My second parcel has now arrived! And other cold wintery day so what better to do than play with my stamps, inks, pencils, dies and having fun. Hubby was helping a friend move this morning and I headed off to look for knitting patterns. Well.... it's been years since I bought patterns and boy are they hard to find... mostly books of patterns at around the $30-35 range... so instead I look in the crafting section. Picked up a new lightbox - was around $70 - down to $30 and only $18 at checkout! Has three different light tones and up to 10 different strengths.
Anyhoo.. decided that I wanted to try out the Bridge card design that Jennifer McGuire did a couple of weeks ago. And as the challenge at Christmas Kickstart Challenge this month is Festive Fancy Folds...thought I make a Christmas card.
I used my new Altenew Dotty Circles 3D embossing folder and some blue and white card to make the panels to add to the card. I decided on using a die cut panel for the bridge. This is the largest of the Spellbinder Labels Four set. I keep the panel in the die and used whatever blue was on my Altenew blending brush to add some colour. Love how this gives a little white border. I had the stamped Couture Creations Ringing Bells and the Spellbinder's Yana's Christmas Sentiments (hot foiled in red) in my baggie of Christmas bits and bobs.... so a quick colouring with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol and it was done!
