Christmas Panic!

Ok, I always have very good intentions every year in the run-up to Christmas. I have perfect images in my head of sitting down in my craft room watching the snow, listening to carols and crafting away. Pah, that never happens. So in reality: last minute panic, need to make cards, so reach for a Hunkydory kit! Santa's Pants it is then...
The card to the left is an 8x8 blank with elements from the Santa's Pants collection and a Spellbinders Poinsettia used in the middle. Bottom left is an A5 card created from the same collection with snowflake acetate across the whole card as well. The right-hand one uses
                                                                                    acetate over the Santa scene and is also 8x8.

Golden Fairies

This 6x6 card was the result of playing with Flitterglu and gilding flakes. I have layered the main card onto gold mirror card and then black card to make it pop. The text is from a Tim Holtz Stampers' Anonymous set and is one of my favourites. The main panel was made by inking with Distress inks and Inkilicious brushes using green and yellow tones. I have then stamped the dandelions from Lavinia Stamps in plain ink to create the background. Over the top of this I have used the dandelions again, this time stamping with Flitterglu and adding some golden gilding flakes. The fairies are also from Lavina, this time stamped and embossed with detail powder.

Fluffy Penguins!

Here they are again, those little Hobby Art Penguins! They are all rather cute and I have been having fun. All the elements have been made using the Penguins set, including the sentiment. I have silver embossed the background snowflakes and used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink for the icy sky. The red matt layer has faux stitching all around to draw the eye in. The best bit I think though is the Woodware Fluffy Stuff on the hat! When added and heated gently, the stuff expands and then goes hard. You can't help but feel it! I have also used some large icy glitter to add to the frosty feel.
