Merry Christmas

So... it's Christmas Eve!! I think we are just about sorted! Its crazy so much time and preparation goes into one day!! I never feel ready no matter how early I start and I still have a  few friends that will be getting New Years cards instead of Christmas cards!!!

This card was made using Simple Santa  from Dr Digi and coloured with Promarkers. I die cut the frame using a My Favourite things scalloped die. All the papers are from Doodlebug as are the letters spelling out Mum and Dad. I used red mirri card to die cut the Merry Christmas. I also used some stickles on the fluffy trim on his clothing.

Right I have the last few little finishing touches to do... I have to go make fudge and a Nutella christmas tree!

Have a Merry Christmas and I will be back in 2018 if not before if Father Christmas brings me some crafty goodies to play with!!

Thanks for all your support and lovely comments through the year,

Simple Santa on a Simple Sunday.

Hello - The theme for today is Simple... I have a little bit of a headache after being at a friends 40th Birthday party last night so everything I do today needs to be very simple and will be done very slowly!!!

The card I have made to show you today is using DR Digi image called Simple Santa. And I have kept the design very Clean and Simple too and even used a background paper and greeting from Simple Stories!! (It's like it did it on purpose!!) The range is called Claus & Co and it has lovely sparkle foiled elements - I really love it.

I used a friskars punch to make the boarded in red mirri card and mounted the greeting panel in the same. The Ribbon is from Hobbycraft. Other than that the card is very SIMPLE and with these lovely crisp images - I don't think they need much else. Oooo apart from a bit of diamond stickles on his fur trim!!

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Usual
Clothes - Red, Poppy, Ruby, Cardinal Red & Burgundy.
Sack - Pear green & Lime Zest with a Emerald & Grass green panel.
Boots and gloves - Cools greys
Used a little cool grey and powder blue to shade the beard also.

Right I'm off to get copious amount of tea ...
See you soon,
