Wishing you a sparkly and bright christmas season....

There is a week full of partying going on over at Bugaboo so the first challenge was to play with snowmen or snowflakes and as I do not have a snowman image yet I played with this cutie Bugaboo Kidz- Winter girl and decided to use a snowflake background die and snowflake punch for the theme :) I coloured her with spectrum noir aquablend pencils, sparkle pen.

Sweet Pea Stamps- Ching Chou Kuik- the dragonfly.....

Today I want to show you this card that I created with Ching Chou Kuik's The Dragonfly digistamp. 

I coloured her with Spectrum Noir markers and pencils. Used my own digipapers as sometimes I feel extra creative and make some myself ;) LOL but only If I have nothing else to do. So that doesn't happen often.

Added some roses and made extra petals with a Martha Stewart snowflake punch and a retro flower punch by EK success. 

I totally love the colourcombination on this one as it is not one you think off very much.

Well I hope you enjoyed my card.

Paper Garden Projects New Release Christmas Labels...

Today it is Release day over at The Digi Chick and Paper Garden Projects has this new HUGE Christmas Labels/stamps set. You can print and cut so many awesome Christmas tags with it. Unfortunatly for me at the time I wanted to play my brain left me and I totally forgot how to add papers to my cuttingfiles hahahhaha I know I am stressed out a little bit and I am going to take it a bit slower for myself else I really go bad :( 

So Instead of using designer papers I coloured my label with Spectrum Noir markers ;) which just shows how you can use them more then only print on dp papers :) I made a page for my new planner for next year.

Digipapers by Moi, Punch, Ribbon, lace, Cardcandies. This cute Coco Sticky Wings from Lacy sunshine is Coloured with a combinations of Flexmarkers for her skin, Copics for her Hair/Marshmellows and Spectrum Noir for her Clothes. and a sprinkle of Stickles.

Pink Gem Designs.. Merry Christmas Chloé and Christmas Frames...

For today's card I used  the new Merry Christmas Chloe and the Christmas Frames

And combined them together. To do this you need to use the PNG versions that you always get next to the JPG's at Pink Gem Designs. Coloured Chloé with Copics and Prismacolor pencils/Sansodor. Made some snowflakes by handembossing the backside of my image and you should do this after you coloured your image so you can see the colour slightly  thru your paper, so you know where to make the flakes. Added loads of handstitching to the frame and border of the background papers and made some snowflakes with my martha stewart punch and used Real Swarovski Crystals in the center parts. So guess this one is going to someone who saves cards I send to her hahahahaha don't want it to end up in the bin with the costly crystals on it ;) hahahahaha

I am playing the following challenges...

Tammy's Scrappin Corner with Anything Goes...

The papers are digipapers made by Moi I love creating my own papers to match my digistamps. I used a Nellie Snellen die.
