* Scrapbook Stamp Society: Mr Snowman & Free Digi

Hello everyone!


Today I'm sharing my first December DT project for 
Scrapbook Stamp Society. 

The challenge is always Anything Goes, but this month we have an optional theme of Christmas

The Winners and Runner-Ups will receive My Bestie digital stamps from a selection on offer. This time we have a 6 week challenge to take us over the holiday season and there are more prizes than usual! All details are on the challenge blog and there is a summary below:

3 first prizes of 5 digis and a Guest Designer spot on http://addicted-to-stamps.blogspot.nl/  
 5 second prizes of 3 digis 
 7 third prizes of 1 digi   
3 DT winners and a Guest Designer win 2 digis http://addicted-to-stamps.blogspot.nl/
 5 Runner-ups win 1 digi

Here is my card:

I used Scan0046, Mr Snowman, and used a stitched rectangle die to cut him out. I coloured him with Copics and lightly inked the background with Spun Sugar.

The digital background paper is called Gothic Flakes by Lozzy and was a prize for winning a blog challenge. I added a strip of pink organza ribbon to the left side of the background and popped the image on foam pads in the centre, at a bit of an angle. I added an inked fir tree die cut to the right, some ribbon flower trim to the bottom edge and a swirl die cut to the top of the image.

Next, I made a small cluster embellishment from a die cut poinsettia with some pink glittery leaf fronds, natural fibres and pink beaded stamen.

 

I hope you'll pop over to the Challenge Blog and see the DT's fabulous projects.
We would love it if you'd share your work with us!

Sherri had very generously given the DT this beautiful image (IMG911) to share on our blogs, so please help yourself! Then you can colour her up and enter our challenge!

Witching Hour

Hello crafty friends and followers!

Today I'm sharing a card I made for the Gecko Galz September challenge where the theme is 'The Witching Hour'. 

I found the background paper on the Gecko Galz Pinterest board under 'free monthly papers'. The image was also free from one of the DT posts on the Geko Galz blog - you can find it here. Thanks, Dana!

I coloured the image with Spectrum Noir markers, then applied glitter to the witches dress and hat. I then fussy cut around her leaving a small white border.

The backing paper had ribbon tied around the left edge before it was adhered to black card. The image was added on foam pads for some dimension. The sentiment was found from a Google search, printed onto white card then matted onto black card and attached on foam pads too. To finish off, I added some black die cut branches.

My card was winner at Incy Wincy Designs and in the Top 3 at Angies Digital Stamps!

                

Don't forget to add yourself to the draw for my blog candy. 

You can find out how HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today!
