Dancing snowman

   A new QKR Stampede challenge begins today with the theme of anything goes.
   I have used the digi 'Dancing snowman' and coloured him using Promarkers. The design paper was printed using Tattered Lace's Over the Mantlepiece CD ROM. After atttaching the image to this I outlined the oval using silver flexible peel off strips.

Yum yum Christmas pudding

   Searching through my card blanks I came across some long narrow pearlescant ones and thought this LOTV stamp called Christmouse pudding and coloured using Promarkers would be used the image to use on it. I then searched through my stash of peel offs and found the vertical Christmas sentiment which just fitted and some waste peel off that I could use as edging.

Spinning tree

   The papers used for the front and inside of this card were printed using Tattered Lace's Over the Mantel Piece CD ROM. The dies used were also from Tattered Lace.
   To make the spinning tree I cut two pieces of white card and sandwiched them together with thread running vertically through them. I then glued the same die cut image to both sides of the tree. I cut a circular aperture large enough for the tree to turn in both the card front and the paper that was to be attached to the front lining them up. The thread running through the tree was then sandwiched between the card front and design paper. Finally I cut flexible strips of leaves to go round the edge of the aperture and once in place added pearl and violet Liquid Pearl drops.

Wreath

   For this fortnight's Crafty Cardmakers challenge the theme is no patterned paper.
   I used a duo wreath die cutting the green card several times and snipping it into pieces in order to create a much larger wreath. I attached it to white card which was matted and layered onto green and white card. I added pearl gems to two of the corners and various coloured dots of Liquid Pearls to the wreath. The sentiment in the centre of the wreath was cut from red mirri using a Tattered Lace die.
