Snowfall and a Shopping Teddy Bear

A few of my favourite Christmas challenges are asking for snow.  The Christmas Kickstart Challenge "Snow Alert", The 12 Months of Christmas "Snowfall", and Jingle Belles "Dashing Through the Snow".

I masked the snowy foreground, then did a stencil monoprint to create the snowy sky above it.  Then stamped and heat embossed the horses / fence image.  Trimmed the panel, bordered in black, and used a Quickie glue pen to add glitter to the tops of the fence rails.

The Penny Black Saturday Challenge is "Too Cute to Spook".  I don't need Halloween cards so made a Christmas card with a very cute teddy bear who looks so confident I'm sure nothing would spook him.

Stamped and watercoloured, trimmed with a stitched rectangle die, bordered with dp.

Paper - watercolour paper, black cs, red pre-made notecard

Fashion Shopping

The Paper Players challenge is "Fashion Fun".



My youngest sister loves fashion and shopping so this card is for her:

The image is stamped and watercoloured, then trimmed and put on a dotted embossing folder (I thought it went well with the polka dot dress), and the sentiment added with pink ribbon.

Like the women in the image, my youngest sister also wears high heels a lot - unlike me who would instantly sprain my ankle if I tried to walk in high heels!

 

Supplies:
Stamps - MFT Say Charge
Ink - Archival Jet Black
Paper - white cs, watercolour paper
Size - A2
Accessories - Gansai Tambi watercolour paints, Cuttlebug embossing folder, sentiment tag, pink ribbon
