Just a quick post to share the last 6 cards I made for the A-Z Daily Christmas Challenge with fellow crafters over on docrafts.  Have a very Merry Christmas everyone! Z is for Zentangle dangles  - everything I’ve hand drawn except for ‘December 25’ which are stamps, coloured with promarkers (gold/purple/lime green) on a 13.5 cm sq white card base.  I've even included the little town of Bethlehem with a star above. V is for Vintage  - A6 cream card base with purple matts, overstamped in silver EP on patterned paper that is as near vintage as I could get with a poinsettia stamp from See-D’s Traditional Christmas set coloured with purple promarker, mag freebie ‘Let it Snow’ snowflake frame stamp. W is for Winter Wishes -  Quick A6 card using Xcut Winter Wishes cut & emboss folder with cream metallic linen cardstock backed with Pippinwood animals & snowman image. X is for Xmas -  A6 white card base, mag freebie entwined holly EF, Penny Black mouse stamp ha

Just sharing four more festive makes in the recent A-Z Daily Christmas Challenge series with fellow crafters over on docrafts. Q for Quilling ... I actually made this back in August when the weather was hot it's now hanging on our decorated Christmas tree ... 3" diameter with adhesive pearls on each side in the centre. P for Penguin ... various die cuts on a pre-printed snowy scene ... promarkers were used to colour the penguin and I placed him to look like he was hopping out of the snow globe. R for Rooftops ... I used a ‘Santa across the Rooftops’ cut & emboss folder and backed the moon & stars with glitter paper and window lights in a warm gold colour. S for Stockings ... found a 'Twas the night before Christmas verse stamp which of course mentions stockings and a mouse! T for 'Tis the Season  ... a straight forward card with silver-foiled robin paper matted onto red with ‘tis the Season’ die cut sentiment. I've used

A card for the  Just Add Ink #437 challenge...Just Add "I"   Ink, ink everywhere!  I really enjoyed creating this garden scene with the Autumnal Treasures stamps from Creative Stamping Mag issue 60.  I also like the clean look of the stamping against the white background, I think if I had coloured the background it wouldn't have the same impact.  I've inked and heat embossed the fauna and flora stamps then set about adding colour with Promarker alcohol ink pens.  The solid stamps were inked with Versa Color pigment ink and clear embossed to give even more overall shine. Decided to stamp and mount the sentiment on nesting oval dies so the Goldfinch could stand proud and keep an eye on the cute hedgehog below rustling amongst the fallen leaves.  Added the top part of a die cut fence along the bottom as a finishing touch.  Here's a closeup of the main characters.  The little bird can be coloured to suit any species you want to portray so he'll be well used
