Christmas in July at Sweet Stampin'

 If you live in Scotland you could be forgiven for thinking that Christmas is just around the corner, given the weather we're having here.  While in reality we're a wee while away from making cards in pre-Christmas panic mode, over at Sweet Stampin' we're encouraging you to add another card to your collection by giving our new challenge a Christmas theme.

My DT card features a Pretty Pink Posh wreath which I stamped and coloured with Copics before cutting out the the co-ordinating die.  I layered this up with a second wreath to make it a bit more sturdy and added glossy accents and glitter pen to accent some of the smaller images.

I gold heat embossed a sentiment from MFT in the centre of a dark green cardstock panel and popped this onto a white cardbase.

We'd love you to join in with us this fortnight so do check out the challenge blog here for more inspiration from the design team.

Take care xx

Flowers at Sweet Stampin'

 I'm jumping in on Team Wends' challenge at Sweet Stampin' this week as it's my favourite theme - Flowers!

The image is a digi from Alex Syberia designs and believe me, it's a joy to colour.  As usual I used Copics and chose the R80+ colour range.  The sentiment is from an Altenew birthday set which is a good few years old.

It's been a good first week to the school holidays, in spite of the dodgy weather, as it was the Boy Wonder's graduation on Wednesday.  I'm a very proud mum but now he needs to get a job!

Why not hop over to the challenge blog to check out the Team Wends creations - we'd love you to play along with us!
