Inky Snowflake Background

Evening all

I hope you are all well. 
Here is another Christmas card.


I had a play with my TH distress  oxides inks and created the snowflake background. Then I used the waste aperture as a stencil from SW bold snowflake die and ink through using the same colour inks and then just popped the sentiment on the top . I used one of my old Spellbinders border dies to create the edge. 
I think it looks sort of a vintage style. I am thinking of doing more along this design but in different colours.  

Well we gave in and put the heating on this weekend as it was freezing. Woke up to a frost this morning, but I know there has been snow on the highlands... brrr. 

The cats want to be indoors all the time now although they do wake me up to go out at stupid o'clock in the morning.

Have a good week and thanks for stopping by.

From Our House to Yours

Hi all

How has your week been. I must say the autumn sunshine has been wonderful.
Another Christmas card this week using the lovely Luna Paste. I really like this product and will buy more colours in the future.


 I even used the sentiment to mop up the waste paste from when I put it through the mask 

I hope you can see the shine in the photographs.

I bought some pale yellow wool at the weekend in preparation for knitting a matinee coat for the new baby when it arrives. It's been a long time since I knitted anything like this .. so it may take me a while .. well I have until the end of January to complete it.

Negative Snowflakes

Hi all

For today's card I have used the waste from the snowflakes I have been die cutting. I mounted it over a piece of red glitter card and added a sentiment. 

 A quick and easy card and I love not wasting the what is the scrap.

I hope everyone is keeping well and dry as the rain has been awful here. We had a massive puddle (well it was more like a mini lake) outside our house. It has now subsided thank goodness. Still not put the heating on - we are doing well.. 
It will my eldest daughter's birthday next Sunday- she will be 29 - where does the time go !! We are all going out for a meal on Saturday, it will be nice to see her.
Thanks for stopping by ..

Simply a Snowflake

Hi all

Thank you for your kind comments on my last post I really do appreciate you taking the time to stop by.

I have another Christmas card for you today.
A simple card but quite effective I think.
 Simply the snowflake from Sue Wilson's Bold Snowflake matted and layered up on to the Falling Snow embossing folder 
Great for batch making.

Isn't is getting cold at night we haven't put the heating on as yet but I did succumb to popping the fire on tonight.
My step daughter and her partner came over for dinner in Saturday it was lovely to see her she is 5 months pregnant and has a very small bump so far. She loves the blanket I crocheted for her. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week.
