Twinkle Twinkle Little Star at Creative Craft Challenge

This fortnight at Creative Craft Challenge we are sponsored by Crafty pad and we want to see stars on your cards. Here's my card I've used a Pollycraft image called Bronson & Beaker Star which I have coloured with promarkers and my snow writer. I have embossed the back ground with my Crafts Too star embossing folder and added a simple sentiment and a snowflake to finish.

 I can't wait to see all your star cards and hope that you will stop by and see the other DT girls cards which are all fab and all so very different from each other.

Dressing the tree...

 Look at this little cutie dressing the Christmas tree, he is a Lilli of the Valley stamp which was stamped for me by one of my kind crafting friends. I have coloured him with promarkers adding stickles to his hat, the stars are coloured with a gold gel pen. The papers are from Kars Christmas Speciality pad, I have gently distressed them with some sandpaper and then inked them with a gold ink pad. The snowflakes are cut with a sizzix die out of gold shimmery card and have gold card candy in the middles.

Baby's First Christmas

Here's another card made with Teddy with Scarf from Stamping Dragon Designs, I was asked if I could make a card for a babies first christmas I couldn't think what image to use for it and Claire suggested this cute teddy. 
 The paper is from the Christmas Daisy & Dandylion pack which is mounted on silver glitter card. I have used my snowflake punch on some of the glitter card to create a border down which I have run some blue ribbon.

 I have coloured his nose, feet, scarf & hat with my promarkers and the rest of him is covered with white fun flock. He is mounted on to a nestie label cut from bazill card , I've drawn a silver line around the edge with a gel pen.

I've taken this photo to try and show the flocking a bit better.

 

The sentiment has been printed on the computer and mounted onto some more of the silver glitter card.

My first challenge as part of the Incy Wincy DT

 Over at Incy Wincy its the first challenge for the new DT, and I'm very proud to say that I have been picked to be part of their team. This time our challenge is Anything Goes and we are sponsored by the fab Limited Runs who are offering the winner 3 digi's of their choice. I have used dragonfly stamp from them to make this card wallet and some notecards to go in it. For the wallet I have used a 5x5 card base, covered it with some DCWV stripy blue paper and then put some paper lace that has been coloured with my promarkers along the edges.  I used some ribbon, which has again been coloured with a promarker to match, to tie the wallet closed.

The image is coloured with promarkers and the I have added some crystal glitter to the spotts on his wings. I have cut the image and the silver mat with nesties.

 This is a close up of one of the notelets, they are small 3x3 cards that I bought ages ago. Luckly they were already blue so I have just run them through the cuttlebug with my divine swirls embossing folder. The image

has been done in the same way as for the wallet except that I printed it in a smaller size. I finished it off with a piece of ribbon again coloured to match.

This picture shows the inside of the wallet, I have just cut a triangle of card covered it with the same paper as the front cut some tabs and stuck it to the card base to form a pocket for the note cards to sit in. I've finished it off with another piece of the paper lace.

This photo show the whole set together.
