Just Magnolia & Friday Sketchers

Hello again! Well, here we go - the same papers (LOVE the colours), but with a lovely Magnolia image - but Edwin this time. He is just so sweet tangled up in the lights....got that challenge to come shortly in Chez Pawpads! Anyhow!
I loved the look of the challenge at Just Magnolia this week. I've had time to play this weekend due to the weather, so here we are! The papers are Bo Bunny - Winter Joy. I have used the sketch at Friday Sketchers too - as I have never used a triangle as a main point in the layout before, and thought I'd give it a go!!

The sentiment is Hero Arts. All of the sparkle on here has had been added using a Viva Decor Glitter Liner. Die cuts are Nellie Snellen frames, with the holly leaves punched using a Martha Stewart jumbo punch. The Poinsettia is a Magnolia DooHickey.
Edwin has been coloured with Copics, with the shine on the lights picked out with Glossy Accents.
 
Thanks so much for visiting! Kxx

Papertake Weekly - Sketch 51

Hello! Well, as the festive season is creeping up on me, I thought it was time I got myself sorted and made a few cards for Christmas.
Here is one I made today, using the sketch from Papertake Weekly Challenge - Sketch 51. I really liked working with this sketch. The image is a Stampavie stamp, with a Paula Pascual sentiment. The gorgeous coloured papers are Bo Bunny Winter Joy - these came so close to being papers that I bought just to stroke as I love the colours in these papers so much!

Die cutting has been done with Nellie Snellen dies, and colouring using my trusty Copics! The oval behind the image has been airbrushed to blend in with the main image. The shimmer on the main image has been applied using Tattered Angels 'Glam' which is great to apply to an image like this. A liberal dose of Viva Glitter Liner, and in the words of Gordon Ramsay....Done!
