Holly Jolly

I'm still cranking out Christmas Cards and I wanted to use this die set from Wplus9.

This was my first card, having watercoloured some holly sprig die-cuts from Flora & Fauna, 

I love the pop of bright green against the white woodgrain.

I used gold powder to heat emboss the Holly Jolly sentiment whilst still intact in the

 sentiment bubble which meant I had the outer piece left over to make a second card....

 this is my favourite of the two.

Holly Jolly Die, Holly Jolly Stamps - Wplus9

Holly Branch Die - Flora & Fauna

Pastel Baubles

I'm a 'traditional Christmas' colour girl at heart, loving my greens and reds but I have to say that muted pastels are up there too in a close second. I was inspired by the bird in

 this Flora & Fauna set to try and make some masked tree baubles in

 dusty pink, blue and beige... love how they turned out.

I think these may be my cards this year, I love the softness of the colours and they

 are a nice design to make in batches too. 

I sponged soft grey through a mask and then added the foliage and bird through the mask too.

The little bow and hoop are made using dies and they add a little bit of 

dimension to an otherwise one layer design :)

3D Mini Bow die - Waffleflower

Coffee and Wine

Hehe... this is a great phrase!!

I thought I'd do some no-line colouring with Polychrome pencils for the 

images and trim them out.

Wasn't quite sure at first how to use the phrase but I decided that it looked like it could

 be written on a blackboard in chalk, so that's what I went with...

Coffee & Wine - Newtons Nook

Scattered Surface Background - MFT

Pink Pop

Pink Pop!!! not the drinkable kind I might add.

No this is very much a girly card for a pop princess with it's pink and black combo 

and lashings of glitter...

I love this MFT set and the coordinating spotlight stencil... that makes life a lot easier and I found the Avery Elle die set to be a perfect frame as well. Colouring people is not my thing ... especially hair but using Polychrome pencils helped I think.
