Vera Lane Studio: North Pole

 Hello!

For my Vera Lane Studio DT post today I have winter card featuring an older digi set called  The North Pole. In this set the two quirky elves are accompanied by the North Pole signpost, a star and sentiment.

I coloured the images with markers and fussy cut them.

The background is made with Infusions and Brushos for the dark sky.  I added some Violet Sprinkle It to add some iridescent violet shimmer.  The snow is texture paste sprinkled with Crystal Snow.

I also made an ATCoin for our Monochromatic Swap. Here is little Winter Coat and her snowman:

North Pole                                                Winter's Coat (on request)

That's all for now.

I hope you'll come along and play on Vera Lane. It's such a friendly, fun place to be!

Path of Positivity: Noelle

 Hello!

Happy Monday!
I hope you are staying safe and well.

Today is the start of a new Path of Positivity challenge.

This month the theme is Anything Goes with the optional twist of Rejoice.

Prizes this month include:

• $10 Gift Certificate from Limited Runs our guest sponsor for this month, for a person chosen in a random draw based on all qualifying entrants. 
• ONE image (value of $5 or less) from Scribbles Designs, for the post or project that the team deems most inspiring of the bunch based on all qualifying entrants.
• One digital image from Creative Bug Digital SnapShots for each person chosen as a DT Delight.

Our optional theme this month is Rejoice. 

For many, this time of year is an occasion for happiness. While the pandemic makes this year harder to get together with those you may normally spend time with during the holiday season, there are still many reasons we have to rejoice. Thus, we want you to create a project that reflects the JOY of the holiday season

Please remember in order to be eligible for the prizes your project must be positive, inspirational, motivational or encouraging in some way.

 I chose to use a beautiful stamp from Limited Runs called Noelle. She can be found in the Seasonal - Christmas section on this page.

My family is fairly small and I am not one for huge parties or celebrations any way, so this Christmas I will be very happy to spend some quality time with my immediate family. My Christmas card, featuring Noelle in the snow is reflecting my joy at being happy and healthy, having all that I need in life and enjoying the quiet calm of nature on winter days.

I coloured Noelle with Copic markers and fussy cut her leaving a thin, white border. I teamed this beautiful image with trees, die cut from card that I coloured by smooshing the new Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide inks onto card, dabbing, drying and smooshing several times to get a good depth of colour.

The sky is stamped with a stencil using Speckled Egg Distress Oxide. The ground is texture paste with Crystal Snow applied on top whilst it was still wet. The trees and Noelle are popped on foam tape for dimension. I splattered white paint and added some flecks of crystal snow to give the impression of falling snow. The sentiment is die cut.

Many thanks to Limited Runs, this month's guest sponsor,

and to Scribbles Designs as the ongoing sponsor of the challenge

* Vera Lane Studio: Snuggle Up

Hello! 

Happy Monday!

We're almost there! 

I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas time if you celebrate!

Today is my DT day at Vera Lane Studio. I have made a card with an older winter set called Snow Day:

I love this cute girl and her snowman! I coloured them with Copics and fussy cut them, running a black marker around the edges to mask my cutting imperfections.

The background is Infusions and Brushos with white Posca paint pen splatters. I added texture paste to the bottom of the card and whist it was wet sprinkled some crystal snow on top. The edges of the background are inked with black archival ink.

The characters are popped on foam dots and the sentiment was cut, inked along the edges and glued to the background.

Snow Day

I hope you'll come along and play on Vera Lane.
It's such a friendly, fun place to be!

Christmas Easel Box for Unstampabelles

Hello friends and followers!

A warm welcome to Georgiania Carson, my newest follower!

I'm honoured to be Guest Designer at Unstampabelles Challenges this month.

As the name suggests all projects must be created without any stamps or digis. 

The theme for the November challenge is ... Resistance.

You can interpret the theme any way you like. 

Normally for this theme, I would stamp an image and use embossing powder as a resistance and ink over it, but as I couldn't use stamps, today I decided to be different, think 'outside the box' and make an Easel Box. The resistance element for this is the stopper sentiment on top of the box - it keeps the easel open by resisting the effect of gravity! 

 The box was relatively easy to create following the step-by-step photographic instructions from the lovely Beccy, over at Beccy's Place which you can find here. 

Here is what I made:

I went with a Christmas theme, as we are getting close to December.

My easel box was made using just one 12 x12 inch piece of white card, one piece of A4 holly card and one piece of A4 green shimmer paper.

Beccy has done all the hard work, so I followed her instructions in order to construct the box and easel.

For the topper, I die cut a doily out of a piece of cream shimmer card. The flowers are made from white card, die cut with a Heartfelt Creations Majestic Blooms die. The die cuts were inked in a coral red and shaped using a stylus and foam pad. They were assembled and a yellow gem was placed in the centre of each flower. The leaves, die cut from green shimmer card with a Spellbinders set, were arranged around the flowers along with natural dried flowers from Anna Marie Designs.  Glue was applied with a Quikie glue pen and Crystal Snow from Inkilicious was added as a finishing touch.

The topper was adhered to the easel front on foam pads.

The sentiment is from a Papermania pack.

The inside of the easel has a holly banner and a Spellbinders Label Twenty die attached on foam pads to raise it up, so that it will act as a stopper (or resistance!!) for the Easel.

Thanks for stopping by today!
