Warm and cosy

Warm and cosy

A warm and cosy Christmas card.

I used an LOTV die cut and sentiment. This is the ultimate warm and cosy picture!!

I made the snowflake embellishment by punching two snowflakes on matching papers. I decorated it with glitter glue and added the gems.
I cut and offset the circles abd I embossed the top one with a swirl pattern and highlighted it with red distress ink.

The LOTV sentiment is ‘warmest thoughts and best wishes’. I used a MS punch on the horizontal paper.

It’s distressing!

It’s distressing!

First time using distressing today.

I used lavender and brick red distress inks on the edge of the LOTV die cut. I used textured paper and used the two distress inks on them. I ripped the edges of the smaller paper.

I couldn’t get a very good photo of the flowers I put together. They are made of two layers of petals which I highlighted with the distress inks and then pink glitter glue. I put them together with glossy accents and added a pearl embellishment to the middle.

In the red!

I thought I’d go for something a bit simpler today!

The paper was made using Craft Artist. The sentiment was a freebie and I added a couple of buttons from my stash. I added some red and white stickles to the LOTV die cut.

I used Craft Artist software to match the colours in the inspiration photo for the colour create challenge and then printed the papers.

I used a LOTV die cut and sentiment but recoloured to get a better match for the colours I wanted.

I used my snowflake punch again to cut snowflakes in shiny grey and glittery lilac paper. I then curled them slightly, layered them at an angle and stuck a lilac gem in the middle.
