A winter anniversary

 

Good morning, today sees the start of our February Challenge at

Stamping Sensations, 

the theme is Anything Goes with an optional twist of 'Romance'

There are 3 Romance themed prizes from Aall and Create

Once again, I went with an anniversary card, this one was for my son and DIL who had a December wedding- Jen was desperate for some snow on her wedding day, to make sure she wasn't disappointed her twin brother provided a snow machine, just as well because although it was a cold and frosty day the skies were bright blue and cloudless. 

I used a variety of stamps from different companies to create my card, the little sprites are Lavinia, the twigs are Card-io and the snowflakes are Crafty Roo Designs.

Please hop over to Stamping Sensations for some wonderful inspiration from the rest of the design team and for full details of how to join in. 

Have a good day

Hearts

 Hello, back again with my second DT card for today- this time it's for

  Crafty Calendar,

the February Challenge starts today, the theme for this is

 'Hearts'.

This is the lovely prize on offer

I was going to make another anniversary card when  this cute Mo Manning Patreon image dropped into my inbox and I couldn't resist colouring her up straight away!

I printed the image onto a square of white cardstock , masked her and tore a heart shaped hole from the centre of a piece of copy paper, sponged pale grey distress ink over the torn out heart shaped hole, then stamped the script stamp (Lavinia) using grey Versafine Clair. I coloured the image with my markers.

I haven't added a sentiment, the card will be for one of my younger granddaughters to give to her Mum on Mother's Day or her birthday.

Please hop over to Crafty Calendar for more inspiration from the Design Team.

Thanks for visiting today, enjoy the weekend

Love, love love...

 Good morning and the start of a new month- January is done and dusted, February is a short month and then March...I always think it's the start of spring, even though it's often still cold the days are longer and lighter and there's more signs of life in  the garden which makes my heart happy! 

I have two posts today with 2 DT cards to share. The first is for our new challenge at

  Sweet Stampin', 

The theme for this fortnight is Love Love Love, doesn't have to be Valentine (which is good for me as I just don't 'do' Valentine!). I made an anniversary card -always need those- using a Stamping Bella stamp that I've had for years and may have used once before! I used copics to colour and added a chipboard frame I found lurking in a box. I triple heat embossed it using Blonde Moments Sweet Pink Iridescent embossing powder - another blast from the past! I stamped the sentiment...again from a very old stamp set- lost the packaging so no idea of brand, this sentiment set remains a firm favourite! Two little hearts using Nuvo drops to finish.

There's plenty more to see over at Sweet Stampin' so please hop over to see what the rest of the team have created for this theme.

I'll be back later today....
