Design Your Own Enchanted Christmas

Okay so what happened to the sun🌞 I'd like to know ? It's quite wet outside today and I'm sure that the gardens will appreciate it at least but never mind I've been busy this morning making some different backgrounds to give the class ladies some ideas and inspiration to create their own at class.
Since we had our Demo Day on Saturday just gone featuring Sara's Enchanted Christmas Collection I have continued with the theme for our classes and you will be in charge of composing your own Christmas Scene I've just made a couple of cards and panel images as a guide for you to choose a layout to go with so if you have a favourite colour you can bring ink pads of your choice if you wish to do so.
I have also used the 3D Tree's Embossing folder for s 5x7 card again you choose which colour to make it in.
Below is a list of things I used :
Blending Ink Pads..... Harmony or Distress inks
Black Versafine or Archival  ink pad
Blending tools
Stamping pad
Blending Mat
Stickles Glitter Glue
9cm (3.5 inch) Gel printing plate
Purple Brusho powder
Brayer
Spectrum Noir Midas Silver ink pad

So! let's see what you all come up with in the day.                     
In the first photo you can see I have used the Pumice Stone,Baby Blue,  Pale Fig and just a hint of Midnight blue

5x7 Card
Sentiment from the Word Dies and Stamp set

Here are a couple of different layouts
The colours I used were mostly Purples and Pale Fig


Just realised I haven't yet taken any photos of the original card so I'm off to take them and I will post them in a short while
See you later x

All about Snowflakes

Yet another wet Wednesday, hope you are all well and have managed to stay dry, at least I've stayed in in today and worked on our class cards for tomorrow and as the title suggests it's all about the white stuff so to speak except they aren't all necessarily white well not on my cards at least.. I have chosen to use the new Snowflake Flourish Create a card die and also the Paper Boutique Snowflake Frame die one of which I have turned into a shaker card, see if you can tell which one it is lol!

Starlight Paints
Silver
Cyclamen
Glue Pen
Cut n Dry Foam

The paint is put onto the acetate to create a background

 I have die cut the create a card die and a selection of different sizes of Snowflakes

As you may of guessed this is the shaker card but it isn't glued down yet because I need to add the shaker bits for inside when I find them lol!
 This is a 5x7 card base
I will add another photo when it's finished and also one of the other card which is a 7x7.
Sorry rubbish photos had to rush them this morning but you get an idea in the first one what the Paper Boutique dies are like
