Woodware challenge - Zentangle with stenicils

This is my favourite Dreamweaver stencil designed by Lynell Harlow. It's code is LG743.
I've added pencil shading to the Zentangle to give the image some depth. 
The hand drawn border holds it all together on this white card and it's finished off with a hand draw birthday greeting. Hand lettering is nice to use with Zentangle.

Woodware challenge - Christmas decoupage

Using my Woodware stamp JGS316 Christmas quilt, stamp once onto a
blue card then several times more onto different patterned paper.

Cut out each image and remount on top of the blue card.
My pieces of paper are flat but you could 3D them.

Add some glitter glue and liquid pearls for a festive finish.

Woodware challenge - White embossing

My card this week features my Woodware stamp JGS169 Christmas date.

I have stamped it twice onto plain card and cut out the holly and
number 25 from one of them.
The holly is coloured and shaped before using silicone glue to attach it
to the prepared background.
The numbers have been covered in watermark ink and sprinkled
with Stampendous shabby white embossing enamel then stuck back over the stamped piece.
I have punched some extra berries, shaped them and stuck them to the holly.

Woodware challenge - Christmas punches or dies

There's something so easy and quick about picking up a punch and creating
a fabulous shape, no machines to set up or plug in!
My card today is a collection of Woodware punches to create a
Scandinavian style Christmas card.
When creating something like this and if you are using a one sided textured card,
remember to turn the card over in the punch so you get a 'mirror' image.
Edging each piece with a mini pigment ink pad helps each shape to
stand out from the plain background.
