Christmas card - that is!
I have used 2 images from my Tim Holtz set, stamped in Adirondack Expresso. It goes well with the pale cream card. I distressed the edges a little.
I have used a piece of very old lace, and threaded it with some recycled gold ribbon. The holly is a punch and I added 3 red beads to finish.
Sorry the scan is a little crooked!.

CAS birthday card
Today I have been busy with cardmaking and this is one of them.
The base card is from Craftwork Cards, included in a lovely prize that I won from Enfys - (Going Buggy)
I have used washi tape on a slope and stamped the sentiment and flowers above. I have also added some minute buttons at the centres of the flowers.
I would like to enter this one at

Nautical
The present challenge at Opus Gluei is a beach theme, so I thought this one would be appropriate.
I have used an embossing folder, and highlighted the raised areas with a metallic paste. I have also coloured the scallop shell with copics and metallic paste as well. I layered it onto black card, after tearing the bottom edge and added a couple of diecut shells.

with love
This is the first time I have used this cute wee bear which was in a free set with a magazine. I stamped with Brilliance Graphite Black and heat embossed with clear EP. I used the leftover snippet from the last card that I made and layered it onto the green card which I embossed with my cuttlebug. Coloured with copics

Pretty in Purple
Here is another lovely image from Crafty Individuals, which I have stamped with Shades ink pad from Sweet Stamps - purple majesty. I think she is probably from the 1920's or 1930's.
I decided not to colour in the image, as I rather liked it as it is.I have layered it onto a torn piece of japanese paper, and then a piece of lace, a piece of a doiley, a diecut corner piece, and a little fabric flower.
Challenges I am entering -
