Father Christmas Gnome

I have a card to share using the Father Christmas Gnome set from Mo's Digital Pencil. 

I loved colouring these cute images and they work so well on a clean and simple card style card like this one.

I used copics to colour the images and fussy cut them out. 

For the background I used patterned paper and I also tore some white cardstock to create a snowy ground. The Peace on Earth stamp is from on old Stampin Up set.

Copics Used :

W 1, 3, 5, 7

R 24, 27, 29, 30, 59

Happy Baby Fairies

I had a lovely time playing with some fairies this week :)

These two cuties are from the Mo's Digital Pencil set 6 Baby Fairies (girls). 

I thought they would love to fly amongst some rainbow clouds so after colouring them with Copics I made a special night sky for them :)

To create the cloud panel I used Distress Oxide inks and made a blend with Raspberry, Violet, Peacock and Mermaid.

I then used an MFT Cloud stencil and black Distress ink to create the clouds.

I used a star stencil from CC Designs with texture paste for the stars.

I cut a number of the Whimsy Stamps Happy die from black card and glued on top of each other and then added a white one slightly to the side. This gave the word more impact because of the height and the black outline.  The sentiment is from a Whimsy set called Bunny Balloons. 

I added glitter gel pen to the flourishes on the fairies wings and also some Wink of Stella so the wings are a little glittery although it's hard to tell in the photo unfortunately.

Tall Cake

I have a Birthday card to share today using the gorgeous Tall Cake stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil.

I think it's beautiful, fun and quirky and I loved colouring it!

I decided to keep the card clean and simple to focus on the girl and the cake.

I coloured the image with Copics and I added some white to her dress with a gel pen.

I used a die to cut out the panel and added the Magnolia Tilda Lace die at the top.

I used a gold glitter pen for the candle flames which looks nice and sparkly ( but hard to tell in the photo).

The sentiment is from an old CC Designs set called Birthday Wishes.

Candy Cane Bear Sweater

I have made another Christmas card to add to this years tiny, but growing stash :)

I've used a stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil called Candy Cane Bear.

He's great because he's so quick to colour and super cute too!

 

I coloured the image with Copics and used the Pinkfresh Studio's Stitched Scallop Square die to frame it.

For the background I used an embossing folder by Sizzix called Nordic Sweater and distressed the top of the card so that the pattern was more prominent.

Feed The Soul

I have a card to share today using a stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil called Feed The Soul.

I just love this fabulous lady with her beautiful bunch of tulips :)

She comes with a wonderful sentiment but I used a different one that I had in my stash.  I thought it worked perfectly with her and would make a great Thankyou or Birthday card.

I loved colouring her but I especially loved colouring the tulips!

I cut her out and placed it on an oval cut from Spellbinders Opulent Oval die set.  It's one of of my oldest dies and I haven't used it for a very long time but I just thought it suited this stamp so well.

The sentiment is from an old Stampin Up set.
