ABC Christmas reminder

 The current challenge at ABC Christmas is Y for Your favourite colours and Z for Zoo animals. This card is for Y for your favourite colours. The blue winter sky combined with the bright red berries is such a great effect and I love it.

I used a circle stencil to do the moon and used Stormy Sky and Blueprint Sketch distress inks to create the winter sky. The berry stamp is Lavinia, coloured with Candid Apple distress ink and I made snow using a white posca pen. And then I took out my precious silver glitter paper that I've just admired and loved for so long, held my breath and cut a piece for backing.

ABC Christmas - Y and Z

 It is time for the last challenge of this year at ABC Christmas. It is Y for Your favourite colours and Z for Zoo animals. 

I went for zoo animals in creating this card with stamped animals from Lili of the Valley and a brick stencil where I used grey and green acrylic paint. 

I'll return before Christmas with my take on the Y for Your favourite colour :)

Lavinia winter witches

 There is still a couple of days left to enter the current challenge at ABC Christmas where the theme is W for Watercolor and X for Xylophone (inspirational colors). 

I am posting a winter scene featuring the adorable witches from Lavinia stamps. I used black cardstock and made the moon with a circle stencil and white pan pastels.
