At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is 'Traditional Christmas Colours'  I used this cute Snowman family from LOTV, I water coloured the image with Distress Inks then matched those colours to the same in Oxides to create a background paper.  I  then stamped snowflakes all over then heat embossed with white embossing powder.

Simply White

Well it's been a really wet week, and I really feel for those here in Yorkshire effected by floods, we've been so lucky.
So on this Saturday morning there's a new challenge at Allsorts.
This week is our lovely Brenda's turn to host and she would like to see 'White On White'

Ok so this is not my kind of challenge but then that's what it's all about challenging ourselves, It was so hard to refrain from putting any colour on, but once I got going and remembered last weeks card which I took the idea from for this one,I  just changed a few bits round, and it worked.

Christmas Baubles And Caroling

Welcome, it's a new month for Stamping Sensations and Penny black & More @ Allsorts challenges, if you didn't get the chance to join in last month's challenges these could be the ones for you.

At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is 'Traditional christmas Colours'  I used a Stamps By Chloe Card Making collection, Issue 4 Christmas for all my card except for the matting and layering card.  The baubles are stamped then embossed with gold embossing powder, the white base card is embossed then I added the colour baubles and glittered the tinsel.  Then bows I made by stamping them and embossing them then cutting them out.
