Hurrah you say - yes the final two fat book pages done for a Winter Wonderland swap and also for Stamp Something's 'Winter Wonderland' challenge this week. I really enjoyed playing with these using the Cuttlebug folders, sprays and also some overinking on these two as well as the stamping and colouring of the scenic stamps. That's it for fat books for this year.
This card is just for you Linnie of Cute Daisy May Designs to say many thanks for choosing me for your Design Team and is also my entry for this week's challenge 'Shaped Cards'. I am also entering this for Stamp Something 'Shapes' theme. I embossed the main image with silver embossing powder then coloured her using metallic pencils with some added Stickles Glitter glues. I also made a mini version using shrink plastic and coloured her with slightly different colours. Think I am hooked on shrinkies at the moment sorry folks lol. I used a sheet of Linnie's background papers and added some jewels in the centre of the stars. The flower and leaves are new acetate stickers which I love. A couple of final gold peels off to complete the look on this jump or spring card.
This week the challenge from Stamp Something was 'Winter Wind' so here is Messy in his baggy jumper standing outside in the cold winter weather. Messy is part of a stamp collection by Joanna Sheen, stamped and coloured with Lyra pencils then decoupaged with some added Stickles glitter glue. The background is from Linnie's Helping Hands Scenes cd. The tree is also covered with glitter but does not show up well on the scan.
Created this for the 'In the Wild' theme over at Stamp Something. I stamped the Otter, from Personal Impressions, with black Stazon and coloured him with inks and chalks and added the surrounding area with various stamps and chalks. A rounded corner, matted onto a silver dekkle edged card, which the scanner missed off lol, with a sentiment from Hero Arts. I love otters.
Three challenges in one today with this 'Thank you' for Stamp Something, 'Lilac and Lime' for Papertake Weekly and 'Pretty and Feminine' for Tag You're It. The backing papers torn and edged with purple inks, and stamped in purple, are from Nancy's Making Cards freebies as is the pocket and tag. I have mounted them on silver mirri and attached ribbons, sentiment, and a silver corner. 
This was the first card I made using Alcohol inks some time ago when I did the course so it is my entry to Stamp Something 'First Somethings' challenge. I know it is not the right time of year but it was my first so relevant to this challenge.
