Christmas House

For this card I used Little Claire's October Stamp Club stamp, the lovely, Christmas House.

To begin I stamp the Festive House image with a black Memento ink pad onto smooth white card. I coloured in the image with ProMarkers. I mounted the image onto a panel of black card. I add Polar White FlowerSoft to the snow areas of the image.



I cut a square of black and white card. The white square was embossed with the large embossing folder from the Cuttlebug Twinkle All-in-one embossing folder set. I cut a strip black card and punch one of the long edges with my Stampin’ Up scalloped edge punch. Then cut a strip of white card and attached them together. I added a piece of black ribbon across the strips and a bow.

The black and white squares and the strips were attached to a white card blank.I added the house image with 1mm foam pads. Using my Stampin’ Up punch I punched photo corner from black card and attach these to the image.



I stamped the circle sentiment with black ink pad. Die cut a black and white circle with Nestabilities Lacey Circles , then cut the sentiment out and add it to the die cut circles. This was attached with 2mm foam pads.

To finish I added faux stitching with a white gel pen and diamond Stickles to the sky of the image and gems to the corners and centre of the bow.

Ever so lovely

This card using a lovely new stamp by Little Claire called 'Ever so lovely'.

I begun by stamping the image with a black Memento ink pad. I coloured in the image with ProMarkers. I added highlights with Stickles. I cut out the image and mounted it onto panels of red and white card.



For the background I embossed a panel of red card. I embossed the bird design using my Cuttlebug All-in-one 'Thank you' embossing folder. Across the top I added a strip of ribbon. I also tied a bow with the ribbon and added this to the ribbon strip.

I attached the red and image panel to a scalloped card. I stamped a Little Claire circle sentiment with red ink. I cut it out using Lacey Circles Nestabilities. To finish the card I added gems and dots.



I am entering this card into this week's Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge Week 74 - Things with wings. The image has a small bluebird and a lovely bird house so I though it would be ideal for this challenge.
