Dream Away

Today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring Craft Your Passion and the challenge is Torn and Distressed Edges and may I say what a challenge it was for me! I very rarely do distressed cards because I'm not very good at it.

I printed and cut out Doodle Pantry's Dream Catcher and then popped up the whole image. I distressed all the papers but not the sentiments. I dug around in my jewellery bag and found some metal feathers I had left over from making my son's dream catchers years ago. I made three, one for each son and then two more for my niece and nephew, then I did a crossed stitched dream catcher for our living-room, I love them!

Even though I don't do distressed I do like how it turned out. Hop on over the Craft Your Passion and give the challenge a try. If you use a Doodle Pantry image you can also enter Doodle Pantry's challenge #23 and receive a free image just for entering!

Glitter Tree

A neighbour's visiting sister came over last week, we made Christmas cards and this was one of them. On a side note we added red and diamond stickles but the only green I had was glitter glue. I've thrown it out, its watery and isn't nearly a 10th as good as stickles. It just doesn't hold its shape but we still had a great time creating with lots of sparkle and got to play with new stamps! I've entered this into ABC challenge g is for glitter, with lots of glitter on this card, and Mark's Finest Papers is challenging you to make a Christmas card.

Stamp: Inkadinkado Artistic Holiday
Paper: whisper white, gold
Ink: versamark
Other: gold embossing powder, stickles red and diamond, green glitter glue, spellbinders label 4, stampin up perfect dots, ribbon
