Beccy's Place - Jolly Holiday

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? We have had a busy few days. All our cards are now written and in the post. We just have the local hand deliveries to do. Our house is actually decorated. Things are starting to look Christmassy. On Tuesday we had our flu jabs. Luckily it didn't hurt. 

Here are the cards that I made for the new release of Jolly Holiday images from Beccy's Place. Today my cards are being showcased on Beccy's Blog. 

For this card I coloured the stocking with my Faber Castell Polychromo colouring pencils. I created a pattern that looked a bit tartan so I chose a tartan paper to go with it. I added poinsettias made with dies from the John Next Door range.

This is the Jolly Holiday image set, it is available HERE. 

Here is my second card. This time I chose to use the Red Cardinal in the stocking. Again I coloured with my Polychromo pencils. This time I used a gel pen to add snow. 

Don't forget to check out Beccy's Blog. 

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting

A Trio of Christmas Stockings

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? We have rather a lot going on at the moment it is hard to fit things in.

I have made another Christmas card with the stamp set Christmas Designs that  I was sent by the Isobel Craft Collection to make some cards with. It is great being able to make Christmas cards as part of your design team duties.

I started by creating the background with the Merry Christmas stamp and the holly stamp from the set. I stamped them with Perfect Medium and they were then heat embossed with a sparkly green powder. Finally I inked all over the page with a Distress ink this was then spritzed with water and left to dry after blotting with a paper towel. 

I stamped three of the stockings with black archival on to water colour card and they were coloured with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens. 

The sentiment was stamped with black archival. 

If you click on the image of the stamps you will be taken to the Etsy Store where you can buy the stamps. 

Once a month Sophy, who owns the Isobel Craft Collection,  has Facebook Craft sales. There are lots of bargains and items are sent out quickly.  This is the address of the page https://www.facebook.com/theisobelcraftcollection/?fref=ts. The next sale is on 6th and 7th November. 

Enjoy the rest of the week. 

Happy Crafting
