My First Slimline Card

Hi everyone. Just a quick post from me today. Over the last few years I have tried many different card styles - different folds, different shapes, etc. I had never actually made a slimline card so I decided to give it a go.

This Lawn Fawn set (Ho-Ho-Holidays) is perfect to create a scene. I used the Mountain border dies and hillside border dies to create my background. I used a white-out pen to create the dots of snow. 

I coloured all my images with polychromo pencils, die cut them out, then assembled it all. 

I love this card but it felt like it took forever to make. I'm pretty used to my CAS style and sometimes only taking literally minutes to create something. But, there is something about colouring in that is relaxing :)

I would like to enter my card over at the following challenges -

CRAFT Challenge (Christmas), 12 Months of Christmas Link Up (Anything Goes), Merry Little Christmas Challenge (Anything Goes), Happy Little Stampers (Anything Goes with Dies), Happy Little Stampers (Christmas)

Thanks for popping in today :)

New Stash

Hi!

I am still on my mission to ink up stamps that haven't been used as yet. I've still got heaps to go but one step at a time :)

This cute set is by Lawn Fawn and called Ho-Ho-Holidays. I stamped a heap of images, coloured them with my polychromo pencils, then die cut them out. 

This is a stamp by Darkroom Door called Yuletide Vol 2. I love this Santa and just mounted the image on some pretty paper.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

It's the first Saturday of the month which means a new Penny Black Challenge!

Our theme is

ANYTHING GOES OR 'SPOTS AND/OR STRIPES'

I used a new to me die by Penny Black (which has been around 'forever'!). I don't know how I have lived without it!

I was totally inspired by Laurie's card HERE so I CASED it :)

I die cut the wreath twice - once with white card and once with gold mirror card. I layered everything together with a little glue and finished it off with some glitter dots (my spots for this challenge).

The sentiment is from a Penny Black set called 'Hometown Christmas'.

I would like to enter my card over at the following challenges -

Christmas Craft Creations (Use a Die Cut), The Holly and Ivy Challenge (Anything Christmas Goes), Try it on Tuesday (Die Cuts or Fussy Cut), Mix it Up Challenge Blog (Anything Goes

HLS June CAS Challenge

Hi there! It's time for a new Clean and Simple Challenge over at Happy Little Stampers!

Here is my card

I've used an image from the Katzelkraft set called Sherlock Holmes. I coloured this quirky character in with my polychromo pencils. The expression on his and the rabbit's face crack me up!
