Christmas Stocking

Morning peeps

I don't know why everyone moans that Sundays are hard work, I can't understand that we take a lot of money over a short period of time, but we don't have any deliveries to deal with and there is hardly any stock left in the warehouse to work, I thought it was a lot less stressful.


Anyway, I sat down and made two cards last night, the first one is a Christmas card.  The digital stamp is called Kitten In A Stocking from Aurora Wings and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock
Grey card stock
Patterned papers

Crafters Companion Die'sire Scallop Loop Edge die
Crafters Companion Die'sire Poinsettia die set

Lilac Thanks

Evening peeps

What a nightmare of a day for my dad yesterday.  He was on his way home when he smoke coming out of the engine so he took the next junction off to check it out.  He only got halfway up the slip road when the card burst into flames.  There is nothing left inside, no dashboard, no seats, even the windows have melted.  The worst is that he had only just paid out to get it through the MOT the day before.

Image may contain: car and outdoor

It's a good job he didn't have the dog with him, he normally takes the dog everywhere, and the important thing is that no one was hurt.


Anyway, I made today's card early this morning before I went to work.  The digital stamp is called Dark Lilies from Ching-Chou Kuik and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock
Purple Centura Pearl card stock
Silver card stock
Patterned Papers
M & C Boutique Stitched Squares die set
Crealies Crea-Nest-Lies XXL No. 23 die set
Crealies Set Of 3 Flowers No. 23 die set
