A Traditional Christmas

It's time for a brand new challenge over at the Polkadoodles Challenge Blog and it would be lovely to see some of you joining in this week. The design team are using the 'Traditional Christmas' theme but as usual you can join in with 'Anything Goes'.

What with life getting in the way sometimes you have to cut corners so this week I opted for pre coloured images from the oh so versatile Festive Christmas collection. All papers and embellishments are from the afore mentioned collection. I've just added some bakers twine and a bell plus sentiment from my crafty stash.

A Christmas Cracker

So today I thought I'd share a bit of  festive humour with you, I used my Inky Pinky DT opportunity to design my Dad's Christmas card! Et Voila.... 😀😀😀. 

I've not given it to him yet so I hope I can avoid him seeing it on social media first. This little beauty is called Revolting Kiss and she's part of the hilarious new collection 'Old Bag's' from Polkadoodles none of which are festive I hasten to add. I just used a Santa Hat from another collection as well as paper's, embellishments and die cuts to make her seasonal. A list of items used will be linked below.

She's coloured up using my alcohol markers and enhanced with pencils. I created the sentiment topper within my graphics programme leaving spacing for the die cut DAD lettering. My Dad has always had an eye for the ladies I wonder if he could pull this cracker?

Blue Christmas

Here's my take on a Blue Christmas for inspiration time over at the Polkadoodles Challenge blog. I really hope you can pop over and join in the fun? Everything used is pre coloured from the Twiggy & Toots Festive Fun Collection. I used one of the scene background papers and added the snowman within my graphics programme. I then printed the snowman off another couple of times to make my own decoupage. The lights and tree were also from the collection. I just added some sparkle. I then merged the sentiment onto one of the banners and added that to the bottom of my card.

Oh Christmas Tree ...

Morning all. As per usual I'm meeting myself coming back so am keeping my Christmas cards relatively CAS. Here's my DT make for The Pencil Case This card is made using the lovely Christmas tree digi on Twiggy & Toots Festive Fun. It really is a blank canvas for you to put your own take on. I used my Lyra pencils and the flicking technique to achieve the texture. For those interested the colours used are...
Tree: 080, 076, 075, 070, 067, 065
Star: 006, 007
Gifts: 021, 024, 026 + white gel pen for polkadots

The polkadot backing paper is also from the collection I matted that onto some contrasting card stock and stuck my coloured digi on flat. I then glittered up a piece of card to make the tree 'bucket' and adhered that, the star and the gifts using foam pads. I then decorated my tree using red, green and gold gemstones.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Afternoon all, I'm a bit late with my Inky Pinky post today as I had to nip into town to pick up some sequins as I thought my finished project needed a little more bling. I used the fabulous Hollybobs Santa and coloured it up with my Graph'it Markers (Skin: 4101, 4125, 4150 Cheeks: 4135, 4145, Hair: 1230, 1270, 1280 Fur/Beard: 0000.9100, 9101, Outfit: 5210, 5215, 5220 Boots: 9506, 9507, 9508 Background: 9100, 9101, 9102, 9103, 9104, 9105, 9106 Sack: 1230, 1270, 1280) the parcels are coloured with my sakura glitter pens. Matted and layered onto cardstock from my stash. The Ho! Ho! Ho! sentiment is an old rubber stamp by Dovecraft. Another card to cross of my list, I hope you like it?
