Merry Christmas

 Its Christmas hooray

I love Christmas and always get a bit hyper :)

I am so looking forward to a great family Christmas hope you are too.

I have received this lovely Christmas card from my really good friend Judith and I thought it was so nice I have shared it with the Artful Times challenge.

And I must welcome Von back

and also welcome my blog land friend  Chrissie 

to the Artful Times DT crew 

also best wishes to Neet hope you feel better soon.

Judith made this card from a project in a popular magazine

and made a gorgeous job of it.

I haven't blogged much lately but not been resting on my laurel's

I have made this pram quilt for a lovely young couple

who have just had a baby girl.

Thanks for looking and you're lovely comments

they really do make a difference

 

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New year

I wanted to join in with the Artful Times ladies, its Neet and Sam this week. 

Last one for Sam! so good luck to Sam :)

I also wanted to join in the Vintage Stamping Challenge a great DT and they are asking for Cold & Frosty

I choose to do a tag 

which I firstly gave a light wash of blues and pinks water colour paints 

stamped with a grey ink crackle effect and a turquoise text

die cut a centre panel in a gorgeous turquoise sparkle card I have has stashed for ages. 

The die cut leaves have been crackle stamped and the die cut rolled flower have been stamped dotty

there is also a small die sparkle swirl 

finished with mini tinsel and tiny icicle beads

Its a sparkly cold and frosty die cut stamped tag :)

Silver and Lilac

Hello Hello 

I have been a very bad blogger :( just life getting the better of me

I have been AWOL since October and now suddenly its nearly Christmas phew

I have tried to make amends by joining in with the Artful Times (only just) challenge 

Neet is asking for a seasonal stamp using Silver and Lilac

I have painted the tag with a watery acrylic and then a pearlised wash for a silvery shimmer

The snowflakes (my seasonal stamp) are stamped and then heat embossed then gave another lilac swoosh

Stamped in a darker lilac a swirl 

Made die cut flowers, leaves added a silver swirl 

finished off with a frosty stickles

I must say I really enjoyed myself and shall get back into the zone :)

Thanks for looking and big hugs
