Poinsettia Magic

Evening Everyone
I hope that you have been having a fabulous weekend.
Mine started with a wonderful surprise when I found out that I had won the challenge over at Craftyhazelnuts Christmas Challenges. 
It just goes to show that it is never too late to enter a challenge since I got my entry in 30mins before the deadline.
I have had a very productive day on the Christmas card front, I think I have managed to finish seven cards, not bad hey!!
I have been playing with this lovely Woodware Christmas stamp set FRCL217 Poinsettia Magic, and this is just one of the cards that I have made using it.

I used a a Colourbox Q pigment ink stack, also available from Woodware, to ink the flower and leaf stamps to create the panel on white card.

The greeting has been stamped using Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

I took my inspiration for this card from the sketch that I found over at Freshly Made Sketches.

I cut out the panel using Nestie Labels One and added Vintage Gold Pearlex powder to the Versamark stamped flowers on the Kraft coloured card.
I would also like to enter this in to the Anything Goes Christmas challenge over at Sparkles Christmas Challenges and also Craftyhazelnuts Christmas Challenge Extra.
Better stop for tonight. I might just cut out a few more flowers though while I'm watching TV, I'm on a bit of a roll at the moment.
Back tomorrow.
Hugs Kimx

Some Christmas Sparkle

Evening everyone
Boy what a day this has been, I seem to be back working with children - or maybe it just feels like the Grandchildren would make a better job of it than the people I am currently working with!!!!!
Anyway enough moaning, it is the start of a few days off for me, and I intend to craft 24-7.
I am going to take a couple of short breaks, one to teach at Davina's on Saturday, and also to support her Macmillan Tea Party tomorrow.
I thought that I would take a long a couple of prizes and also some cake, M & S I'm afraid, no time to bake too much crafting to do lol.
I have several DT projects all due at a similar time so hopefully these few days will see me get on top of them.

This card was made to enter into the challenge over at Sparkles Christmas Challenge where they are looking for Sparkle and Bling.

Crystal Embossing powder over the main image gives plenty of sparkle as does the lovely Frantage Shabby White Embossing Enamel on the swirls.
Better get some sleep now so that I can get down to the business of serious crafting tomorrow, and of course some cake :O)
hugs Kimx
