🎄ABC Christmas - N and O

 This month at ABC Christmas Fabiola has set the theme to N for No stamping or O for Off the edge.

I made a gift tag using a stencil and some gold acrylic paint and decorated it with a circle topper surrounded by some die cut lace. No stamping in sight 👀

🎄 ABC Christmas - L 🕯️ and M 🎵

ABC Christmas - C and D

 Hi all, it's my turn to present the February challenge, running from today until Saturday the 9th of March. The theme is:

'C is for Cats'

&

'D is for Dogs'

And a lucky winner will get a $10 gift card to one of my favourite digistamp shops: 

My card today is a Lili of the Valley-stamp, coloured with distress inks and cut with a "torn paper" die.

I know it's Valentine's Day today but I'm sticking to Christmas creations, maybe I'll pop by later with something hearty - who knows 💕

ABC Christmas - A and B

 I'm a day late with my first post of the year for ABC Christmas, not exactly starting on top, but I'll blame the fact that it was my birthday yesterday so I had lots on my plate.

So, we have A for Anything Christmas and B for Berries.

I used a Stamping bella image and wintery watercolours for Anything Christmas.

And a mistletoe wreath with lots of sparkling berries.

Helen, our host, is offering this great prize for a lucky winner.

As you like it - favourite paper. My favourite paper is the silver backing paper that is actually a Christmas wrapping paper, it's sooo sparkly and still soft and easy to use and glue on. 

ABC Christmas - Y and Z

 Not the easiest letters to end the year with, but we came up with Y for Your choice and Z for Zebra (or black and white) at ABC Christmas. 

For Y as Your choice I made a winter scene, using a small circle stencil for the moon, a large circle stencil for the scene and some paper strips for the mountains. The deer and trees are die cut. 

For Z as Zebra or black and white I used a stencil for the moon and distressed the card with Black Soot and added a forest stamp and a sentiment.
