hugs and kisses

White black and red it the theme for the atc swap on the lots to do forum, so just some basic stamping and highlighting in red .

I've used stamps from Paper Artsy unban snapshots, my one and only Sugar Nelly and a personal impressions. Text from ruberdubado and Hampton art .
I think the top two will be just right for Sparkles Challenge Forum

Mans card

Own up who's got one of these at home lol
 A quick and simple card useing a free stamp form Craft Stamper mag a few years back. I've stamped and coloured on to cream card mount that onto printed parchment paper and distressed the edge with Spiced Marmalade

Just right I think for the Allsorts Challenge and man /boys card
All so the Stampmans challenge Distressed  well you would be wouldn't you lol

back to basics

back to basics with some colouring pencils these are blendable though not the expensive ones I stamped directly on to the white card but then decided to cut it out and mount it on some black glossy card

I'm entering this in The Craft Barn Challenge so pop a long for some great ideas

A fond Farewell

This is the last challenge for a while on Lots To Do and it's brayering . I have over the last year really enjoyed the challenges set by Hilda, Alison and Zoe. But don't despair there's a new challenge blog starting in February called ...... Just for Fun and I'm sure you will enjoy it.
So here's my finally card for Lots To Do

not sure the colours used show to well in the photo I have used Adirondack Peach bellini and Butterscotch ink.

ATC's and winter card

Thought I had better make a post before the internet goes on me again and they come to lay a new cable to  the house
So here we have some winter flower snow drops for the lots to do Challenge along with 2 other ATC's for a swap on UK Stamper

 A winters tale for Sir Stampalot yes I know it's a christmas card but had an idea so had to go with it but to late for christmas lol all done with Hobby Art Stamps

Things with wings

Humm had to give this some thought as I wanted to do something different , but would you believe it it's gone pink again lol. The shoe is a stamp from Joanna Sheen and the die cuts made with  spellbinders . All the inks used are Ranger distress inks
