Christmas Card Club Challenge 20: Icicles

Hello Everyone. Imagine its 2 weeks since our last challenge , the weeks are starting to fly past now so thank goodness most of my Christmas cards are nearly finished.  Lorraine has chosen the theme for this challenge and she would like to see Icicles. I really enjoyed making my card for this one. I used the latest La Blanche kit for my card and it was such a joy to do , the papers are always exceptionally beautiful, so I guess you may be seeing more. The base card is 8 x 8 matted with non-shed glitter card in silver then a burgundy layer before adding my final layer. so many elements to choose from but I love vintage look at Christmas so I chose little people for most of my add ons. My icicles I cut by hand and added to the top of my card.  'Tis lovely sitting here in my craft room today with the sun shining in the window.  Hugs Rita xxxxx

 

Birthday Card for a friend

Hello Everyone,  Hope you are all well since I heard from you. This Summer has well and truly passed for me. So much going on this year for us all. Today is a birthday card made for a friend using That's Crafty beautiful flower stamp. Whilst staying over at Annie's I took a liking to it and went ahead and created this card. A bit of masking here and there, then using my Izink brush pens I proceeded to colour it.  Just a wee tad off centre but I was really happy with the way it turned out.
Be back soon. Hugs Rita xxx

 

CHristmas Card Club Challenge 19

Hello Everyone. Just to say I have created a card for Anything goes this week as I noticed there was no theme. So this was a card made from JND dies and stamps. I spent the last week up north with my very dear friend Kate ( Cuilliesocks). The scenery on every corner we turned was quite spectacular. The knowledge by Kates lovely husband Alistair led us to so many interesting places. photos will follow next time as I'm on my laptop and not got access to my photos. Not used this laptop for over a year so I hope my card gets through.  Take Care and I'll be in touch soon. Hugs Rita xxx

CCC Challenge 18. Snowman or Snowmen

Hello Everyone. Another two weeks have gone past and now we are at Challenge 18 in our Christmas Card Club. Valery has chosen our theme for this Challenge.
I have created a Box card from one of John Next Door dies that I find so versatile for lots of different occasions. The Church scene die was not JND but another die that fitted the box perfectly. I used a snow embossing folder on acetate, and added a fussy cut snowman to the front of the card before putting a starlit sky backing paper on to card and adding it to the back inside panel of the box. I added card lights to the back of the card to make the church windows shine.  Thanks Valery for your choice  this time and I enjoyed making my card. Hope you All have a Good Week.  Hugs Rita xx
