White Christmas

Kimberly Wiener's beautiful card on Muse Christmas Visions this week really inspired me but it has taken me all week to make my card!  I liked the way Kimberly used die cuts to build up a scene on a circle background and tried to copy this. I have used these Penny Black dies before and really like them although they are fiddly to work with as they are tiny! I added a little bit of glitter card for the windows and sentiment just to give a touch of colour.

Materials used:-
Dies - Penny Black Around Town set and Frantic Stamper Hill with Pine Trees Edger
Nestabilities circle die
Sizzix Tim Holtz Thinlits Holiday Words Script
Glitter card and textured card from stash

Celebrate

We are being asked to CASE a DT's card on Less is More this week.  I really liked the design of Chrissie's card so CASEd it putting the sentiment at the bottom of my card. I mounted the rectangles on a panel embossed with a Papertrey linen impression plate - I had seen this on various blogs so ordered it from America! I've added a close up to show the subtle embossing.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

Time Out Challenge 27 which is Clean and Simple with an optional twist of black and White with a splash of colour

Uniko Studio challenge 19 - Anything Goes

Materials used:-

Flower stamp - Penny Black Gossamer

Let it snow

We woke up to a covering of snow yesterday so the challenge on Less is More was very appropriate - Chrissie and the team want to see one layer cards on the theme of snow. Once I had masked the card, it was quite simple to make.

I'm also entering this card into the 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown where you have to pick a previous challenge. I have chosen the Christmas Landscape theme from Feb 2014.

Materials used:-

Distress inks - tumbled glass, broken china and dusty concord

Ink dusters - Inkylicious 

Branches stamp - Penny Black Etched Branches

Sentiment - Uniko Studio Stunning Snowflakes

Jingle all the way!

As this week's challenge on Less is More is "Jingle all the way"  I thought this snowy scene would be appropriate as it features a one-horse open sleigh! I used a lovely set of little dies from Penny Black and had great fun creating the scene.

I'm also going to enter this card in the Uniko Studio challenge for this month where Anything Goes.
Materials used:-
Penny Black die set - Around Town
Sentiment - Uniko Studio "Peace on Earth" set
Archival ink - cobalt
Frame - made from a Nestie die
Card - White Co-redinations
