Skater

   For this Christmas card I made a twisted easel. The background paper for the front of the card was printed using Hobbycraft's Christmas 2016 Tattered Lace Magazine CD ROM and matted onto black card. The base of the easel was pearlescent card also matted onto black card.
   The lettering on the base which forms the stop for the easel is made up off several layers of pearlescent card snipped and reformed from Tattered Lace's 2016 snowglobe die cut. - 2016 seems to be in favour today!
   The digi image coloured using Promarkers and fussy cut is from Scapper's Delights and is called Chibis-skater. I positioned it so that it looked as if the girl had skated the sentiment in the ice.

Mother and baby

   The digi image of the elephant is available from Scrapper's Delights if you wish to take part in their facebook progressive challenge. I did them as two different sizes to create a mother and baby elephant and then coloured them using Promarkers. After cutting out I dusted the edges with Distress Ink and then matted it onto teal card and added a card candi to each corner.

Rainy days

   This image from Scrapper's Delights is called rainy days. I coloured it using Promarkers, adding silver gel pen to the umbrella. After cutting it out using the Tattered Lace Oval die I added Glossy Accents to the puddle and used Liquid Pearls to make raindrops. Using the same die I cut into some cloud design paper and then slotted the image into the aperture. I then matted and layered this onto core'dinations cardstock and white card. The umbrella was made using a Tattered Lace parasol die and the off cuts from this were used to make the bow. I used a peel off for the sentiment.

Birthday wishes

   As a change from square or rectangular cards I have tried my hand at making an oval card by placing an oval die over the folded edge.
   The image called Honey Anime 2 from Scrapper's Delight was coloured using Promarkers. Using oval dies I cut it out and matted and layered it onto two sheets of design paper from THe English Paper Company's Siesta Collection, dark blue core'dinations cardstock and white card. I then found that the card would not stay upright (I should have realised that!) so I attached a rectangular strip to the base of the card front and used this for my peel off wishes. Finally I added two card candi to this strip.

Let's Party

   I used three different textured papers (orange mulberry, paler  crinkled and white lacy) which I have had in my stash for several years cutting them to different widths and layering them onto white card. i then attached black peel off strips to the borders. The digi image called Honey Anime 4 is from Scrapper's Delights and after colouring using Promarkers I fussy cut it and attached it to the card using glue gel. The letters for the sentiment were cut from black card using Tattered Lace's elegant alphabet set.

Just a note

   The image for this fortnight's progressive challenge on Scrapper's Delights facebook page is Pixie-Pan. As it is autumn I decided to put him in an autumnal setting and printed a page using one of My Craft Studio's CD ROMs. After matting it onto white card I edged it using strips of gold peel offs.
   i used Tattered Lace dies for the lettering (elegant alphabet) and the embellishment (musical notes). These and the digi image were coloured using Promarkers. I added Glossy Accents to the music notes.

The main attraction

   Scrapper's Delights have many lovely digi images and once a fortnight they hold a Friday Freebie progressive challenge on facebook. This time the freebie is a set of sentiments.
   I created the background on the computer and after printing it matted and layered it onto black and then white card. The central image is a combination of two images from Scrapper's Delights - Circus Pony Bethany and Circus-Tipsy-Turvy. I coloured both using Promarkers and fussy cut them. The later I then cut into three pieces and arranged on the pony so that she appeared to be riding it. I matted the combination onto black card  and cut round it leaving a narrow margin.
   I cut a star from black card and attached this to the left hand top corner of the card. Across this I glued a sentiment from Scrapper's Delight having first coloured it using Promarkers.
