Visit to Santa

My c2cu card this week is about my memories of Christmas past. As a child I loved my visits to Santa 

And this card is depicts just that.

Christmas Angels

This card is so simple to, the dies do it for you. All dies used are crafts too. I have used an oval for the centre, Christmas angels for the main decoration and holly for the top and bottom of the card. 

I have used red, clear and gold gems with stickles on the M and C and on the angels.

Through the window

This card is a view from the window, one of this months c2cu challenge blog cards.

I have used cheery Lynn and marrianne dies to create this card. 

Blue Mirri card is used for the background with peel off stars in the sky and sticklers glitter on the roof tops. A bright red bow finishes it off.

 I love this card it make me want to snuggle up in front of the fire.

Christmas sparkle

This is the first Christmas card this year. I love sparkle so Christmas gives me a good reason to use as much as I can.

I have used 2 Christmas trees across the centre of a folded A4 sheet of pearlised card and a selection of 3 different sized snow flakes for the centre piece with a diamanté in the middle. Everything is cut out of Mirri card with the words merry Christmas placed above and below the snow flakes.

A little bit of glitter

This is my second card in the c2cu texture and glitter month

For this card I have put double sided sticky sheet over the black flowers and covered with ultra fine hues glitter. I used green red glitter this makes the black look green and the white look pink. Very easy to do and very affective. Have fun

Felt roses

C2cu challenge this month is textures and glitter. One of my textured cards is this beautiful rose card.

For the roses I have used felt and for the background I cut out a lattice in white and put it onto the card to create an embossed effect. 

The foliage and words are cut out in white and coloured with distressed ink.

Try using felt to get stunning effects. 

Fun in the sun beach colours

This weeks card for c2cu challenge is beach colours and I have kept the colours very pastel to get a dreamy effect.

The backing sheet has been embossed using a crafts too folder, the boat and anchor are from marianne dies. I have used pastels to colour the background and stickles to enhance the embossing and the sea. 

I have gone over all the background with titanium white pastel to subdue the colours.

Have fun
