Howling Happy Birthday


Oh dear  most of my stamps have been removed from wood block without keeping the maker and name
That is the case with these wolves
The background is glimmering mist  and I added washi tape on the side
The grasses are die cut and a ribbon adhered to the bottom is the finishing touch

LCC 119 Winter



                                                  Well after all it is November should be winter
                                                 So the Challenge At LCC  this month is WINTER
                                               I stamped  nit much coloring  I used chalk on the sky
                                               The snow is Enamel Accents which I love using
        
                                                             The next card is a mystery
                                             It is my habit to make a list of the challenges in my book 
                     When I got to November  I made a Summer card  ( I swear that is what was posted)
                                            When I went to schedule it it had changed to Winter
                    Not wanting to waste this pretty card  I will own up to my mistake and let you see it



Go over and see the other DT you never know what you will find

UNICORN CHALLENGE 11


This challenge is Snowflakes
I used an Anna Griffin folder
I put Versamark over the folder and ran it through with cardstock
I then applied Gold EP and heat set
I hope you enjoy the MERRY CHRISTMAS 
 it is vellum and the last time I will die cut vellum
I tried with  a paper layer , everything stuck in the die
I tried with plastic bag , it broke in many pieces trying to remove it from die
Finally dryer sheet was relatively helpful
Then to get it adhered well you don't want to hear the language that goes with that
Just enjoy it

Her work is exquisite

This card was a total surprise and made my day

CRC 27 Pretty Pink





No she didn't scribble on the wall.
This card was inspired by the lower part of the back ground it is marbles
I use a sandwich clear box  tape the glossy card stock to the inside of the cover
Drizzle alcohol ink in the box and spritz with water 
Put the cover on and shake shake shake
Of course you could go with more than one color
My darling image is My Bestie colored with Spectrum Noir
