The Night Before Christmas

Hello again

Well 2 posts from me today, I really should save one for tomorrow but then again it will give me an excuse to make another card. hehehe! Please scroll down and check out my earlier post!

Now I tried really really really really hard with my colouring on this one, I think there is an improvement with my shading? Do you think I have done any better? I do get a bit down sometimes when my colouring lets me down, I really am not a natural! Never mind I will keep at it! I am blabbing on a bit tonight I think it is because I have had a little glass of wine, got some great 80's music on the radio, going down memory lane. LOL!

I really enjoyed the colour scheme for this card and I am entering into four challenges;

Sketch Saturday - Loved this sketch!

LOTV - One for the girls

Charisma - With Love at Christmas

Allsorts - Twas the night before Christmas

The stamp is LOTV, the paper is Dream Street Papers 'Wonderland' the snowflakes are punched using a Kars punch and covered with twinklets and I have used a spacer( I think that's what it is called) in the centre. The flowers and gems are from Wild Orchid Crafts. I have added some cosmic shimmer round her feet, hence the flat picture, it shows better from this angle!

I hope you like it, thanks for popping in.

LOTV Challenge Card 60

Here is my entry for LOTV challenge, the theme is seasons and seeing as I just cannot get into Christmas cards yet I chose Summer. The Stamp is 'On Tiptoe', the flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts as are the gems. I used embossed paper for the background and gave a quick paint with cosmic shimmer to tone down. All finished off with a bit of sparkle and Stickles.

All the green shades and pinks remind me of a lovely summer day!

Take Care
