Merry Christmas.......

 Merry Christmas to you all....

I hope you enjoyed my Christmas Card Advent Calender of 2021. I created so many xmas cards that I still will show some the coming months hahahahaha

So this is created with the Crafter's Companion Christmas Compendium and the Year Of Crafts boxes and this super cute Molly's fairy gift  digistamp from Conie Fong Art. Conie is having a sale right now in her etsy shop so run over if you want to color up some of her stamps.

I colored the stamp with the Spectrum Noir Triblend markers and some metallic markers.  

I would like to play the following challenges...

Happy Thanksgiving....

Happy Thanksgiving...

I created this card with a freebie from Mariola Budek. She is giving away a coloringbook page in her FB group and this was day 3 Harvest. Isn't she the cutest.... Colored her with the Spectrum Noir Illustrators and Colourblend pencils.

The background I created with the Gelpress. I made 2 backgrounds one just with the roler adding some Spectrum Noir Opaque Green Topaz, Frosty Jade and MidasJade Green together and the other background I used the Nateral Stone large stencil from Crafter's Companion. And I ripped those 2 backgrounds up and glued them over eachother  this really looked nice already but than I decided I wanted to use an embossing folder onto it as well and I didn't have 15x15 embossingfolders that where what I was looking for and than I found this Oldy from Tattered Lace and it is perfect for this card. The sentiment is from the Autumn Blessings collection- Heartfelt wishes. 

 I would love to play the following challenges....

I used the Eclipse alphabet from the Eclipse stamping card box from Crafter's Companion and used all kinds of scrap paper for the letters. Broom Hilda is colored with the Spectrum Noir Illustrators and Colourblend pencils.

it's penguin-ing to look a lot like Christmas....

Today it was time to sit down and play a little in between going to therapy and getting meds. So i played with the new Emily with Penguin from Conie Fong.

I combined her with the Sparkling Snow embossing folder and the Stamp and Die set Peek A Boo penguin and Circle frame by Crafter's Companion.

She is colored with the Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers and Colourblend pencils. I am really happy with how she turned out on the card with the dies and embossing folder

 I would like to play the following challenges....
