City Crafter Week 240

Good Morning ...

This week at City Crafter we have the lovely Stella hosting the challenge and the them is 

A Wreath For This Season

Source

Stella is asking that we create a card or project that includes a wreath and a touch of silver. The silver can be in in the form of sequins, tinsel, embossing ... anything as long as there is silver on your project 

I don't have a wreath stamp so I improvised using a normal straight stamp and a circle cut from CS ... I lay the circle down with temporary adhesive and I just kept aligning my stamp to the outer edge of the circle to make a wreath 

As you can see I used Liquid Pearls as my "Silver" and also some silver stars

The BG for my wreath was done by inking up a large holly BG stamp in a few different inks then spritzing with water

Our GD this week is Kama ... winner of week 235 ... Please hop over to her Blog and be inspired by  her beautiful creations!

Don't forget to hop over to the City Crafter Blog too and see what Kama and our team have come up with this week to inspire you 

I hope you'll play along with our challenge 

For the first time since City Crafter Challenge started - almost 5 years ago, we will be taking a 2 week break for Christmas so there are only 2 more challenges after this one

Have a lovely day ... Be safe

Shine

Hello!

Did you have a good weekend?

I've another Christmas card to share today which I am linking up to the Monday Challenge over at Simon Says Stamp

This one features a background made using TextureZ embossing paste in Patina and a Memory Box stencil 

The stencil made me think of a starburst and in my head I was thinking of the bright star over the little town of Bethlehem

I die cut a stitched star (Lil'Inkers) and used the Memory Box Country Landscape die for the town - You can see after die cutting the landscape I then cut it into 2 pieces and layered one over the other to give some dimension to the little town

Of course being me I had to add a dusting of glitter to the die cuts 

Wishing you all a lovely day and many thanks for stopping by

Inside

Good morning!

At Our Beautiful World the new prompt for the week has been chosen for us by the lovely Wendy

The word is 

"Inside"

What could she mean I thought ... Inside whilst another is outside?

Or perhaps it just means Inside like in your own basket

... Or your own box

Maybe it's Inside my home

Or perhaps Inside the Palm House in Liverpool?

How about Inside a shop full to the brim of knick knacks in Spain?

Oooh! it could be Inside the Rock of Gibraltar

Or the Liverpool Eye...

... even a flower!

What do you think? 

Why not share your

"Inside"

Photos with us at Our Beautiful World this week

We'd love to see them

Hugs

Anything Goes

Hello... How are you? 

Survive the manic rush of Black Friday?

It's something that has now taken off in the UK and when I heard on the news about the fights ... Ambulances being called etc., I thought it better to stay home!

As I was finishing up the project for my group on Thursday ... my DH came in and told me it was my friend Pat's husband's birthday... I had no idea ... she sure kept that quiet! So I had a quick card to make ... 

I keep a little container on my desk that I keep bit's and pieces like die cuts I didn't use and it comes in handy I can tell you... This is how my card evolved

The circle and stars were in that box so I cut some DP using the wavy borders and splattered the whole card with Tim Holtz distress paint in Pewter.. Voila!

I'm linking this up over at 

Just Us Girls

Where there is an "Anything Goes" challenge

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend 

Till soon

Sparkle

Hello and to all my friends over in the USA

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I hope you have a wonderful day with family and loved ones

I have another shaker card to share today ... 

I cut that tree on my Cameo and I'm using my new dies here too 

Once again mixing my glitter with sequins ... 

The Sparkle (PTI die) I cut from some left over card stock I had stamped for another project

I just love making these ... 

I'm linking up over at Simon Says Stamp Work it Wednesday

Thanks so much for looking in

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Hello there ...

I've another Christmas card to share ... this time a little glitter filled shaker card

The image was stamped and embossed (using black glitter EB powder) onto acetate first - actually it took me a few goes as the acetate tends to slip when being stamped and this little stamp was quite finely detailed so you can't really press too hard

Behind the acetate is a small left over piece of Melissa Frances paper and a glittery moon

The washi tape on the bottom of the card is by Teresa Collins - the sentiment is computer generated and the snow is made using Snow Writer by DecoArt

I need to finish the Thursday Group project today ... I have little Christmas tea light houses for them to make and Pat is preparing Christmas wreaths for them to make too.

Have a lovely day
