Add Some Sparkle - Winter Wonderland Challenge for the 17th of June, 2016

The challenge for this week at Winter Wonderland, chosen by Anet is

ADD SOME SPARKLE

To be in with a chance of winning a prize, remember that it is Christmas Projects only.

This week our wonderful sponsors are:

Crafty Sentiments Designs, who are offering the winner their choice of 3 digis from their store

and 

The Craft Barn, who are offering a 10 pound voucher to spend in their store

So here is my card this week:

I have printed the digital stamp "Snowman at the Window" by Crafty Sentiments Designs on to X-Press It card. Then I had my Silhouette Cameo cut a curvy tag shape from Love Paper Crafts (although I can't seem to find it on their site any more).
I used the following Copics pens to colour the snowman:

• hat: C-3, C-7, C-9
• scarf: R32, R35, R37
• snowman: C-1, B000, R20, YR07
• tree: YG13, G07, YG97, Y17
• background: B000

I also added some sparkle on the hat using black Wink of Stella and on the red hat band, nose and star using clear Wink of Stella.

I added some green ribbon from my stash and adhered the tag to a Kraft card from Envelope Solutions. I stamped the "merry christmas" sentiment from Toboggan Together by Lawn Fawn in Bamboo leaves from Memento. 

To add some more sparkle, I stamped two snowflakes randomly across the card from Let it Snow by The Greeting Farm in VersaMark ink, then sprinkled and heat embossed Vanilla Sparkle embossing powder by Alison Ellis Design.

For this card I was inspired by the current Tag You're It challenge.

Also I found another challenge from Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge - Tag It.

So on to my card this week!

I have done something different this week - no colouring!

I have put together a paper tole topper from Forever Friends Kraft Notes - I think I bought the pack from a really cool craft store down in Tasmania. I used some 3D adhesive foam squares from my stash. Then I have used a square of paper from the same pack. I highlighted the edges of both using Summer Sky Memento ink.

The Merry Christmas ribbon and the little ribbon bow are from an American Crafts Christmas double-sided ribbon pack that I have in my stash.

There is inspiration from both the Icicles and the Snowflakes DT on the Winter Wonderland blog, so please pop over to everyone's blog by clicking in their name. We always appreciate a comment or two! :) Also you can find out what other challenges are out there, which could give you ideas!

Snowflakes - Winter Wonderland Challenge for 3rd of June, 2016 - again, better late than never!

Well, I am late again this week - work has been so busy and I have been coming home and just falling asleep, so no time for even thinking about a card!

The challenge for this week at Winter Wonderland chosen by Cindy is SNOWFLAKES! 

I love snow, you can probably tell that by my signature! Also I did not grow up around snow, being from Adelaide, South Australia, I have just experienced the magic of snow when I lived in the States and Germany for about 12 years. So this challenge is right up my alley. 

I have had this "Winter Snowflake Lace" designer stencil from Memory Box for ages so I have used that on the background of my card from Envelope Solutions, dabbing Summer Sky Memento ink.

I then coloured one of my favourite La-La Land Craft stamps - Snowflake Garland Marci - I love her hair and dress! I have the digi stamp which was printed on to X-Press It card and then cut using my Silhouette Cameo. I used the following Copics pens:

• skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20
• hair: E53, E35, E47
• dress, boots and hair ribbons: BV0000, BV02, BV04, BV08
• background: B000, B00

I coloured her lips with dark pink Wink of Stella and highlighted the frills of her boots and dress with clear Wink of Stella. The snowflake garland is coloured with silver Wink of Stella.

The background of the "Merry Christmas" sentiment is also coloured with B000 and B00.

Here is my card:
