More for Christmas

Still going strong with the Christmas cards, this was such a quick and simple card to make. The first one I did was just using denim adirondack ink pad and I put the sky on with a brayer I liked the way it gave it movement and depth this one wasn't quite finished when I scaned but it has the glitter on the trees I added text to the bottom and grounded the trees.

Incase your wondering I used regular card stock.

This is done the same way but with a big and juicey pad the trees ended up lower down so put the text in the sky.

You don't have to use a brayer for the sky as I later did one dtp with the distress ink and that gave a far more even flat tone.

I used prisma glitter with the sukra glaze pen it looks so pretty as it seems to take on the colour of the inks, boy do I sparkle :)

stamped image swap

The image was stamped 1 on to blue paper the other onto green, I added extra colour with distressing inks them photo copied one so now I have 3. I then took 1 and cut it up and punched it which left me with 1 that had bits missing and a pile of bits lol I then placed the pieces over the 2 whole ones added some glitter to 1 eye and defined the squares with a white pen.

I'd like to thank my friend Em for sending me the stamped images

Getting back to normal

Well here we are in November and the group is setup on yuku along with a number of other group from msn, only one of the groups I'm in has gone to Muiltyply and to be honest I'm glad we didn't go down that route.

Now I have swaps to catch up on and a scrapbook to finish, but I did manage a quick little card this affternoon

Oh brother

What a few days it has been with rhumors of MSN closeing the groups and looking at varies places we can move to, at the moment we have a backup group on yahoo not my favourite place to be for chatty groups all those emails lol enought to drive you mad . Don't get me wronge I love the Yahoo groups I'm in but they arn't chatty ones .... well most of the time .

Still it's a lovely autumn day today and the apples are falling off the trees

I have been a bit quiet here it's harder keeping up with a blog than I thought it would be lol so hats off to you all who manage it every week.

I have done a few cards for swap on an msn group I co-manage with a friend, so that does take a fair bit of my time. We are doing a Christmas weekly challenge for october Last week was tags and this week is funky got to think about that lol

This tag card is my frist attempt at Tim Holtz 12 days of christmas... think I could do better, just wish I could get the big tags he uses.
