Village Scene

A second card today, this is for the challenge at Bah Humbug - A Christmas Scene. My image is a PSX stamp I have had for years, but think it fits the bill, I stamped in Versafine Onyx Black and embossed with clear ep. I coloured the houses with Copics and added Stardust Stickles. The starry paper is a free magazine one and the snowflake card behind the image is from Kanban. I added some punched snowflakes and the sentiment is a rub-on.

*Cheers*


My DT card today is for the challenge at My Time to Craft which this week is "Drink Up". I didn't have any suitable stamps but managed to find this decoupage in my stash. The papers are Hampstead by Papermania, I added brads and stamped "Cheers".

Christmas Stocking

A card for the challenge at Bah Humbug. I used a vellum by Papermania on the background secured with eyelets, but you can't see the pattern on the photo, not been able to get a very good one. I used a stocking topper from my stash to which I added some white pearls and matted onto shapes cut with Nesties with adhesive stones attached. The sentiment is from the Crafters Companion stamp set which I won in the Bah Humbug challenge a few weeks ago.
