A Little Wobble And A Lot Of Joy

Hello.
Today I'm sharing a cute Santa card, with a body that wobbles with joy.
You can't help but give it a little wiggle - I think my grandsons will love it.

Santa is on a distress inked background, splattered with some water drops and snow.

The snow is a white gel pen, used through a snowfall stencil. This simple way of doing 'snow' has been a revelation for me this year. It makes it quick and easy, but still looks random, and no more of me trying (and failing) to do the dreaded splatter.

Frost Loving Friends

Hello.
I'm sending a big thank you to Tara and the team at Seven Hills Crafts today.
I was the lucky winner of their October Challenge and they kindly sent me a £10 voucher to spend in store.
Oooh - what to buy - so many goodies.
I finally settled on this cute frosty friends set. It's an older set, but it had all the elements to make a pretty, winter scene.

I inked up a background panel with some distress ink. Then I used the trees die to cut the foreground and layer it on top. It was a bit stark in plain white, so I did a very light smoosh over with the same colour distress ink.

The die cut friends and elements were coloured with copics and attached with foam tape.
I held my breath whilst I stamped the sentiment, then used a stencil and white gel pen for the snow.

Open All The Presents

Hello.
I really love a good, versatile craft set, don't you?
And this handmade holidays set works perfectly, not just for Christmas gifts, but for birthdays too.
I think I will get a lot of use out of it.

I went for a pink and girly style today - with a distress ink background and using Copics and a white, gel pen to create my own gift wrap on those presents.

I was thinking about the price of postage again, when I put this together, so all the elements are flat. With hindsight, I wish I had popped them up with foam tape.
It would have looked better to have more depth. Oh well - lesson learnt.
