Red Florals for Christmas and a Birthday

 I saw the December challenge the Flower Challenge and knew what I wanted to do...

 

I have a few Christmas digital images from Gracielle Design and one is a hanging Poinsettia. A Christmas Hello set...

I printed the flower and the sentiment from the same set onto white card.  I used two of the dies from Pink Fresh Studio's essentials mini slimline card.  I used Copics to colour up the flower and and then added it to the red die cut frame and then onto the white mini slimline base.  I added some white pearls to the background florals.  A very CAS card for Christmas.  

This morning we had to pop into our Local Mitre 10 (hardware store) to get some hooks and screws to repair my wardrobe that collapsed yesterday... and while I was there I picked up some Valspar paint chips and chose reds and greens so I could do a red flower. 

I used Altenew Fantasy Floral 3D die to layer up the three colours of the paint chips.  The leaves are only one layer.  I used a Gina K Designs sentiment which was white embossed.  I added some white pearls to finish.  I used Gina K Master Layouts 2 to cut the black and white layers.  I added to a red top fold US A2 card base. 

Just one more week at work before I take my Christmas break.  I had planned to have been in Perth Australia this Christmas and took 4 weeks leave, but COVID put paid to that plan.  But I decided to still take the 4 weeks off and just relax.  We might go North for awhile to visit our friends.  The hard border around Auckland is being lifted on Wednesday night, and as we are both double vaxxed we can travel..  

Take care everyone.  

Coffee lovers 2019 Fall/Winter Blog Hop

Hi there I'm a bit late to the party here... blog hop finishes in less than 20 minutes!

Here's my card

I used Super Sponsor's Graciellie Designs image called Christmas Cheer.    I printed it onto so some 200gm watercolour paper and use Altenew Watercolour pans to colour it in.  When I printed the image I changed the colour of the sentiment to a red colour.  I added some Spectrum Noir sparkle pen to the coffee.

Edited:  My entry is 1257th...lucky last!. so if you arrived here from the blog hop... thanks so much.

Coffee and Love Go Together

It's my day to share over at Die Cut Divas ..   Our lovely sponsor is

I got to work with Coffee & Love digital set

I printed the image with the sentiment and used some Copics to colour up.  I then used a Catherine Pooler die to cut it out.  Next I layered it onto the an embossed panel and then onto the card base.   I loved all the sentiments in the set and it was hard to chose what one to us.

Do come and join us at Die Cut Divas with our May Flowers challenge.

I used a flower from Sending Kindness set  

I printed the image and sentiment and coloured up with my Prismacolor pencils,  before cutting with a Catherine Pooler Designs die cut scalloped die.  I cut a second piece to add as the back of card.  I added a penciled frame around the image.
