Christmas monkey

I wanted to try something a little different for this christmas card so I have used the Hero Arts Hanging monkey. I made him a little hat and then coloured with copics. The background card has been sprayed with Shimmer mist to give it a sparkle and the white card is embossed with snowflakes and some stickles added for more glitter. Added ribbon and die cut balloons ,coloured also with copics. Have added this to the Caardvarks blog challenge. ( using ribbon)

Christmas snowman

I wanted to have another go at the Hero Arts challenge this week so decided to make a Christmas card. I have just got a new embossing folder from a company called Crafts-Too its similar to the cuttlebug folders in design and this snowflake one is just lovely. I also managed to find some tiny buttons for the snowmans body, they are really cute!

I used ribbon gathered up to make the sun so as the Caardvarks challenge is to use ribbon in an unusual way I have entered this card as well.

More creating

Although I have been feeling under the weather this weekend, I still needed to make some more cards. The top one is using my new flourish stamp from HERO ARTS. The second one is made using an image the lovely Deborah sent to me with the blog candy I won from her. Coloured this with copics, I'm still learning how to use these but I am quite pleased with the result.

World Card Making Day

Have made these cards for "World Card Making Day" They all feature butterflies as I love using them on my cards. I have used various techniques here, hope you like them. Enjoy your day and your weekend.

Acetate butterfly

I have just made this for the current Hero Arts Challenge. I took the photograph of the flowers a couple of weeks ago on a trip to Wisley Gardens in Surrey. Love the Autumnal colours and love this butterfly stamp from Hero Arts stamped on acetate. Looking forward to a relaxing crafty weekend!!
