Carol Singers - Winter Wonderland Challenge for the 15th of July 2016

The two themes this week at Winter Wonderland blog, chosen by Kath are:

CAROL SINGERS

and

MAKE A SCENE

You can use either or both themes, but to be in with a chance of winning a prize, remember that it is Christmas projects only.

This week we are sponsored by Bunny Zoe's - this really cute store is in the process of closing down and are offering a 10 pound prize for the winner.

We are also being sponsored by A Random Fan who are offering a 10 pound voucher to their store.

So here is the card I created with The Carolers from A Random Fan:

I have used the sketch from Sketch Saturday Week #420.

The digital stamp was printed on X-Press It paper and then coloured with the following Copics pens:

• skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R20
• hair: Y35, E53, E35
• reds: R32, R35, R37
• green on hat: YG13, G05, YG09, light green and green Wink of Stella
• green on jackets: G02, G05, G07
• brown: E23, E25, E27
• tree: YG67,  E44, clear Wink of Stella
• book: BG0000
• dog: C-3, C-5, C-7, black Wink of Stella
• bowtie: BV02, BV04
• bird: E23, E25, BG57, YR09
• earmuff: BV11, clear Wink of Stella
• background: B00, B91, B14, colourless blender

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the circles of X-Press It paper and the coloured cardstock behind.

The sentiment from Heaven and Nature Sing by Power Poppy Stamps is stamped with Love Letter Memento ink on to the Kraft card by Envelope Solutions. 

The extra embellishments from the sketch are musical notes hand drawn with Lipstick and Pitch Black Spica pen.

Snow Much Fun - Winter Wonderland Challenge for the 1st of July 2016

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

SNOW MUCH FUN!

This is a pretty easy theme as we are doing Christmas cards.

However, we now have an alternative theme each week to make it easier to make all your Christmas cards. So the alternative theme this week is:

Add three different embelishments

(As the kids are away this week, I may have time to make a card using this theme!)

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

This week we are sponsored by:

Crafts U Love, who are offering a 10 pound voucher to spend in their store.

So here is the card that I created:

I used the sketch from Mojo Monday:

But I have turned it on it's side.

The part circle of paper in the corner and the banner paper are from Holly Bright by KaiserCraft.

The penguin stamps are from both Toboggan Together by Lawn Fawn and Let it Snow by The Greeting Farm.

The penguins have been stamped on to X-Press It paper and then coloured with Copics N5, N7 and N9 for the black and YR07 for the beaks and feet. I also added glossy accents to the beaks and black Wink of Stella to the eyes.

I then stamped the toboggan, snow balls and snowflakes from Toboggan Together by Lawn Fawn on to some white card using black Memories Dye (good watercolour ink!)

All paper pieces and the white card have been outlined in Rich Cocoa Memento ink and the sentiment from Let it Snow by The Greeting Farm has also been stamped in Rich Cocoa Memento ink.

The Kraft card is from Envelope Solutions.
