3 in 1


Hi everybody
Hope you have had a lovely weekend. I went to a Copic workshop yesterday run by Stamps & Memories of Kintbury, met a lovely bunch of like-minded crafters. We had some fun and learnt a lot from Karen and Wendy. Thank you ladies. Now I have to decide whether I am going to invest in Copics. My guess is that I will eventually.

So on to the challenges I am entering this card into.
Dutch Dare Challenge - Christmas in August
Winter Wonderland - the theme is By Candle light
Simon Says Stamp Challenge - and the theme is ......... Christmas in August!

The image is Willow with Lantern, and is coloured with Prisma pencils. I have used various backing papers from my stash, including two from the Figgy Pudding range from last year. The snowflakes are cut out with a Martha Stewart punch, and covered in Diamond Dust. However the twinkle does not show up in the photo. The flourishes are punched with a Paper Shaper punch.

Recipe:
Stamps - Whiff of Joy, Stampin' Up
Papers - Basic Grey and from stash
Punches from the Hobby House

Thanks for stopping by.

  2. This is a beautiful card Val. I adore the colours and Whiff of Joy are my favourite 'cute & pretty' stamps. You have done this one justice with your lovely colouring of the image.

  13. Hi Val. I've just been catching up with what you've been up to while I've been on holiday and haven't been disappointed, your cards are simply beautiful.
    I know what you mean about Christmas in August, it seems to have affected a lot of crafters!!! I love your Willow card though, she is beautifully coloured and the papers compliment her beautifully.
    Have a great weekend.
