Keep it Simple Challenge 7 - Seeing Stars

Well its Sunday morning so that means its time for Keep it Simple!! This weeks challenge is ''Seeing Stars'' and what a fab challenge too especially so close to christmas.

I went with a traditional scene but slightly modern being a collage stamp. Decoupaged it up in two places and made my own background with book page and distress ink, as the challenge says ''keep it simple''. I am also entering this into the fab Winter Wonderland challenge which is ''Jesus is the reason for the season''

Thanks for visiting me

Winter Wonderland Challenge

Sorry for the bad picture but the light here today is terrible.

This week over on Winter Wonderland they have a great theme of ''A-One layer card'' For this I have taken a square card and added some simple stamping and a couple of blobs of stickles.

Winter Wonderland & Sunday Sketch & Stamp

This card is a combination of Winter Wonderland Challenge - Strawberry's & Cream and Sunday Sketch & Stamp providing a really simple and elegant sketch. I must say the whole strawberry & cream theme had me stumped for quite a while this morning and I was almost going to give up, but rummaging through my Christmas stamp box the idea sparked and here it is. Cream card, Fired Brick Distress Ink, Anna Griffin Holly Leaf stamp and a really really old collage stamp from Hero Arts. Ribbon I think is Papermania, again really old.

Friday Sketchers & Winter Wonderland Challenges.

Phew haven't been around for a week!! Its been pretty hectic, the kind of hectic where you do loads but actually look like you have done nothing at all. So I sat in bed last night watching Dirty Dancing on the telly and coloured this lovely image I bought from the Harrogate show ages ago.

I am entering this into 2 challenges, firstly Friday sketchers challenge 105 which provided the fab sketch, love simple clean elegant ones like this and secondly the Winter Wonderland challenge which is love at Christmas. Image is coloured with pro markers and papers I have no idea where they came from. Not sure who makes the stamp it doesn't say on the side, but I think I bought it from the stamp addicts stand at the show.

Winter Wonderland & Friday Sketchers Challenges

Friday Sketchers is celebrating its 101st sketch with a fab sketch and a blog hop with loads of prizes along the way so make sure you go take a lookie!!

This card has been made with the sketch from Friday Sketchers and the theme from Winter Wonderland which is ''cute creatures''. I actually dont have that much in the way of christmas backing papers so I made this one myself from tumbled glass distress ink and a very large creative expressions stamp. The reindeer image is from whipper snapper and coloured with my trusty promarkers.
