Cosy Bear Tag

November 23, 2020UncategorizedAlison

Some images really lend themselves to tags and I thought this one – Cosy Bear from LOTV – did just that. I’ve already made it into a card in similar colours, but I liked it so much I wanted to do it again in a different genre. I overlaid the image onto a LOTV Icy Snowflakes paper and coloured the image with Promarkers. I added a die cut snowflake, glittered with Glamour Dust, and the small sentiment tags are embossed.

I would like to enter my project into these challenges –

Penguins in the Snow

November 21, 2020UncategorizedAlison

I have another Christmas card today – the image is Huddle from Sheepski Designs. I printed the image, coloured it with Promarkers and fussy cut around part of it. The snow is Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Jewels and the die cut icicles are glittered with Glamour Dust. The die cut stars are embossed with silver embossing powder and the sentiment is embossed.

So it’s penguins that I like best. )

Clearing the Snow

November 20, 2020UncategorizedAlison

Snow Shovel is one of my older LOTV images which I have used several times. I coloured the image with Promarkers and placed it on one of the LOTV Icy Snowflakes papers and a snow embossed piece of card. The snow beneath the car is Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Jewels and the die cut snowflake and stars are glittered with Glamour Dust. The tiny sentiment tags from LOTV are embossed and the twine and gem are from my stash.

Moonlight in the Forest

November 18, 2020UncategorizedAlison

I made this card using Lavinia Stamps on a distressed background. I stamped Spring Trees in black, and then in Iced Spruce to give more depth, and added white pen to the tree branches. I stamped small parts of Star Cluster and embossed the stars in gold embossing powder and added gold glitter to the antlers on the stamped reindeer.

Winnie Watch Your Step Tag

November 17, 2020UncategorizedAlison

I used this Polkadoodles image – Winnie Watch Your Step – to make a tag for one of our granddaughters. I coloured the image with Promarkers and cut around it with a stitched circle die. I added Cosmic Shimmer Detail Sparkle to the fur on her hat, and Cosmic Shimmer Glitter Jewels for the base snow. The falling snow is Chunky White Frantage and the small sentiment tags are embossed.
