OSAAT challenge 39

Its time for my fortnightly DT card for One Stitch At A Time. This week it is Anything Goes but use your favourite colours.
My favourite Xmas colours are the traditional red & green, but I am liking the all white cards I am seeing in blogland, so I thought I would combine the two. The image is by Crafty Pad & called Holly Mouse with Bauble, which can be found here I have coloured the mouse with Prisma pencils & Sansador & glittered the hat & fur. The bauble I have glittered with Red & gold glitter, which you can see in the picture below.
Used Cuttlebug folders to emboss the backgrounds, glittered up the edges & layered. Added a couple of hat pins for good measure.Ribbon from stash.

Tilda with presents

Well here we are with another sketch over at Fairymoon Crafts & here is my take on it. Pina kindly provided the DT with some of the Tilda stamps that they have in the store to play with & she is coloured with Prima pencils & Sansador. BP s are Bearly Mine. Sentiment ticket was a freebie, sorry cannot remember where from but am happy to give credit if anyone knows it came from. Ribbon from stash & flowers from Crafty Feeling.

Penguin in pink

I saw this idea on merging Cuttlebug folders over at Jak Heaths blog & decided to have a play myself. The image is by Mo Manning @ Digital Pencil Too which I have coloured with Prisma pencils & Sansador. I have used the Xmas house folder  & tree bark (I think) & joined the two to make a scene. Covered the lower embossed bits with Glamour Dust to look like snow & mounted the penguin on foam pads & he looks like he is running through the snow (well at least I think he is).
Background is a SeeD stamp & silver Brilliance ink used to give a shine & stamped randomly onto black card. Ribbon from stash.

Ok, here we are once more with another sketch from Fairymoon Crafts Not many entries last week, so lets hope this week is better & get rushed off my feet  with all the commenting...lol.
I have made a Xmas card, yes another one, I am up to around 60 odd now, so getting there.
The image is from Pollycraft Designs & was a freebie                                                                                 which I have coloured with Prisma pencils
I have combined Cuttlebug folders behind the image to make a little scene & added Glamour Dust to make as snow effect. (I used the top of the Xmas house one & just used the snow falling part & the bark one I think...lol) I also used Snowflake folder & glittered that. Snowflake punch & glittered with both blue glitter & Glamour Dust.

Dream Big

My step son is 27 & normally hubby buys a card for him as one year I came up with several cards & he didn't like them, so I said ok, I will not make anymore, you can buy them & that has been the case for several years, even though he loves my cards usually & is very supportive. Anyway, I thought this year I would have a go again & see if it passed his standards. I am pleased to say he loves it & will not be buying a card for Ben this year...lol.
The decoupage was a sheet I had from Hobby Tool years ago & it was a dream to cut out. Papers from HOTP Cardmakers Classics. Sentiment from a sheet made by Cazz . Buttons & metal embellie all from stash.
