Christmas Fairies

 

What!  Did someone say Christmas?  Yes, folks it's time to let you know about the latest challenge at Christmas at Sweet Stampin'.  The theme is Christmas Fairies and I found I was spoilt for choice over which fairy to use... Lili of the Valley, Mo Manning, hAnglar, Magnolia...  there are a lot of Christmas Fairies out there in blogland!

I opted for a Sugar Nellie fairy as we're being sponsored by Funky Kits, home of the fabulous Sugar Nellie stamps





Here's what I did

 

 

I stamped the image onto watercolour card and painted her with DIs.  Lots of Glamour Dust and Stickles were used to make it nice and sparkly.

 

The sentiment is by Magnolia, again stamped on watercolour card.  I used Maja papers and gave the lower half of the card a scalloped border using my Spellbinders wavy borders die.  Some rose ribbon and a doily were added, leaving me with a card which has some depth to it but is still flat enough for posting.

 

Hope you can join us at Christmas at Sweet Stampin' this month!

Santa Claus is Comin' to Town!

Here we go again with another challenge at Christmas at Sweet Stampin'!  This month we'd like to see Santa feature somewhere on your projects. It can be a jolly Santa, a vintage Santa, a stamped Santa, a pre-coloured Santa... the possibilities are limitless as long as the big guy in the red suit can be clearly seen!

Here's what I did

I was having a mooch around the Funky Kits website and somehow this Sugar Nellie digi stamp happened to fall into my shopping basket ;)  The image has been coloured with Copics and I've added two different colours of Glamour Dust for a bit of Christmas sparkle.

I've kept the rest of the card clutter-free as there's a lot going on in the image.  The papers are Basic Grey Aspen Frost and the sentiment was bought from Lakeland a LONG time ago.  I cut a corner shape from red Bazzill to fill some of the white space in the top left of the image.

Once again my fabby teamies have made the most gorgeous Christmas creations to inspire you, so do hop over here to take a look.  We're being sponsored by Funky Kits so there's a lovely prize awaiting the lucky winner.

Don't know about you, but I could fancy a sherry and a mince pie now!

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Basic Grey - Anything Goes (DP is Aspen Frost)
The Sugar Bowl - Anything Goes
