Well Howdy to Y'All
How are you? I hope you had a good weekend.
There is a new challenge over at Die-ing for a Challenge where the theme this week is "Christmas" - easy peasy huh!
Don't forget you can bag yourself a whooping £25 voucher to spend in the fabulous
Dies to Die For store. Wouldn't it be great to win with lots and lots of new products in the
Dies to Die For store; but as always you have to be in it to win it so
dig out your dies, Big Shots, Sizzix, Wizards, Grand Caliburs and starting crafting.
Now there are a few rules to observe which are:
RULES:
* All entries must have at least one Dies to Die for product on
* You can combine our challenge with NO MORE THAN 3 OTHER CHALLENGES
* You must link back to the Dies to Die for Blog
* NO back linking, new projects/cards only please
* Only 2 Entries per person please
* Entries which fail to observe the above will be removed and will not be eligible for the prize
Wouldn't it be nice to bag some lovely goodies just before Christmas!
So what are you waiting for? Get your entries in over at
Die-ing for a Challenge and make sure you check out what the lovely DT girlies have made - beautiful as ever.
Today I would like to share with you a card I have made using one of the stamps from Moreheads
Christmas Kids - Surprise Collection and what a little cutie he is too. There are absolutely stacks of stamps in this collection so make sure you check it out.
Here is the full card:
I've tried to keep the card along the 'vintagey' theme with traditional Christmas colours which I just love. All the items I have used can be found at
Dies to Die For and the recipe for the card is as follows:
Paper: Echo Park - This & That Christmas (its not showing in the store at the moment but contact Tracy and I'm sure she will get it for you)
The image has been coloured with Copics:
Skin: E21 E00 E000 E0000 / R20 R30 (cheeks)
Hat: R39 R29 R27 R24 R22 / G29 G46 G24 (holly) / YR24 YR23 YR21 YR20 (bell)
Top: E43 E42 E41 E40
Sock: R39 R29 R27 R24 R22 / E43 E42 E41 E40
Shading: W5 W3 W1 W0
To outline the image and edge the papers I have used Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink
To add some dimension to the card I made a frame out of Kraft card and stitched around it with my sewing machine before adding some foam pads to the back to adhere it to the main card. Here is a picture so you can see the depth that this adds to the card:
And there you have it. I hope you like it.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and have a look.
Enjoy the rest of your week.
Take care.
