Celebrate

One of my son's friends was getting married recently,

which of course means, having a card to go with a gift.

I don't often make wedding cards, so for inspiration I looked at Pinterest.

As luck would have it, I had recently acquired a 'bow tie' die

which was just what was needed for this card.

As the die has little polka dot holes in it,  I cut coloured paper to fit in behind each one.

'celebrate' is also a die,

I just wish that it was all connected instead of being in four parts
as it would have made centreing it much easier!

The white front of the card is glitter paper, matted onto black shimmer card,

then on lime/yellow shimmer and finally a blue shimmer.

It was all put onto a white card.

Charmed Christmas

Just to be confusing, and I'm not hard to confuse, I thought I'd better do a second post as we're heading off to a wedding this weekend and I have a feeling I might just miss this challenge if I don't do it now.

At Wicked Wednesday, the theme is "A Charmed Christmas", so when I was playing this morning I came up with this, using stamps from Paper Smooches.

This little moose was stamped onto watercolour paper, his santa hat was then added before colouring with watercolour pencils  (my favourite colouring method at the moment).  I blended Fired Brick Distress Ink around the edges and lastly glued the little bell onto the end of the santa hat.

I'm entering this ATC in this weeks Wicked Wednesday challenge.

Happy crafting!
