FROSTY THE SNOWMAN

This week I have been working on this card for the Christmas Card Challenge, each day I did a little bit more.  The theme for this challenge was chosen by ASHA the theme being your favourite Christmas song/carol, this stamp came to mind immediately, my beloved Tilda with the snowman.

I have also followed the theme of the previous challenge that was set by Clare, use pastel colours with a circle somewhere on your card.

I coloured the image with pastel flexmarkers, I used my new EK Success circle cutter, it is a brilliant tool, the paper is from a 12 x 12 pack and came with some alpha letters, I used a Cuddly Buddly sentiment stamp, Tonic snowflake punch and a white organza bow.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

MARVELLOUS MAGNOLIA - ANYTHING GOES

C.R.A.F.T CHALLENGE - CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST

DIVAS BY DESIGN - CHRISTMAS IN AUGUST

Many thanks to everyone who has left me such lovely comments, I have been on visiting rounds but I still have a way to go, so please bear with me.

I have been doing my mums garden for the last few weeks which has taken up so much of my time, as my mum is 94 and my brother is awaiting a hip operation they are not able to get around, the garden was a real mess and it upset my mum who has always loved her garden, I have now finished the back and just started on the front both mum and bro are really pleased.

Take care see you soon.

RELAX

I was asked by a relative to make a birthday card this is what I came up with.

I used a House Mouse rubber stamp that I bought from Joanna Sheen it came with some more images and the sentiments, I coloured the image with promarkers.  I used a trellis effect embossing folder that I also bought from the Joanna Sheen online shop, I have used yellow, cream and red card that I have used a border punch on, I added green gingham ribbon and bow then added some butterflies and Viva Decor Gold pearl drops.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
