A Gift for Christmas

Hello & I hope that you are well!

Here in Sydney we have been experiencing some hot weather with storms in the afternoon. This humid weather has created some problems like getting home on Wednesday and finding that the telephone and internet are out.  

It is now Sunday and still not working maybe it will be back up and running by Wednesday of this week when the technician gets to home.  In the meantime it is lucky that Mum and Dad are not far away so I can do some posting.

But anyway let me tell you what we are doing at Come and Get It for the next few weeks.

At Come And Get It for the next few weeks we are creating Christmas Projects and Cards using our Sponsor's images.

So for my first project I have used a sweet image from Bugaboo called "Christmas Mouse Ornament" and cut the image out with a die and layered it on some Silver Glimmer Paper.

I created a cover for a bottle wine using some Bo Bunny paper and also where the join is on the back of the bottle I have added some Snowflakes by using the Martha Stewart "Winter Snow" Punch - (I will add photos soon).

The cover can be slipped off and reused of placed on the Christmas Table.

Supplies:
Stamp: Bugaboo "Christmas Mouse- Ornament", Festive of Trees Stamp Set

The little mouse has been coloured in with Copic Markers and the sentiment reads "A Merry Little Wish..." and is from the Festival of Trees Stamp Set.

The copic colours used are;

Body and Ears: C5, 3, 2,1,0, 00, R0000, 30, 00
Hat: R0000, 29, 27, 24

Hello – just a quick post to let you know about our new challenge over at Crafty Creations.

 

For the next two weeks our theme is:

 

Embossing

The lovely paper I used was given to me by a friend a few weeks ago and it seem perfect for this image. I have used both sides of the paper on the card.  Blackberry Bliss is a very deep colour but I think helped lift the darker flowers in the paper.

Here is a closer look:

I added some random liquid pearls on the right side of the swirls on the paper, unfortunately they cannot be seen in this picture but they added a little bit more texture to the card.

 

I just love the stamp from the That’s the Ticket Stampin Up stamp set, it reads 100% Perfect Precious Baby.
