Harry's christmas card for mummy



Helped my grandson Harry who is 3 1/2 make a card for mummy. It is his first ever card. I cut the papers for him and put the double sided tape on for him and he decided what he wanted on the card and where. He colored the image with his crayons. We started off following a sketch from trimmies craft site but he added some other bits too it. He saw me enter a card on scheduled and wanted his card on as well

For Emily

I have made this card today for my son to give his niece Emily. The image is called christmas image A4 from the Bestie range by Sherri Baldy. I have colored with Graphit markers which i won on their site, its the first time i have used them and i love the very fine nibs on them and the vibrant colors, i don't have that many at the moment but had hoped santa would fetch some but my hubby and sons have all bought me dies so you can't have it all ways. I'll have just to wait a bit longer. The sparkle on her hat and muff is a graphit sparkle marker which came with the last lot of pens i was fortunate to win its gorgeous. The backing papers are from kanban. The fence is a tilda die. The flowers are all from hobbycraft. The glitter trees i bought from ebay so not sure which die they are from. I wrote the sentiment out on the computer. The snow is Aleen's true snow and a little bell to finish off on the reindeer.

dt post for just inspirational challenges

This weeks challenge is sponsored by Paper shelter, and the theme is rosettes. I'm afraid i am running late with this posting due to 3 hospital appointments this week and one being an 8 hour day.

This card my son actually wanted for a friend of his who is a total rock chick. The backing paper came with the image, but i colored the image with promarkers as he wanted a lot of violet and pink in it as they are her colors. The pink card at the back i ran through the dottie embossing folder in my mums embossing machine which is the next one up from my big shot. I made the rosette from a sheet of the purple backing paper and then added a few silver musical notes about.
