Elzybells: A little Winter magic!


Hello and thanks for dropping in!  Here is a quick little one-layer Christmas card using my favourite Cuttlebug folder from the Winter Wonderland set.  I really love the embossing on this particular folder - it's just so pretty.  It is available at Fat Cat's Card Corner here.  I actually started this card in August - but only just got around to colouring the image - it's just been sitting on my desk buried amongst all the other stuff (you know how it is LOL!!!).

I coloured the image with Prismacolor pencils and OMS, plus I used a Lyra Skin tone pencil for the face which I recently bought from my local Art Store.  Lyra pencils blend beautifully with OMS.  I added some Liquid Applique to the coat and ear muffs and let that dry overnight before I applied my heat-gun to make it "pop".  I did actually paint over the Liquid Applique (once it had cooled) with white acrylic paint because the Liquid Applique comes out an off-white colour which looked kind-of "dirty" against the white cardstock, then added Kindyglitz on top to make it sparkle.  I lightly chalked around the image with blue chalk.

The snowflake on the ribbon was diecut using the Cuttlebug Snowflake #2 die set, and the snowflakes dotted around the embossing were punched from my Martha Stewart Snow Flurry edge punch (they are the leftover punchies when you punch a border with it), and these snowflakes are up on mounts.   I added tiny red rhinestones to the centres.   Here is a little closeup:


I attached the ribbon in 2 separate elements and the bow itself was made with my Bow Easy.

Both the image and sentiment are by Elzybells Art Stamps UK who are closing on the 30th September.  These particular images have sold out, but there are still alot of other stamps - including Christmas ones - that are still available but you'd better be quick!!  I still can't believe they are closing - it is such a shame :-(

Challenges:

I am entering this card into the Crazy 4 Challenges C4C56 of "Bling".

And the Allsorts Week 71 Challenge of Plain and Simple.

Plus I am also popping this card into the Splitcoaststampers Free for All Challenge F4A21 of Snowflakes and Pearls from July - which was what I was originally started making the card for.

Anyway, that's about it for me.  Thanks for visiting - I'll be back in a few days with a Vintage Christmas card!  

Jocelyn

Welcome "BOO"TI-FUL Friends!


Welcome to a Halloween Lunch!
Please come in "BOO"TI-FUL FRIENDS! 
Welcome to everyone!
FIRST...
 I want to say THANK YOU
to everyone (476 entries) that entered
 My Pumpkin Giveaway
 hosted by Jen at CRAFT-O-MANIAC!
A BIG THANK YOU TO Jen!
I appreciate you all!
Let's get together for a Halloween LUNCH!

Welcome to my HOME!
OCTOBER will soon be here!
It's time to celebrate  LAUGHTER and FUN!
  
New Pumpkins with SPIDERS are a part of the FUN!

Do you remember the HALLOWEEN gift bags?
Well, it's time to put them to use!
You will find your napkin and silverware and a few treats tucked inside!
We all need a little treat once in awhile!

Halloween napkins are made from Moda "Boo TO YOU" fabric!
Bags are trimmed with ric rac, and polka dot ribbons.

You will also find a delicious cupcake
made from Halloween socks in a candy corn dish!
I found the Candy Corn dishes at Target for 2.50 a dish!
I thought they were so cute!
Of course, they would be great with candy corn!
My kids eat them way too fast!
So, it's HALLOWEEN SOCKS!

I found the socks at TARGET in the DOLLAR aisle!
You can find longer socks at JoAnn's!
 (Hurry, they go fast).
Roll and wrap with a ribbon, tuck inside a cupcake liner.
A Fun PARTY TREAT JUST FOR YOU!
I added three of my Halloween with Spiders Pumpkins and Candy Corn Pillows for the centerpiece
One Halloween Quilt along with a lot of
BIG BLACK SPIDERS  from THE DOLLAR STORE!


I found the CANDY CORN and  PUMPKIN Bowls at Target.
I was going to Target for Halloween socks!
It was the Halloween bowls that started all of this!
I will blame it on to the PUMPKIN BOWLS!
I think the PUMPKIN BOWLS would be great for
Potato and Cheese Soup and PUMPKIN BREAD!


I 'm trying to find some HALLOWEEN polka dot plates!
Black with white polka dots would be great!
It was tempting to paint a few polka dots on my
Off-white Fall plates!

Add some more goodies or a "love" note 
in the Halloween gift box!
Enjoy!
Thanks for visiting!
Come back and visit soon!
Have a "BOO"-TI-FUL DAY!
PS.  If you know where I can find some polka dot Halloween plates ..let me know!
Wouldn't it be great to walk into a Quilt Store/Fabric Store that has
matching dishes to match a new line of seasonal fabrics!
I would do cart wheels to find orange polka dot plates!
There are millions of Halloween paper plate patterns!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BILLS FAMILY!
I WILL CONTACT YOU TO PICK  YOUR PUMPKINS FROM THE PUMPKIN PATCH!
