From Our Home to Yours

     A day late and a dollar short.... No not really. Sorry everyone I have been a bit under the weather and was not able to post my blog in time. On the Design Team for The Coffee Beans, I made a card using this Digi file from Rhoda Design Studio.  Used Stampin Blends in Dark Cherry Cobler, Dark Real Red, Dark and Light Shaded Spruce, Light Pink Pirouette, and Dark Mango Melody to color this cute little Santa.  Background was with Distress Oxide inks in Tumbled Glass, Broken China, and Mermaid Lagoon.  Santa's hat and beard have glitter on them because Salima has to have some bling on my projects.  I used white craft ink and Versamark to stamp snowflakes in the background. I then used Iridescent Embossing Powder to stamp the falling snow.  Sentiment is from Neat and Tangled set called Bright Baubles.  Hope you enjoyed this cute little card.

Hello Anne here with this cute little Reindeer from Rhoda Toynbee at Hello@lemonyfizz.com.

As always I had great fun with this Digital file which can be bought in Rhodas Etsy shop whos address is above. 

I decided to water colour the Reindeer  in 2 different browns . I gave him a bright red alcohol ink nose,  I covered his upper nose and chin with rusty patina from The Crafty Companio in Chesterfield and once that was dry I added a cover of cosmic shimmer. I also added a little "snow" to his head and antlers .

I coloured the northern pole in shimmer pencils from the spectrum noir crayon range. I then added a little sheer shimmer to give it a little twinkle.

The backing is a healthy coating of white rust patina with a generous amount cosmic shimmer diamond frost. I added the sky with Tim Holtz distress ink faded denim with a blending brush. 

I dobbed on a bit of snow and the north star. I then added Santa and the Reindeer using my Tim holtz stamp platform .

I added padded tape to the back of the pole and the Reindeer and stuck it to the background giving it a bit of dimension

I really hope you like what I have done here today it was a lot of fun. Thank you for dropping by xxx
