The Three Wise Men - La Pashe

Coming Soon

The Three Wise Men, bringing gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh.

This is one of the new sheets from La Pashe that will be in a shop near you From Monday 14th September.

Designed by myself and Artwork by Jim Harker

To check where your nearest stockist is visit the La Pashe website.

The back view of the Three Wise Men is equally as rich looking as the front, the sumptuous muted colours of their clothing with gold threads running throughout.

By adding a touch of glitter to these the whole card just pops.

Two Tone Damask

I Started with a white 14 x 14cm card and stamped the damask stamp by PTI over the base card leaving around 3cm clear at the base of the card, I then added the dotted paper punched with a Martha Stewart border punch the the bottom section and tied a matching ribbon to hide the join using the long rectangle Nesabilities Dies I cut out the scallop shape from contrasting card and cut a plain white shape and stamped the sentiment on top.

Attention to Detail...

The Damask Stamp was inked with the Brilliance Aurora ink pad I did it carefully pressing the edges of the pad onto the edges of the stamp and allowing the centre of the stamp to catch the middle colour on the ink pad.

Not even a Mouse

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

How cute please?

Another one of Mo Mannings digi stamps coloured with promarkers , stickles added to the teacup, base card was embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Folder.

Attention to detail...

I tied a couple of crystal bead strands into the know of the bow and dotted stickles glitter glue onto some of the raised dots.

Choir

I started this card with a red base card and layered 4 x 7x7cm squares of patterned papers on top of the base card, this left a 1/2 cm border on the card, I used the Choir digi stamp by talented artist ~ Mo Manning and coloured it with Promarkers and Copic Sketch Markers, stickles glitter glue was added to the singers tunics I edged the image with a gold marker and matted it onto the same red as the base card I edged this with the gold marker too.

I tied the gold ribbon around the card and tied with a knot, then added the image slightly off center on top of the ribbon.

The piece of patterned paper in the right bottom corner is a flocked paper, if anyone knows who makes it and/or where I could buy more I would be really grateful for the information.

Fred & Ginger

This is another digi stamp by the talented artist ~ Mo Manning coloured with Promarkers then layerd onto patterned paper with the edges distressed by sponging ink ont them.

I velvet flower and a satin ribbon to finish.

Up Up and Away....

This card was made with the Everyday Button Bits stamp set by Papertrey Ink

This card reminds me of my friend Pam who has been trying to arange a balloon flight for 2 years now but the weather has let her down each time.

So Pam if you are looking dreams really do come true so keep trying.

Eskimo Kisses

From the moment I found this Digi Stamp I knew I had to have it, Eskimo Kisses was something that played a big part in our family life, when my daughters were little these were given out in abundance.
I took this card to show Lauren now aged 22 and she grinned from ear to ear saying I used to love my Eskimo kisses.
This one is coloured with copic Sketch markers and will be entered into the Copic Creations Challenge the digi image is by talented artist ~ Mo Manning

The flower have been encrusted with crushed glass glitter as has the edges of the image to give that icy look to the card.

A little charm Brad added to the bottom of the image.

The Handbag - Digi Stamp

I figured that I couldn't make a shoe card without the perfect accessory so I set to work on making this handbag card.

This is another digi stamp from sketching stamper digi-stamps coloured with copic sketch markers then layered onto SU Paper.

A matching ribbon and a couple of buttons to finish.

Attention to Detail...

Stickles Diamond glitter glue was added to the clasp on the handbag to make it twinkle.
