Jewel colours plus gold

Jewel colours plus gold is one of the challenges at Gingersnap Creations. I've used emerald green and ruby red plus gold (mirri card - doesn't photograph very well) and an image from Alpha Stamps.

Spotty stripy Christmas

Daring Cardmakers want to see Christmas cards with spots and stripes. Here is my entry.

Patterned paper: Dovecraft, ribbon Doodlebug, image Alpha Stamps, ephemera The Fruit Pixie.

Gingersnap Creations: Kraft

 Gingersnap Creations is celebrating things related to the Earth this month, so the challenge is to use the colour kraft or light tan in our creations. Here is my entry, a collage using stamps by The Artistic Stamper and Alpha.

Places or Cities

Lots to Do challenge this week is Places or Cities. Here is my Venice card. The stamps are by Cherry Pie and the images by Alpha Stamps.

Vintage Children

A great theme at Sunday Postcard Art: Vintage Children.
Here is my postcard:

Supplies: image from Alpha Stamps; jigsaw pieces painted with Twinkling H2Os. Paper: Rouge de Garance; hearts CraftTime.

Open theme

Sunday Postcard Art has an open theme this week. I produced this postcard a few weeks ago: initially it was to be Paris themed, but somehow the sad expression of the image led me to call it Sorrow. An antidote perhaps to all the schmaltzy excesses of Christmas!

I used the Cuttlebug to emboss the musical score on the gold card and various stamps by Clearly Impressed, Stampington. Euphemera and transparency from Alpha Stamps.

Check it Out

Some check paper on this Christmas card hopefully qualifies for the Scrummy Stash Cafe blog challenge - to use checks or a grid design. Swirl stamp by Art Impressions, image from Alpha Stamps.

Crowns and Wings

I put several new acquisitions to use in my postcard for the challenge "crowns and swings" at Sunday Postcard Art. The crown and Tudor stamps are by Elusive Images and the acetate queen came from Alpha Stamps. I created a background with acrylic paint and used swirl stamps by Stampington. Wings rub-on by Hambly.
