Vintage Christmas

For this card I've used some of the Heartfelt Creations papers and the Christmas Lantern stamp.  I used Promarkers to colour the lantern and flowers then stamped the flower again with some gold embossing powder and decoupaged onto the bottom of the lantern.  I brushed some Antique Linen Distress ink around the lantern to take away the whiteness and give it a more vintage look.

Clever Berry Corner

Here is my entry for this month's Clarity Stamp blog challenge "A blast from the past".  I've used the Clever Berry Corner which I think is probably the first Clarity stamp I bought after seeing it demonstrated in the Lesson 1 Classroom with Barbara on Create and Craft (2011).  In fact I've still got the pattern building sheet that came with it.  Unfortunately it hasn't photographed too well but this is the best of 3 attempts.

I've stamped the corner all over a piece of black coated card with Versamark ink then covered with some Honeydoo glitter embossing powder in bronze, gold and silver and backed onto mat gold card.  I did the same again with the Christmas greeting on a small square piece of coated card and matted this onto another square of gold mat card.

Christmas flowers

Another Christmas design from Heartfelt Creations this time using the Pointsettia stamps.  The design is stamped onto white card then I've stamped again and coloured and cut out the 3 flowers to decoupage onto the original design.  The greeting is stamped onto a die cut.

Christmas Lantern

I've been working hard on my Christmas cards over the last couple of weeks.  I get a little bored after so long doing the same card so I've done so many of each design.  Here is one with an embossed white background matted onto red card.  The Christmas lantern is from Heartfelt Creations and I've heat embossed the image and sentiment and coloured with promarkers.

Girl on a gate

A card here made with some Holly Hobby stamps which I think came free with a magazine.  The papers are from a Nitwit pad from Lilly of the Valley. I've made the flowers with a die using some of the same paper pad.

Elephants

A card made for my Grandson's 9th birthday using the Clarity Groovi Club elephant plate and henna borders plate.  I used florescent gel pens to colour in the borders and green mirri card for the backing.

Poppies in the Landscape

A card made with some of the lovely Hobbyart stamps.  I'm not too good at Landscapes but their stamps make it easy to set out a scene.  This one is coloured with Promarkers and Wink of Stella red and green on the poppies around the border, some of which are decoupaged.
