50dollar_voucher_600pxI must first apologise for the picture – boy did I struggle to get a decent photo of this card!!!  I am not boasting, but this photo does not do the shimmer and glimmer on this card ANY JUSTICE!!!

I water coloured the image using my gorgeous Kuretake watercolour set ( so in love with these).  The beards on the kings are coloured with the pearl paint in the set – it’s like painting with cream!!  I also added a wee bit of gold flakes to the presents – obviously that doesn’t show too well in this awful photo!!

Penny Black

Have a wonderful week – this time next week the big man will have been – hope you’ve been good??!!

BLING IT ON !

I think most of us like a bit of bling, especially at Christmas, so now is the time to get  your glitters and gems out !   We are looking forward to seeing what sparkly creations you make this week !

We are showcasing KAISERCRAFT products this week. You don’t have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

My all-time favourite Christmas film is Elf – I NEVER tire of it and this Fa La La stamp from Kaisercraft features one of my favourite quotes!  I’ve been making a bundle of these wine bottle tags this year and for this one I die cut the Avery Elle Cheers die from green card and then made a smaller panel from white.  I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and then embossed it in Silver Tinsel embossing powder from Ranger.  I added a bit of silver thread and some gems and kept it nice and simple.

I just can’t leave the gold alone at the moment – I just have to get it on my card somewhere!!!  I used the Stampendous Snowfall rubber cling stamp for my background and stamped it in Versamark then embossed it in Enchanted Gold embossing powder by Ranger.  I then die-cut the beautiful snowflake from the Noel die collection by Avery Elle from gold card stock and also added a noel sentiment (from Clearly Besotted) in the same gold.  I added my obligatory wrap of gold thread to finish and then mounted the panel on more gold card and popped it onto my A2 card base.

So now it’s YOUR turn.  Happy Crafting
