Black and White Christmas Tree

I managed to get a card put together that I started on Monday night, stamped in black versafine then jewels added here and there the snowflakes are a kuretake punch, ribbon from Papertrey Ink and some matting a layering.

Such Sad News

Early hours of this morning my Niece Kimberley rushed her baby to hospital, Baby Layton John 15 months old now sleeps peacefully in heaven.

Our family is devastated that such a lively little soul has gone.

Build a Poppy Card - Poppy Appeal

I wanted to highlight a stamp set that is a good price yet still donating £1 to the Poppy Appeal for every set purchased, the Papermania Signature Build a Poppy stamp set is retailing at around £5.99 at many stamp shops.

The poppy was very easy to put together, I stamped with black ink onto read card stock then cut around the images 4 to each poppy then joined them together with a black brad, the brad is hidden as I dotted the center with black stickles. I used the Nestabilities circles to mount the poppy onto and a white base card was stamped at each corner with the sentiment. I finished the card with a black velvet ribbon and bow.

A close up photograph of the Poppy, I dotted the centre with Black diamond stickles and used a deep red promarker to give some depth to the flower.

Christmas Tree Orniment from Nestabilities

On playing making the Tree card with the Nestabilities scalloped circle see here for tutorial, I had another play on Sunday, this time leaving the circles whole apart from cutting away 2 of the scallops in a pie piece so that when I joined the piece back together it would form a shallow cone.

the tree trunk is a wooden meat skewer coloured with a gold marker and the pot once had Jam Preserve inside, I added a layer of glue to the outer side of the jar and rolled it in the glass glitter

I am a Tuesday child and so the saying goes Tuesdays child is full of grace, Mmmm somehow I think the Aries in me over rules that.
