Another of my favourite stamp companies, in case you hadn't realised
is Clearly Besotted so I've used the following from their range:
Signature Christmas Dies which I've used as a mask
Christmas Sparkle: Tree image to create my snowflakes, which
are heat embossed in white before inking with Peacock Feathers Distress ink.
The sentiment is from the Little Pudding set and I've hand-drawn
(yes hand-drawn which was VERY scary)
the strings and bows to my ornaments with a Pilot silver marker
and to finish some turquoise pearls from my stash.
Last but not least ...
The Christmas Sparkle set from Clearly Besotted
stamped in Sea Breeze chalk ink with the sentiment and star
heat embossed in WOW silver glitter EP.
A wrap around of coordinating hemp cord from my stash
and some mini gems for that bit of bling to my tree.
Oh speaking of BLING that's the theme at this week's
Simon Says Stamp Challenge so I'm off there to add this card.
Thanks as always for stopping by my blog,
it's always appreciated and thank you for another
fabulous collection of entries using the colour scheme from
last week's Less is More challenge.
Before I go I must thank you all for your comments on my
'new' Auntie status which I was a week premature on!
At last here he is ... my gorgeous baby nephew
born Tuesday 9th - Harry Joseph weighing 7lb 0.5oz
I can't wait to give him a HUGE cuddle!
I do hope you can find a little crafty time this week
to take part and look forward to catching up with you soon.
Aww what a cutie of a Nephew :) It's hard to believe now that my babies were that small, they grow SO fast! Love LOVE LOVING all the snowflakes and such awesomeness all in one place :) Hope you have a lovely weekend. Hugs Bev x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards - the Uniko stamps are perfect for this week's snow theme. Wish I had got the big snow stamp now! I also love the Clearly Besotted ornaments - aqua and silver look so pretty together. I hope you get on top of the Christmas to do list....we are off to get the tree today :)
