Thanks Nancy

I have a card for CC Designs to share with you today and I've used lots of new goodies :)

I've actually used Nancy Gardens before (but she's so adorable I just had to colour her again)!

There is a new die called the Make a Card #13 Spring Die and it has these really cute mushrooms in it that I really wanted to try colouring. I thought they would go perfectly with her (and I was right) and the grass and cloud die are all from this set too.  I think I'll be using this die a lot! :)

Stamps : Nancy Gardens
Card : xpress it,  slate, Little Yellow Bicycle
Ink : memento black

Birgitta Rings a Bell

I have another Christmas card to share using some new release goodies from CC Designs.

This one is called Birgitta Rings a Bell and she's just so pretty!

I used the new Angel Background stamp again too with something I'd had in my crafting stash for so long I'd pretty much forgotten it existed and what I'd bought it for  :)
Interference Gold Pearl-Ex !

I used veramark to stamp with and then sprinkled the Pearl-Ex on top.  I then sprayed it with hairspray to seal it.  I had used that technique before, but it was so, so long ago!  What I hadn't done before was to make a kind of paint with it and Gum Arabic.  I used that to paint the bell and the stars on her halo and the wings and on the "Merry Christmas" too.

In one light the card looks as it does in the first photo and then if you just tilt the card slightly, the gold really shines brightly.  It really is beautiful!  I tried to capture it in the photos, I haven't quite, but it is such an interesting effect.

Ingredients :
Stamps : Birgitta Rings a Bell, Angel background
Card : x-press it, suede, pink pirouette, baked sugar
Ink : memento black, versafine
Other : Make a card #10 Christmas die, Make a card #9 autumn die, merry christmas enamel dots, gum arabic, Pearl-Ex interference gold, copics

Santas Helper

I have a card to share today, using an older CC Designs stamp.

This is Santas Helper, I have always loved her and when the Design Team were given the chance to work with an older design I jumped at the chance to play with her.

And she didn't disappoint!  She was heaps of fun to colour and I just love the way she turned out :)

I took colour inspiration from the papers and I found a fabulous sketch at Sketch Saturday to use.


Ingredients :

Stamps : Santas Helper, Handy Christmas Greetings
Card : xpress it, black, baked brown sugar, Mistletoe Magic (MME)
Ink : memento black, suede, antique linen distress ink
Other : Make a card #9 Autumn Die, Make a card #5, Make a tag #6, Autumn enamel dots, copics
