Time For tea - baby its Cold outside

Good morning hope your having a good day. This is the last week of the childrens holidays so I am guessing that the mums will be busy getting last minute bits of uniform etc. did you have a good Bank Holiday here in the Uk weather wasnt the best was it. Yesterday i go a little trip out to Southport it was nice to get away from the house for a change.

So today i am bring you a Christmas card as my Time For Tea inspiration.

This one is one of the Rubber stamps Jo is selling and they are very limited stocks i am hoping that once they are gone she might bring the odd one back in digital format.

This one is called Baby it's Cold Outside checkout the shop for the Stamps HERE

I stamped and embossed the image with Black embossing powder gives a raised effect to the lines as my eyes have been tired at the minute and helps with colouring.

Image coloured with promarkers

Dies- Spellbinders, Xcut & marianne creatables

Inkadinkadoo sentiment

Ribbon from stash Tonic Glitter

Dp- DCWV Rose tinted christmas

Colours are a little different but I quite like the them teamed with the silver what do you think. Well a little different than the traditional colours. Not sure she is happy being cold maybe a coat next time lol.

Time to make it FEMININE at Passion For Promarkers

Good morning hope your all doing well!

On that note i hope that Janette is a little better today as she hasnt been too good. Sending hugs.

Today we have a new challenge at PASSION FOR PROMARKERS and this week our Nic has picked our theme

Make it Feminine 

Our fabulous sponsor this week is A Day For Daisies

with a prize of $12 for their store

For my card I have gone with an image called Doll Face 5

I won this image when it first came out and have been waiting to colour it up so here she is

Now I have been seeing a few friends playing with their Formiran foam and i had some and have never been very successful but was encouraged to give it another go.

I might add I still can mold the foam but used to make all the flowers using various dies. I love the tiny ones. This was 1 sheet of white coloured with pink ink.

Ingredients for my card are

Promarkers a Must

Dies including the base panel

Crafters Companion Memory box marianne sizzix 

Lace 

Ribbon#Pearls and glitter

Leaf punch
Here is a close up of the flowers

Well I think that covers it it did take a while cutting and making the flowers but I am actuall quite pleased with them. What do you think have you tried this foam and how have you got on with it. i would love to hear and any tips with this heat and shaping would be fab.

Now it is over to you please come and play along with us and dont forget to checkout the girls makes. Wow there is such variety again this week i am so lucky to be on such a talented team.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
