Let's Chill.....

Great to make another Christmas Card...
Today's card has been inspired by 
The Muse Christmas Visions Challenge where
Cornelia has provided four amazing cards as inspiration.
My card.......
Bottom right card......
My interpretation.....
Loved the Big Blue circle, the pretty little blue dots and the cute penguins
The Big blue circle became my balloon.
The pretty little dots became the lower half of my card.
The ice cube igloo in Cornelia's card became my stencilled icicles 
at the top of my card.
Finished off with the black sentiment.
I have used Lindy sprays for the balloon, all shiny and pretty.

I reckon my Penguin is really chilled out having fun in the snow.
I have a birthday (hence the balloon) 
in the family on Christmas day so this is for her x

Thank you so much for finding time to stop by.
I really do appreciate it.

Joyful Christmas.......

Great to make another Christmas Card...
Today's card has been inspired by 
The Muse Christmas Visions Challenge where
Cornelia has provided four amazing cards as inspiration.
My card.......
Top right card......
My interpretation.....
Loved the contemporary Deer with the lines, 
the fun hanging elements 
and the strip on the side of the card
I used satin card, which took the black soot distress ink really well 
through the stencil.
I also turned the stencil to get another antler.
I stamped over the black ink, whilst the stencil was still on 
and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.
 The strip at the bottom has been stamped with black and gold inks...
Thank goodness for the Misti.
Finishing off with a stamped sentiment 
and hi-lighting the little hanging stamped Christmas elements.
Hard to get photos as the gold ink looked yellow 
or the gold embossing looked too blingy.

Thank you so much for finding time to stop by.

Oh Snap.......

Had fun with this one....
Today's card has been inspired by 
The Muse Christmas Visions Challenge where
Cornelia has provided four amazing cards as inspiration.
Today's card.......
Top left card......
My interpretation.....
I loved the rows of cookies on the tray, the kraft card, the washi tape 
and the little Christmas stocking that has been snapped!
Can you see it just below the tray?
I have used a stencil for the background and white embossing paste.
I choose only some of the rows on the stencil, so I had to do one row at a time 
and wait for it to dry.

My fun gingerbread has been fussy cut and hi-lighted with white nova drops.
The bits falling from the gingerbread should look like 'crumbs' !!!
It made me giggle when I saw the photos how I positioned them on the card.
I enjoyed making my own washi tape to look like Cornelia's.
The embossed white layer has been done with an embossing folder.

Thank you so much for finding time to stop by.
