Morning Peeps, hope you had a good weekend.
The first of December also happens to be the first Monday this month so today is the start of a new challenge at FlonzCraft Vintage Stamping Challenges where our December theme is to base our work on a Christmas Carol or Song. I also have this weeks Nicecrane shares where I am sticking with Christmas again this week.
The first of December also happens to be the first Monday this month so today is the start of a new challenge at FlonzCraft Vintage Stamping Challenges where our December theme is to base our work on a Christmas Carol or Song. I also have this weeks Nicecrane shares where I am sticking with Christmas again this week.
This Winters scene from FlonzCraft called Birch Tree in Winter reminds me of cold and frosty days so 'In the bleak Midwinter' seemed appropriate and I have computer generated the first verse to add to my card. I used a mask to create a moon shining from behind the trees and coloured with Pan Pastels then added some fine crystal glitter.
As always there is a fabulous $20 voucher to spend in the store for the winner so I really hope you will join us this month, if you have never taken part before we would love to welcome you over at the challenge blog.
The image on this one is from the Antique Christmas collection, he's such a sweet little lad feeding the birds which I have decided are Great Tit's of which we have an abundance in the gardens. More G45 DP, a Spellbinder border die and some wooden numbers and a computer generated 'December'.
Have a good week everyone.
I have gone with a traditional feel to both of my Nicecrane cards, the one at the top uses an image from the Vintage Merry Christmas design set which has six different images, prefect to help you get those last minute cards made. The DP is Graphic 45, a spellbinder Poinsettia, ivy and some lace.
Have a good week everyone.
Beautiful cards Brenda, gorgeous styles and lovely images used along with gorgeous colour combos.

A stunning collection of cards Brenda. I especially love the first one. I have fond memories of singing 'In the Bleak Mid Winter' in the school choir, it has always been one of my favourites.

Beautiful cards Brenda I love to look at your amazing design work. Brenda I have just read your comment on my blog, I have been having the same problems, some blogs I visit I can see the photos, sometimes it takes an absolute age for some to load and other times I can see nothing, seems blogger is causing us all a few problems.
