Black and White Christmas

 I think that this stamp of Jane's is perfect for black and white, or red and white or any other colour you fancy really!

Meet Little Christmas Bird a Clear Magic stamp designed by Jane Gill.

I have stamped and embossed with the Stampendous Winter Wonderland powder, it is a lovely white powder with silver glitter in it. I have stamped on the black Textura card which you can see on this solid stamp, then punched him out.

For the background I have used the new Holly Scrolls metal stencil designed by Fran of Stampendous, I have pressure embossed with my Sizzix machine on black and white Textura card.

I have added Winer Wonderland embossing powder to the black, and punched the corners with the Woodware inverted corner punch. The ribbon is the black gingham

for the greeting which come with the Little Bird set I have embossed the white circle.

I like the way that I have layered it with the ribbon, the same as the background.

The gingham bow adds a finishing touch.

Snowflake Flower Sketch

What about this take on the sketch

here is a reminder of the sketch

I rather like this one.

The main image is a Clear Magic stamp designed by Jane Gill Snowflake Flower. I have stamped with a Watermark Pad and embossed with silver powder. I made the card by folding an A4 sheet in half and the cutting it into a square, o it is slightly smaller than 6 x 6. I Often make my square card this way and I had the spare for my extra bits of stamping.

Then I stamped around the card with dye ink I have used the Sky ink from the ColorBox range for Stephanie Barnard.

then I inked around the edge with the same ink pad and a stencil brush. I have hight lighted the centre of some of the snowflakes with the White Pearl from the Dutch Doobadoo Pearl Pen range, these pens are so easy to use the impress me everytime!

The Happy Christmas and the other stamps come from the Francoise Collection Santa Post Elements.

sorry this is a bit blurred. The paper is from one of the Perfect Prints 6 x 6 pads. For the darker stamping I have used my Crafters ink in Wave.

If you have good eye sight you will be able to read Francoise's words about Christmas, I think that she has thought of everything!

I have if course used my Tag Top punch this is the scalloped shoulders. The 15mm organza ribbon is the white with silver dots.

then add the circle greeting.

Another Sketch Idea

Today we have Kim's take on the sketch

Here is a reminder of the sketch

Kim has used Jane's Clear Magic Calendula Bloom.

Kim has stamped in brown and embossed with clear powder, on the wonderful Woodware Mixed Media Card. Kim has then inked the background and the flowers with dye ink and a piece of cut 'n' dry

the greeting comes from the same stamp set. Kim has then stamped the flower again and dye cut the circle and a larger circle from brown card.

I love the way that Kim has got the watery background on the card, and the vellum strip that she has added to the card.

Why not pop over to see what Kim has to say about her card?

Traditional Christmas Trees

Or why not wrap over? Jane the Flower Girl has done just that with the Tag Top punch.

Jane has stamped her Traditional Christmas Tree on three tags. They have then be edged and scored them to make them different sizes. I like the way that Jane has stamped the centre tree to the side to make room for the greeting.

Here you can see what Jane has used. She has also added a greeting under the one of the tags.

For her inking and stamping Jane has used the Graphic 45 dye ink from ColorBox.

A great card from Jane the Flower Girl.
