BOTTLED CANDY!

 Good Morning! What a weekend. Bad enough Friday/Saturday with the winds. Yesterday  I went to my friends for the day and it started with what was a small furry then it really took over. Luckily my Son was going to a football match and when he got there it was cancelled, he picked me up and brought me home! The car? Left behind,  no way was I  driving home...Thank goodness for 4 wheel drives. 



I've used a Whimsy Stamp Mason Jar for this card, along with Stampendous Stamps. The little guy with the cane and the sentiment came from a new set called HM Holiday Happy. Canes in the bottle is a stamp from the Christmas Fireplace collection masked and stamped numerous time. All coloured with Copics and a tad of pencil round his fur. Snowflakes Lawn Fawn die cut onto Double Sided Adhesive so no glue required.

AN~ICE CHRISTMAS!

Morning! We've had very strong winds and snow overnight. I've a panel blown out in the garden and a bush down, but, thankfully nothing else. Snow has meant the Motorway is at a standstill. Our surrounding villages are without electricity until at least 5.00pm so I count myself as lucky.  



A new stamp from Stampendous! 'Cling Ornament Sled'. Such a sweetie.                                              Dark sky paper from stash, this little guy can't be skiing in daylight! Coloured with Copics. Lots of torn paper for snow! Marieanne trees and the little Snowflakes with a pearl in are Lawn Fawn plus Memory Box houses.   Sentiment stamp also Stampendous, but, from another new set lol.

BIRTHDAY WISHES

Good Morning! Time to play today, just fitting a Birthday card in before I get back to Christmas cards lol. Think we've all got our foot to the ground with regards Christmas, never ever seem to make enough.


 
This is a Tiddyinks stamp. Think it must have been a freebie from a Magazine, found it in the drawer yesterday {along with other I'd forgotten about} so she's having an airing. Colours with Copics. Gelly Roll pen spots on her ribbon along with the dogs. I've used a stencil from Lavinia for the background. The flowers are Spellbinder I think using Distress Ink for colours. Magnolia and Crafts~Too dies also used.
Computer sentiment edged with Distress Ink.
