Merry Christmas



One last post for Christmas. I spent Christmas eve putting together this ribbon wreath.
I got the idea from Pinterest and just fancied having a go myself.



I put together about 8 different ribbons in shades of blue, white and a bit of silver. Cut into lengths of about 3 inches. They are folded into a loop and pinned to a polystyrene wreath with small pins.
 

I've added a sparkly snowflake decoration in the centre and put on some battery lights. It's really pretty all lite up.

Christmas Robin

 
One last Christmas card using a new die I've just treated myself to.
Had to get it from the US though as I couldn't find it in the UK but I really needed it.

The robin is a stamp from Sweet Poppy Stencils and it's just so cute. It's called Robin and Holly.


I've coloured it with polychromo pencils. I've then die cut the image and popped it back together on a red card background with some parts raised and some flat. Then just a Christmas Sentiment t complete.

Just Snow Pals


It's a snowy card from me for this weeks new challenge at Polkadoodles.

I've coloured them with Polychromo pencils.


The idea this week is leave a lot of white space so the background of the card has been embossed with a folder



The sentiment is from the Festive wordart set. I've printed it several times to make a border. That has been layered onto a punched border in 2 colours.

Tall Story


I'm a little late posting this card, sometimes things just don't go the right way.

Any way, this is  my inspiration for the new challenge at the Colour Crazy Craft challenge.
The image is from a set called Giraffe Trio.



I've coloured the image with polychromo pencils. I use a DL or slim card as I thought it suited such a tall slim image. The background is a cascade of topical/animal print papers. Then there is just some animal print card candy and a sentiment.
