Beary Christmas

Good morning, today starts a new Stella Says Sketch at Catch the Bug and what a great sketch it is!

I created a Christmas card, I'm getting a pretty good stash now, by printing the bear circle from the Mini Set-Winter Bears off twice to pop up the Bears nose, pom pom and hat fringe. You have a whole month to work with this sketch so give it a try you could win awesome stamps!

One Martini

I love this sentiment but it should be one tequila, two tequila, which I have! The sad thing is until I posted this card I thought I had put the tequila sentiment on, lol! Luckily my husband loves both martinis AND tequila. I cut out the image and put him on the background I made.

and then I reprinted the sentiment!

Jacaranda Fan

Good morning, its actually bright and sunny here this morning, amazing! Today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Totally PaperCrafts and their theme is Don't be Square use a shaped card. It took me a while, (I finished 20min before I had to post) but I finally finished a fan card. It took me forever to figure it out but I really like it. I used Doodle Pantry's new Jacaranda flower. I had to do some research because we don't have them here, that I've seen anyway. This is how it looks standing on its own.

I stamped and embossed the white with a swirls background and then cut out the fan pieces. The flowers are  coloured with prisma alcohol markers and then I highlighted them with prisma pencils/babyoil. I added stickles to give it a bit more bling.

Sitting up like this it looks more like a fan. Hop on over to Totally PaperCrafts and give their challenge a try. If you use a Doodle Pantry image you can enter our challenge as well!
