Christmas Scene

-


This card has been stamped directly onto the card stock
I have used my new Card-Io stamps I brought at the NEC
I draw a faint circle to give me a guide line and then stamped the twig around
letting the ink fade
I then used some brilliance ink to create a soft sky
If you look closely you will see some stars stamped in clear and silver
Finally finished with the mountains, deer  and a little glitter
For a first attempt of this sort of style I am quite pleased with the results

This card is for the following challenges

 Less is More - OLC - Starry Starry Night
Sister Act Card Challenge - Anything Goes
Christmas Card All Year Round - No Patterned Paper

Thanks for Looking

I know where your stamps are from but only because I've been admiring another entry and had to check out the website where they were purchased!!!
Love the stunning effect of depth through the foliage you've created.

Each sleeve holds seven promakers and each section comfortable hold 10 sleeves or eleven with a little bit of a squeeze As I said I like things very organised or as my DH says OCD! I used some adhesive labels in my Craft Robo and cut out the little circles this way they were still attached to the backing sheet I could colour them and then peel them off with my poky tool and stick to the ends of the pens I also have put a coloured circle on the bar of ...

Promarker Storage Update

As some of you know I tend to be a little bit of an OCD crafter - I like everything to have a place and when I have finished using it that is where it goes. Now when I first started collecting Promarkers I used a travel CD case to transport them and it has worked really well you can see the original  HERE . I then also started to collect some flexi markers and the promarkers brought out some limited edition promarkers so I decided I needed them!        This meant my storage box was no longer large enough so I started to look at ways to improve it I brought a slightly larger box from E-Bay then set to improving the insides I realised if I made some boxes for the pens I could store more in a row, than using the CD sleeves. So using an A4 piece of paper I scored out a box with two dividers so the pens do not fall over (I did warn you I was OCD)  This is the A4 piece of card with the score lines dotted and the solid lines are...
