Small can be beautiful to !!

Here is my mid way inspiration for DCC & Friends   Christmas challenge. There is a great prize up for grabs this month from Visible images worth £35.

The card i have made is a small 4 inch square . I know that we are all in a dizzy about this time of year getting all our cards ready and posted before Christmas day and the price of p&p rising so decided to show that we can still make some beautiful cards on a small scale to avoid the large letter postage.

I have used a wonderful digi image from Dilly Beans . Digi images can be great as they can be scaled down to fit your card size. I have coloured the image with Promarkers and glazed the eyes , holly and flowers with a clear glaze. I have matted the image onto green and then gold card , then mounted it onto some snowflake backing papers and on to green and gold card again to co-ordinate. I found that i only needed 1 small flourish and a flower and a bow to finish . Card candy was slightly to big for this card so i used a hole punch to cut the gold dots which were the perfect size.

So all in all a card to save the P&P .... 

Please pop over to  DCC & Friends for your chance to win this great prize.

Thank you for popping by

           Beautiful faces and Good news

Good morning and a very warm welcome to my blog . Today i would like to share some good news and a couple of cards i made yesterday. 

My good news is i have been chosen as "BLOG OF THE WEEK " over at  ALL THINGS CRAFTY  facebook page .  I am so proud :) 

Its a super group where you can share your blog and  everyone is so welcoming and friendly . Its Run by the  lovely Emma Goddard who kindly puts in so much work keep her fellow crafters happy .

The images for the cards are from Dilly beans . I fell in love with them as soon as i saw them . They have such beautiful eyes that capture you in there spell.  I have used my promarkers to colour them .The large blue flower is a flower forming flower from creata. It is the first one i have made and is attached to a badge pin and secured to the card so it can be removed . The greeting is from my stash and stamped in Denim by Tim Holtz. I have used Sizzix dies for the swirls and a butterfly from creata which i altered the colour using my promarkers.

 For this card i coloured the image again using my promarkers and on both images i have glazed the eyes to give them extra shine . the snow flakes were cut using my faithful Cricut Machine . The greeting is also from my stash. I have added a couple of silver bells suspended on some pink bakers twine.

I thank you all for stopping by and taking the time to comment and wish you all a happy day full of smiles .

Luv and Hugs
