square.  Using some snowflake patterned papers I cut four 2" square squares.  I adhered the squares to form a pattern on the front of the card.  Next from some green holly patterned paper I punched a circle using a circle punch.  The circle was adhered to the card and a Forever Friends chipboard topper was added to this.  Next I added a Christmas sentiment using peel off stickers.  Finally at the top of the circle I added a chipboard mistletoe embellishment.

Our Little Lamb

Hello bloggers today I have a cute little lamb card for you.

This card began as a white 5x7 card blank.  First I cut some blue gingham paper to cover half of the card blank.  I then added some text patterned paper to the other side.   In the center at the join I added a strip of blue striped ribbon and tied a knot and adhered this to it.  Next I cut my sentiment from a sheet of embellishments and then cut it up and adhered it onto the gingham paper.  Finally I stamped my lamb using white card stock, black soot distress ink and Anita's 'animals' stamp set.  I then coloured it using ProMarkers and cut it out before mounting in onto the card.

Daisy and Dandelion Sketch

Hello bloggers today I have made a card using a sketch from a card challenge.

This card began as a white hammered 6x6 card blank.  For this card I followed a sketch for the design.  First I adhered some patterned paper to the front of the card blank.  Next I added a piece of glitter card down the right hand side of the card.  Using some more co-ordinated patterned papers I added a strip of card across the middle of the card.  The final piece was the striped panel on the left of the card which was adhered into place. Next I stamped my image using DoCrafts 'daisy and dandelion' stamp set and black soot distress ink.  This was then cut out using Spellbinders 'scallop labels one' die set.  I then inked the edges with dusty concord distress ink.  The topper was then adhered to the card centre.  Using a circle punch I punch two circles from patterned paper making sure a flower was in the centre of each one.  These were adhered bottom left and top right of the card,  The sentiment was stamped using black soot distress ink and Creative Expressions 'button florals' stamp set.  I then cut it out by hand and used a corner rounder on the corners.  The edges were then inked with dusty concord.

This card is being entered into the following challenges:
