Craft Challenge - Christmas with Lacy Sunshine Stamps

Morning I am here with my Dt card for Craft sorry a little late had the engineer out for my 2 month old washer cutting my clothes while washing found a seam which I dont think should be there and also sharp bits on the drum between the rubber. refusing to exchange and have to wait on a new drum and i must dispose of the old one. lol. Not too impressed all they want to do is sell you aftercare.

Anyway enough of my moaning onto my card for the challenge which is a nice cheerful one.

Craft this week are doing CHRISTMAS 

yes folks it will be here before you know it.

This week our sponsor is the fabulous and talented Lacy Sunshine Stamps i do like her drawing and is one of my fave designers. the prize is 3 digital images can I enter i wish.

Well i have used for my card a image I had on file for sometime and a fave of mine too

Tis the Season Rory'

I didnt want to colour her is traditional Christmas colours but wanted to create a warm feeling so have used some autumn colours

Image coloured with promarkers

Dp is Berry Merry by Jennifer Ellroy

Ribbon from Stash  

Bells from hobby craft

Sentiment is inkadinkadoo  tags and wishes

I used my new tim holts platform to place my sentiment direct onto the image. I had stamped onto a tag but was too big so before I added the bow I placed the finished card thank god for clever friends that buy me amazing presents saved my card.

Well hope that you will play along with us. You can enter twice so why not get started on those cards or tags you know it will help with the mad rush.

Thanks for popping by have a lovely day and stay safe we are having some big gusts of winds and with the trees full of leaves say we could have some blowing over.

Bye for now see you all tomorrow for crafty catz.

Crafty Catz / Time For Tea Challenge

Good morning and a Happy Friday.  

Weekend is just round the corner and we are promised another good one. Although this heat is disrupting my crafting far too warm in my room. 

Grab a cuppa as i have 2 challenges in this post.

Well as it is Friday then that must mean a new challenge at CRAFTY CATZ 

and as it is the 1st of the month (white Rabbits) then that must mean 

a new challenge at TIME FOR TEA

So if your looking for some challenges to enter then you cant go far wrong with either of these. Or why not combine as I have.

Now over at Crafty Catz it is Carols turn to host and as our challenge is ATG but Carol gets to pick a optional twist she went with a Colour combo BLACK & WHITE

Our sponsor for this challenge is 

Crafty Sentiments with a prize of 3 digital images

While over at TIME FOR TEA 

we have a CELEBRATION challenge

and there are lots of prizes details on the challenge blog

so anything that you are celebrating will fit but please remember you must use a Time For Tea image.

So here is my card which I have used this fab image from Time For Tea called Mew-vellous feed me available HERE and I have used the colour combo of Black & White to fit

Image has been coloured with my Promarkers and I have added some Pencil for texture

Faux stitching

Lawn Fawn Scallop Boarder die

Joanna Sheen Banner die

Computer generated sentiment

DP is from Papermania a very old 12x12 pad

Twine from stash

The dots of black & white are Tonic Nuvo drops
