Brrrrrrr...

It's my Tuesday to post a card I've made for the challenge of ANYTHING GOES WITH A HANDMADE BOW over at Craft-Dee BowZ.  For my card today I chose two images from Pink Gem Designs named Winter Chloe and Yule Log. Using the png files, I had her sit on the log.

I colored my image with Copics and used white snowy glitter. The snowflakes are made with Bo Bunny paint. The banners on the left side of the card were made with washi tape stuck on white paper and then cut out.

My bow is a triple looped bow and it tied just beautifully using my bow tool. Have you tried a bow tool to make your bows? It saves me time and money since every bow comes out great now. I no longer have wasted ribbon and I can make a great bow the first time I try with any ribbon!

The team has made some beautiful projects to inspire you to join our challenge this month at Craft-Dee BowZ where the challenge is always ANYTHING GOES AND ADD A HAND MADE BOW. I hope you've followed us each Tuesday for inspiration and you still have a few more days to enter our challenge!

A Pink Christmas

I've had a secret...I've kept IT quiet and didn't say anything until now. I didn't want to announce IT without having something to show for it.  What is the IT?  It's that I'm a CUTIE PIE!!!  I was invited to join The Cutie Pie Design Team and am thrilled to pieces to be on the Team!

This is my first card as a member of the Team. The challenge this month at The Cutie Pie Challenge Blog is PRETTY IN PINK. I love the color pink and pink winter cards are a favorite of mine. There are so many shades of pink, and all so pretty, so this challenge was super easy! I used an image from one of our sponsors, Crafty Sentiments.



 

 

I colored my image with Copics and the fur on her ear muffs and hand muff are glittered with Studio G glitter. The snow on the ground is chunky glitter by Darice. I used a Marianne embossing die around my image and used white Stampin' Up ink and then Creations Unlim Embossing Snowdrift embossing powder on the raised areas. The sentiment is a die from the same Marianne set and I used a rub on sentiment by Pebbles.

 

My snowflake dies are by Memory Box and I inked them with pink ink then embossed them with the same embossing powder. The pink poinsettias are from I Am Roses and the mittens in the bottom left corner are a die by Joy and embossed with the glittery embossing powder, too. I tied a bow with a bit of embroidery floss and glued it on. I used a set of Stampin' Up snowflakes dies for my background paper and used Stampin' Up Winter White embossing powder on them. I used a metal mitten brad in the middle of my pink seam binding bow. My jewels are from Queen & Co.
