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!!

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

Simon Says Stamp – Better Together Release

better together

Hello – just popping in with a card I created using the gorgeous Locking Hearts stamp set from Simon Says Stamp from their brand new Better Together release.  I used Bundle of Stitched Shapes again on this card – I think it’s my most used set of dies of ALL time!!

Better TogetherI cut the banner from acetate and then used gold flakes on the back of it to give a fabulous gold shimmer – I LOVE this product!  I used Simon Says Stamp Red Lipstick ink (such a deep red – it’s gorgeous) to stamp the larger of the interlocking hearts and the smaller one in Versamark which I embossed in Gold Tinsel EP from Ranger.  I did actually attempt a video for this card but my camera died halfway through and it was all a bit of a disaster!  Maybe I’ll try again on my next card!

Ok , time to get the kiddos to bed and open a teeny bottle of wine – well, it is nearly Christmas!

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.
