Winter Cards



Good morning everyone, I hope you had a nice weekend. I was at the Crafting at Ally Pally event at Alexandra Palace yesterday & had a lovely time. Apologies for there not being a blog post from me for the last few weeks, the time just got away from me. For this week's post I used Hobby Art's
Poles Apart & Winter's Snowflakes stamp sets with Distress Inks.

When I began making my samples for the September classes I wasn't ready to make Christmas cards, so I made three which would work for winter birthdays.

This one uses the Winter Snowflakes, stamped with Seedless Preserves, Wilted Violet & Shaded Lilac Distress inks. I added some gold stamping & used a stamp from the Woodware
Hand Drawn Sentiments set................


The Winter's Snowflakes again, stamped with blue Distress inks & gold ink. I used another Hand Drawn Sentiment stamp & added the cute penguin from Hobby Art's Poles Apart set...........


For card number three I painted the Emperor penguins with Weathered Wood & Stormy Sky Distress inks. I made a simple background with more gold & Distress inks & added white gesso through the That's Crafty Bubbles Dinky Stencil & a Hand Drawn Sentiment stamp, stamped with embossing ink & heat set with WOW! Gold Rich embossing powder...............

  3. Love these cards Kirsten, and love that you have used the animals not just for Christmas cards. Colours work great just using a few on one card xx
