Christmas Sparkle DT

Greetings,

This is my main card for Christmas, the stamp is from Lost Coast designs via happy daze and the quote is from George Carlin. The card does have a small twinkly heart, but I think that the dancers are called reindeer names like Trixie, Sparkle and JoJo,  hence my non traditional Christmas Sparkle card for the current Try It On Tuesday Challenge. 

Who needs snow when you have three wild, ginger beer drinking, glam dames?

I look forward to seeing your entries.

Down on the beach

Dearest Minions,

This is my entry to this week's Tuesday Taggers challenge Down on the beach sponsored by one stop craft store. My entry is wistful thinking, the image is Black Pearl from Delicious doodles. I started with the tag but she looked far too exotic and warm to be in the North Sea. So I made a grey North Sea sister for her, who could well be found near a Suffolk beach.

The images are coloured with flexi markers and copics markers. However I still found the colours too bright for grey pearl so I sponged weathered wood distress ink over the image, which worked well and married into the background of the card which is made with a Tim Holtz mask, distress inks and a my mind's eye script stamp. The eyes have been highlighted by glaze to make them stand out and look liquidy.

look forward to your entry.

Grey Pearl

warm pearl

cat - not interested in women fish, just fish fish

inflatable fish

Dearest Minions,

Here is an altered match box done in a Mosaic style for this Tuesday taggers challenge. However I am really not good at cutting straight, couple this with drinking a miniature cream liqueur and the result is more squiffy than I was and the fish looks a bit blow up dollish.

Christmas under wraps -pt1

Dearest Minions,
                             When I think of Christmas, I do tend to think of the Christmas story, Jesus reason for the season and co but I also think of Family and winter.

So here are my entries to Inspiration Avenue challenge  this week and Tuesday Taggers  and Anthing goes anything but a card both tags were inked with Distress ink in Blue Jean and flicked with water via a toothbrush. The masks (Tim Holtz) where then sponged over (family) and stamped over (3 wise men). In "Family I then stuck on a die cut and in "3 wise men" I stamped the main image.

However it does not stop there.... as some will know I get very ranty about Christmas wrapping paper (we throw away enough to cover Guernsey every Christmas.) I am going to show a few alternatives to wrapping paper over the next few days. Here is my first....

Two old road map pages have been taped together and then used to wrap up a box in the normal way, the tag I thought rather fitted the theme. Martha Stewart has some good examples of wrapping and recycling on her website and don't miss Thrifty Christmas for other blooming great ideas.

The box started was given to me filled with lush chocolate, which I emptied in a prompt manner. I then got over enthused with red pepper paint and tissue paper stamped with scroll work stamps.

inspiration avenue -sun kissed

Dearest Minions,

Good day, here is my entry to Inspiration Avenue Sun Kissed and Try it on Tuesday Trees. the tag is made from recycled packaging which has painted and stamped with distress ink. I did the non wrinkle distress technique for the background, which I think should be called the smooch.
