Sunbursts and Christmas


Happy Sunday all I'm back with a second post today
to enter a few challenges that will be closing the doors soon 
so here goes ...

First up is to enter the Happy Little Stampers - Sketch Challenge
I'm so glad Kylie and the team keep reminding us as I wanted to
join in as soon as I saw the sketch but kept slipping my mind.
Anyway here it is and I'm skidding in under the gate with it!


In the hope that we get some super sunny weather in the UK
this week as I'm off work I've inked this Sunburst set up from 
Clearly Besotted and although I've used the sentiments before it's
the first time I've inked up the other images.

I've gone with super bright colours and tried to follow the palette 
at Colour Q as well as the sketch from Happy Little Stampers




This is my Christmas offering for this Sunday
where they'd like us to use one or more non-evergreen trees


Card Recipe:
Clearly Besotted: Birch Trees inked then heat-embossed with Hero Arts Clear EP,
Sentiment from Pretty Poinsettia & Bird dies from Paired-up
Imagine Crafts: Snow Circle stencil, inked with Versamark before inking the BG
in Tumbled Glass and Broken China distress inks.
MFT Die-Namics: Snow Drift die

      Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog

I've loosely followed the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch but turned it on it's head
and having used a stencil I'd like to enter a second card at 


Ok that's it for today but I'll be back tomorrow with
a few more cards I'll be finishing off this evening ready to post.
Hope to catch you then and thanks for stopping by today.
