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.

Woodware challenge - sketch 47

I've not quite followed the sketch challenge this week. I put my

sentiment on the panel instead!

I have used two stamps here, for the background I embossed the

fir branches from JGS414 deck the halls in gold.

Then over stamped with a green ink another of the fir branch stamps from the set.

The greeting comes from JGS404 Christmas cheer, this has also been embossed with gold.

To finish off add some gold berries with Liquid Pearls in dark chocolate.

Woodware challenge - Christmas animals

My theme for the Christmas animals challenge is a reindeer.

The stamps used are older designs from a couple of years ago.

Using stamp set JGS177. Embossed in gold.
The background stamp is JGS317.

The same stamp JGS177 but stamped onto shrink plastic, its so cute!
The greeting from JGS551.

Using stamp set JGS321. The background text
is from JGS319

Woodware challenge - flourishes

For my flourishes card I've used a peel off design of mine which has some flourishes.

I've used Sakura Stardust pens to colour in.

The Mirror Crack'd challenge - Wallhanging

This wallhanging/greeting card is made from a hand drawn heart shape

cut from a piece of card then covered in individual strips of patterned paper.

The heart is about 25cm across at the widest part.

Decorate the wallhanging with any stamped or die cut image.

Woodware challenge - Sketch 46

Here is the sketch....

My version for the sketch this week uses my Woodware stamp JGS419 We Three Kings.

The stamp set has already made an appearance a few weeks ago on the Woodware blog and this card matches the tags I made for that post.

The crowns are gold embossed, cut out and stuck to the card with silicone glue.

The liquid pearls in gold added a nice finishing touch
