Winter Wonderland DT Card - Jesus Is the Reason for the Season

Good morning to you all out there in the land of blog

I am sure you can guess by now that it is nearly the weekend and that means it is another fabulous Winter Wonderland Challenge, but we cannot move on with out saying how stunning last weeks entries were, wow you are such a talented lot and I really enjoy popping to see each and everyone of you and leaving you a little love.

This week the very talented Danielle has set and is hosting the challenge and she has chosen the theme of

JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON

I would have struggled with this a little I think and luckily we are sponsored by

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More is proud to sponsor this challenge.

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More, a division of I Did It Creations, was created and is owned by Robyn Weinrib. Robyn offers a wonderful variety of digital stamps and digital papers,designed to meet the needs of all digital paper crafting addicts for every occasion.

Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps And More is happy to offer the winner of this challenge 5 digital stamps or digital paper sets of their choice.

Each of the DT were offered the option of using one of these lovely images and although I did not spot one that met our challenge Danielle did, so she helped me to get my direction.  So here is what I created for my DT piece this week.

 This has a base layer of green mirror card and the Dovecraft papers on top, I then created a mini card and placed this on top after putting the ribbon behind to make the closure (I would not want it flying open)  The snowflakes on top, now I don't know if you remember back a few posts when the very talented Sam from Sam's blog had sent me via snail mail a gorgeous creation with some 3D snowflakes on it, well thank you Sam loved them and decided to borrow the idea.  I think they work so well, they are nestie snowflakes and you sit two together one is folded in half and lifted for the effect.  They were obviously glittered heavily too.  I added three little punched out green snowflakes and placed a clear diamante in the centre of each.

This is the mini card opened up, so you can see the Nellie framed Robyn's Fetish image, coloured with copics.

 Here is a close up of the image

 As you know the WW Teamies and I love to combo our creations so here are the challenges I am entering this card into

I am getting all Sentimental over you.......................................

Good morning to you all out there in the land of blog

It is Friday, almost the weekend, and time for another fabulous challenge over at Winter Wonderland, where our very talented Marianne, has set the challenge of 

A recipe - Marianne would like to see 4 papers, 3 snowflakes and 1 snowman

and as our Sponsor this week is 

the Design Team have been given some lovely digital Robyn's Fetish images to use.  I really like this one and I have used it before but think it just says it all for this card.

But before I show you what I have created for this weeks Design Team Inspiration slot, I wanted to thank all those lovely people who created such stunning creations for my challenge last week, I again managed to get around to all of you and enjoyed seeing what you all wanted for Xmas.

So this week I have created an easel card, but used a sentiment as the centre piece, here it is

The papers are from my recent top up shop at the Hobby House, I love these papers and find they co ordinate so well.  The inspiration for this card came from the sketch at Sketch Saturday

 So the image location has been changed to the main sentiment the little story of the melting snowman who leaves his hat behind, I flipped the sketch left to right and added the small hat in place of the sentiment, it just fitted so well with the end of the sentiment.  

I used one of my MS edge punches and used a large cuttle bug die for the big snowflake and then a Marianne creatable for the middle snowflake. This was created from some dotty velum and then the tiny silver snowflake from a punch.  The brad was originally a clear diamante one from the Hobby House, which I have coloured with copics as was the velum. The snowflake silver charm again from the Hobby House and hung from behind the snowflake brad.  The sentiment has a colour effect on it, I used a sponge and one of my Big Juicy pads. Silver foil thin card, was the base contrast colour.

This is a close up of the inked sentiment along with the little red hat.  The glitter you can see is added by using a slightly larger finger lift tape and the ribbon running down the middle of it, then when you add the glitter it sticks to the very thin edge either side of the ribbon. 

This is the inner return with the Robyn's Fetish image of the Melting Snowman, with another sentiment to assure us he will be back next year.  I added little diamante to the MS edge punch on the inner return and on the top one the turquoise diamante both of these were from the Hobby House. I added a little bow using the Capsule Range collection with another little diamante in its centre.  The image was coloured with the preferred media of copics.

Here is a close up of the frosted die cut snowflake with the velum snowflake coloured on top, with the centre silver snowflake and the very large coloured diamante brad.  The Snowflake charm hanging down on it's little chain.  

Please see the link above for where I shop if you are interested in anything I have mentioned.

I really like this one, ooops yet another favorite I think.
