Fishing you a great Day My blog has been neglected lately but life seems to just get in the way and something has to give. I still managed to make a few cards but haven't really got back into the getting them on the blog. This card is for the monthly challenge at Outlawz and I am early with it for a change. I love this lovely image by Anne Fenton and it was a joy to colour with my copics. Cut it out with a large stitched die from My Favourite things, adhered it to a piece of blue card then onto a white card base. The sentiment is computer generated.  Copics: Skin: E00,01,11,13,R20. T/Shirt: N1,3,B12, Colourless Blender. Shorts: B34,37. Hat: B39,95,99. Shoes: C1,3,N3,5,7,R22,24,29, Black Multi Liner Socks: B0000,000,C1,3. Fish: G43,BG05,75,78,YR00,12. Worms/Can: R05,07,E95,W3,5. Fishing Rod: YR14,E17. Grass: YG11,13,17. Shadow: B000.

All is calm, all is bright My first card for this challenge and I hope it is cas enough. I still want to add just abit more but better than I used to be. The challenge is Silver and as I hadn't put all my Christmas stamps away this was what I came up with. The trees are from Stampin up Evergreen and the sentiment from other set of theirs called Wonderland. I Stamped the solid tree with tumbled glass distress ink, spritz with water and stamped three times. Used versamark for the overlay stamp then silver embossed them and fussy cut them out. Cut snow banks and also embossed the edges with silver embossing powder and added some tumbled glass for a bit of colour. The deer, from a MFT die is also silver embossed. Arranged the elements on a white card piece that I dry embossed with a snow pattern by sizzix, then onto a piece of blue glitter paper and a card base. I silver embossed the sentiment and around the edge of the card base to keep it all uniform.

Kitten In a Gift Bag Another gorgeous kitten image from Gerda Steiner  and as my youngest is such a cat lover I think this might be her Christmas card this year. Have been trying to get them all finished so have not been posting them as I do them . Copics was my choice to colour the image and I then cut it out and framed it with a pierced square die from MFT . The sentiment die is from Impression Obsession  and the border is a punch from EK Success  though it is an old one that I have had for ages so not sure if it is still available. The ribbon is from SU. I added Diamond Stickles from Ranger to the hat and Clear Wink of Stella to the Stars. The ribbons on the presents have Dimensional Magic added to them to add some gloss but it doesn't show up on the photo. Copics:  Cat: E01.02,11,W10 Hat: R24,29,46,59. Bag: B0000,01,G0000,00,02 Stars: Y17,21 Tree: G24,28,29,E29,39,R59. Presents: R000,20,YR000,B21,23,37,39,C0. Ground: W0,1,3.

Shopping all Done This is such a cute stamp from LOTV call Jenny - All Shopped but it is no longer available. I use it every Christmas but they are always adding new ones so you can check for their new stamps. Their stamps are hard to resist. I coloured her with copics then cut it out with a oval die from MFT   then mounted it on an old scrap of PP. The sentiment is from Couture Creations merry little Christmas collection called Christmas Banners and the snowflake border is called tinsel and is also from Couture Creations. The snowflakes are Spellbinders and Cheery Lyn dies. I tend to cut an assortment and keep them handy so I can pick and chose the ones that suit my card. Some bling from my stash and some twine finished this panel that I adhered to an aqua card base. Copics:  Bear: E70,71,74. Hat: R24,35,37,N1,Bg10,,C0,1,3. Scarf: R24,35,Y13,15,17, Presents:YG21,23,B01,02,21,23,34,41,R05,41,C0,1,3. Bags: Yg63,G82,BG11,15. Tags: E000,01,42,43. ...

Love you Pumpkin I made it for this months challenge. Hooray. Has been a very busy month and this is the second card I have managed to do. Just don't know where the time has gone but at least this one is ready to go. The free image is this gorgeous Hedgehog and he has the most adorable grin on that cute face. I coloured him with copics then cut him out with a MFT die then adhered it to my background. Made this by stamping with a background stamp from Darkroom Door  called fallen leaves that I coloured using distress inks to give it an Autumn feel. I added two orange strips to this panel then attached it to the brown card base. The sentiment was computer generated then cut out using a Mama Elephant die and attached to the card. I thought it was missing something so die cut some hearts with an old cuttlebug die and used mounting tape to add them on the left corner and one onto the sentiment. These have glossy accents over them  for a nice shine. Copics: Pumpkin: YR04,...
