Sending Winter Wishes!

Good Morning!

First off I have to admit that yesterday really didn't go as to how I had planned it :( I had hoped to have a Crafty Day seeing it was my first chance since last Tuesday but what goes and happens ... I end up having a crafting block! Grrr! I did manage to make 2 cards but one of them I really disliked so I've decided not to share and the second is today's card but I'm not over the moon with that either! So yesterday didn't go too great. Hopefully today will go better as I won't get the chance to craft again until Saturday otherwise ...

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Creative Inspirations - Sketch!

Good Morning!

There was a lot of last minute re-arranging for this week's challenge over at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS as our Monthly Sponsor Handy Hippo let me know over the weekend that they were having to step down for a few months. However with them due to sponsor this week's challenge I was a bit stuck! Luckily my teamie Aunty Sue came to my rescue and suggested a possible sponsor who thankfully agreed! The sponsor MAYZY ART have some wonderful Digi Stamps and I have used one of them on today's card. Don't you think it is soooo cute with the little penguins ??!!!

She fit perfectly with this week's challenge that is a Sketch I have created for everyone to use ...

Snowy Park for J&C Creations!

Good Morning!

This Christmas Card is the 3rd Project that I have made for J&C CREATIONS! 

I have used Distress Stickles - Rock Candy all over the main image as when it is heated up it creates a gorgeous sugary glitter effect which looks great when it shimmers in the light!

There is also Silver Pearl Embossing Powder over the embossed background paper to give extra shimmer.

There is also even more sparkle, yes more sparkle! lol on the snowflakes where this time I have used frosted lace Stickles on two of the snowflakes and created the other snowflake from cutting a snowflake from acetate, covering it in PVA Glue & topping with Twinklets Diamond Dust Glitter.

I tried to get a picture of the sparkle all over the image but it didn't photograph very well. Trust me though there is plenty of sparkle! lol
