If you're not under my tree...

...on Christmas Morning I'm going back to bed!!!

Hi Everyone

Hope you've all had a good week.

Who has started their Christmas cards yet?  Someone told me the other day they have finished theirs!!! Madness but perhaps I am just jealous not to be so organised?

So for this weeks blog post I have used two stamps from the Yuletide range and another from the Backdrops.

I took some Mint and Chocolate coloured cardstock adn stampeed the Bark Positive Backdrops on there in Walnute Stain Distress Ink.  Then inked the edges with the same using my Blending Foam.  I chopped this up into 3 pieces and layered it up onto the dark chocolate coloured card with just a small enough edge for it to make a lovely contrast. 

Doing the same with the  Fir Tree made a lovely way to top the card I stamped this in a slightly darker shade - Vintage Photo.

I had some spare cardstock so made the long Rosette Tail finish to place under the layered up Fir Tree.  Stamped out the Under My Tree (small) in the same colour and layered it too - and put it all together.  

I really like the simple effect of this one hope you do too.

Take Care

The Wonderful Wizard of OZ. Tinman ATC by Pauline

Good Afternoon Everyone, 

If you haven't seen them yet be sure to check out the gorgeous NEW  

Wonderful Wizard of Oz 

range of self cling polymer stamps from Bee Crafty.

This great range of stamps has ink drawing style images based on the original illustrations from the very first publication of the book.

There are framed card style images as well as individual characters and accompanying circle messages with quotes from the book.

Our DT have been hard at work and I would like to show you this gorgeous ATC made by Pauline

 This is a standard size ATC featuring the Tinman one of the Wizard of Oz story's most beloved character's, the background was created using Tim Holtz Distress Inks and the ground he is standing on is the Bark Positive Backdrop stamp, the gorgeous glittered arrows have been made using the Arrows Inkables template exclusive to Bee Crafty and the heart is from the Unbreakable Heart sentiment. As you can see Pauline has expertly coloured him in and cut and layered him up to give this ATC lots of texture and dimension,

What I love about this ATC is the same techniques could easily be applied to a card or Art Journaling Page.

Keep your eye on the blog for lots more samples coming from the DT and us.
