Yes, yes and yes - back on familar ground this week with the MAKE my MONDAY challenge. Suzi B's next Christmas challenge is:
Winter / Christmas Foliage
Holly, Ivy, Snowflakes, Pointsettas - the list is endless just follow a Christmas theme and include some foliage!
I have gone the traditional route and decided to work with holly and mistletoe. My foliage stamps are from a Papermania plate of clear stamps, I have stamed in Versafine and then coloured with distress inks and water. These were then painstakingly cut out - I find this quite relaxing!
My Tunisia Bird Cage LR0147 from Marianne Design has been cut using gold mirrir card. I sanded this down to take off the glare and show the white. The bird is from a PaperArtsy plate of stamps which I have embossed with claret and gold embossing powder to make it look like a robin. Machine stitching was added around the Marianne Design Let it Snow papers. Sentiment and ribbon added.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:-
