Banksy Claus

Morning all -

Today's card is using Banksy Claus from Dr Digi. This is such a fab image for those tricky teenagers. I've stuck with simple red here but the beauty of digital it can be in any colour!!

I have used paper from Studio Calico paper for the background as it reminded me of more graffitti. The brick pattern paper is from Simple Stories collection called I AM. I mounted this on black card and then added black house boarder.
I used glaze and whilst this was still sticky I added Cosmic Shimmer to make it look wet. I also used Diamond stickles on Santa's fur to give it a sparkle.

I used Red, Poppy and Cardinal red to colour the santa suit and Warm Greys 2 to 5 for his boots and gloves. I also used silver pen for the cannister.

Anyways I better get back to it... lots more cards to make yet before I'm done. Although I have got most of my Christmas shopping done after a mammoth session in Chester this week!! And if anyone is struggling to think of what to get me for Christmas - I'd love a Bansky...

Have a lovely day,

It's Weekend Wanda!

 It's Weekend and here is Weekend Wanda  from Dr dig.
Why do weekends take so long to come round and then go so quickly!! They just fly by.  I did get a bit of a lie in yesterday morning but then got up and did a 10k run (Still keeping my New Years Resolutions but we are only 2 weeks in!!)
Anyways the point to me telling you that was I then got home and was so tired I sat in my dressing gown for an hour before getting the energy to dress!! So Weekend Wanda (Minus the rollers) is pretty much how I looked in the afternoon. (Although I hope I don't have such as big chin!!) Anyone else get home and put the PJ's on straight away?? I think I would live in mine if I could - they are just sooo comfy.

To make this card I cut a diagonal panel from My Minds Eye - My Story collection. I love this paper and the foil detail. I used a sizzix boarder die to cut the panel from Pink Satin card and some gold trimmed black ribbon to cover the join and to make a bow. I added a couple of shimmering pink gems from Hobbycraft and put Stardust stickles over the trim of the dressing gown to make it look fluffy and textured. Finally I put some glaze on Wanda glasses and drink.

I used these Promarkers & flexmarkers - 

Skin - Spice, Coral, Soft Peach, Blush & Antique White with Baby pink cheeks. 

Dressing gown -  Pale Blossom, Baby Pink, Rose Pink & Cerise.

Trim - Cerise, Hot Pink & Vermillion.

Eyes & Rollers - Cloud Blue
