Stamp Something ,,, Digi Challenge

Hi again :-) I am back with a new card for the Stamp Something Challenge ,,, this week is is

DIGI Something ,,,,, so you have to use digi images and or papers this week :-)

We are sponsored by lots of Digi companies so pop on over to the challenge blog to see whats on offer :-)

For my card I was given a choice from the HUGE range at Whimsey Stamps :-) Thanks Denise xx :-) As I don't have any religious themed stamps I thought this 'New Witness' digi from Big Hug Creations was perfect :-)



I coloured the image with Copics and used Prismacolor pencils too. The papers are Basic Grey from the Jovial pack and I used a Martha Stewart Icicle border punch and added a ribbon and brown pearls . I chopped up some raffia for the floor and added Star Dust stickles to the star :-) I am cutting down on the use of embellies ,, having spent hours removing flowers and substituting them on my cards so they would fit in an envelope ,,, am going to be minimalist from now on lol :-)

Totally Papercrafts ,,,, Paper Piecing Challenge

Good Morning :-) Thanks to everyone who joined in with our Christmas Punch challenge last week :-) This week it is Sarah's turn to choose the theme and she chose ...

PAPER PIECING :-)

We are sponsored by Sew Many Cards and the winner will get to choose 5 fabulous images :-)




I used my lovely new Penny Black stamp ,, cute eh !! This one is called Wise Wishes . I coloured with Copics and paper pieced the little gift,, I know it is only a tiny bit, but it is there :-) I used Basic Grey Joyial papers and I paper pieced the gift from the sample bits on the front cover. I inked all the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and used a Martha Stewart border punch and Snowflake punch I added Art Institute ultrafine crystal glitter to his hat trim and along the branches to make it look icy, if you have never used Art Institute glitter you should try it, I think it is much better and more sparkly than any other I have tried. I also added Star Dust Stickles around the edges.
