Landscapes for International Art and Soul

 Good afternoon and hope you are all well and keeping warm - unless of course you are in the southern hemisphere! Our first post at IAAS this year is to show landscapes.

My Card

This is an image from my Greeting Card Factory Deluxe programme and seems to work well. 

The trees are from Memory Box and the sentiment is an Inkylicious stamp. Please pop across to the blog and check out my teamies  work.  There are some great projects.

Take care.

 

 

CCC Snowy Trees

Good morning to you all and I hope it finds you all well. Thanks for dropping by. This is my card for our Christmas Card Club, which is not actually due until tomorrow, but since I have another DT card due then I am posting a day earlier as I normally do.  The theme this week is Snowy Trees and it was my choice. We take it in turn to choose the theme which makes it interesting.

My Card

Inside Card

Recipe
6" x 6" base card
Duotone blue card - Penniesworth
Background paper - "Snowboarder Girl" from The Paper Shelter
Pierced Noble Rectangles - Sue Wilson
Icicle die - Joycrafts
Frosted Spruce & Frosted Pine dies - Memory Box
Sentiment stamp - Inkylicious

I added glitter to the background trees and Twinklets Diamond Dust to the die cut trees. I put some sellotape across the bottom of the stamp which allowed me to just stamp the word "Winter".  For the inside of the card I used the same background paper but faded it.  I then moved the sellotape so that it covered the word Winter and was then able to stamp the second part of the stamp for the insert.

This was such an easy card to make but I really like it.  It could also be used for a winter/Christmas  birthday I guess.  I had a friend whose birthday was Boxing Day and he rarely got birthday cards, which is such a shame.

Anyway that's all from me today.

Take care.

OSAAT Challenge # 243 Anything Goes with ... Sweet Treats

Good afternoon to you on my second day's post in a row.   It's time for another challenge at One Stitch At A Time and this time you need to make something that depicts "Sweet Treats".  I automatically thought sweets, chocolate, cakes - anything scrummy!   However, I could not find any food related images from my designer this time so I chose Sax Hamster from Sentimental Susan. I'm not a lover of these sort of creatures and I've never seen one up close so it was a bit of guess work when it came to colouring it. I decide to generate my own sentiment and make it fit the theme.  Well, lots of people find music sweet don't they!!!

My Card

Ingredients

6" x 6" pearlescent card made into easel card

Other cardstock - Bazill Basics

Seasonal Music e/f- DieSire Embossalicious

Music Melody stamp - Inkylicious

pearls from stash

I  realised after I had taken the picture that there is a pearl missing from the corner.  Since I actually glued them on and they never fall off I think I must have had a senior moment and forgot to add it!  But it's there now.

We would love you to join us in our challenge this time and I think it is a pretty easy theme so what are you waiting for?

Here is the winner's prize pack.

By the time this is published I will probably have spent a lot of money because I'm at the Great British Craft Festival at Stoneleigh, Kenilworth.  In fact I'm probably having lunch with Mrs Duck as we speak!!!

Take care and hope you are all well.
