ABC Christmas ,, ‘W’ for Winter Sports

Hi all :-) Time is flying by and Christmas will be here in only 6 weeks !! If you haven’t started your cards yet then you are LATE !! Better get inky and join us !! :-)

Our challenge for the next fortnight is ,,,

‘W’ for Winter Sports ,, ice skating, sledding, ski-ing, even ice fishing !!

We are sponsored by the lovely Heidi at Simon Says Stamp so a fab $15 voucher on offer for one lucky entrant

AND the Stamp Fairy are sponsoring too so you could win a choice of 3 digi images too :-)



For my card I used this very cute Penguin Sled stamp from Penny Black. I coloured with Copics and added Polar White flower soft to their hats and Glossy Accents on their beaks. I embossed a the background white card with a Sizzix Dots folder, the snowflake paper is a digi download from Pink Petticoat and I layered everything onto silver stardream card. I used Martha Stewart Icicle and snowflake punches and pounced a Pearl Paint Dabber onto a trip of white card to place under the ribbon ( from the Ribbon Girl) I added a button, twine and a lovely hat charm that was a RAK from America xx I used loads od Star Dust Stickles and a Robins Nest Metallic Dew Drop to finish.

For my card I followed the fab sketch on the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge.


I used this very cute House Mouse Special Delivery stamp. Coloured with copics and the edges inked with Stormy Sky DI, I then added loads of Star Dust stickles for the rain. The papers are Basic Grey from a Boxer pack and I made a poppy look alike flower :-) I coloured white card with Fired Brick DI and used a Spellbinders Spiral Blossom die, wound it around, fixed with blob of glue from a glue gun, added a blob of glossy accents in the middle and sprinkled with black glitter, it looks fab IRL but doesn’t show on the piccy. I used my lovely Heart Swirl die ( love this) and the sentiment was made using my fab new Hero Arts Stamp and Die Cut Floral set. I finished with some red organza ribbon, a BG button and some black American Tag twine.
