to Layer or not to Layer?

Hello!! A DT card to share today for

As You Like It Challenge

where the theme this fortnight is to showcase your projects showing one or more layers...don't forget to tell us why!!

It's layers for me as I have a lifetime's worth of paper pads to use up!!

I started with a flat layer of LOTV backing paper (retired but available here in digi form) then mounted the frame on dimensional tape (layer 2), the darling little digi stamp Jillian is a freebie from Wee Stamps was coloured with Promarkers and made layer 3. Finally the Taylored Expressions "happy" was die cut twice and layered up making...well...lots of layers in my book!!

Some challenges

I Love Promarkers #301 - Anything Goes
Inky Impressions #282 - All about the borders
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - Anything Goes

Looking forward to seeing you there!!

A very sparkly Christmas

When I've had the chance I have been rummaging through my old digi stamps and came upon a folder full of Wee Stamps images, I'd forgotten how gorgeous they are. Anyway this is what I did with the delightful  Lullaby.

She was coloured with Promarkers to match the LOTV papers. My fabulous stepper die put in an appearance together with a new snowflake punch ready for the festive makes!! Lashings of stardust (which sadly made the ink run a bit but don't look too closely!!) and there you have it!!

Perfect for these challenges

Holly

Hope this finds you well this Thursday Morning. One week to go and I can hardly believe it. My mind is still in October!! Anyway that is certainly not the case so I'd better get a grip!!

I'm off into town today for some edible goodies for the "Christmas Cupboard" and a bottle or two of some festive spirit, but before that I am sharing my DT card for

As You Like It Challenge

and our theme this fortnight is Your favourite Christmas image and WHY?

I found myself using Holly, a Wee Stamps Digi. It's the first time she's been coloured up this year but I have showcased her before here and here.  

She is a dream to colour and I was so pleased with myself this time that I am brave enough to share a close up shot too!! Promarkers compliment the pastel shades of the Nitwits papers.

Glamour Dust was used in outrageous amounts to achieve the necessary sparkle and I even unearthed some crystal stems and pearls. The perfectly coloured snowflake was in my "might use later" die cuts box and was a perfect mat for the sentiment.

I'm playing at these challenges

Modern or traditional Christmas card style?................

..................that is the question at

As You Like It Challenge this fortnight.

A no brainer for me as I have such a huge array of cute and cuddly rubber, clear and digi stamps. In fact because I couldn't make a decision about which to use I ended up getting a couple more!! I decided upon a non-traditional colourway and used SN pencils to colour Lullaby to achieve the modern look in green and dark chocolate.

A challenge or two that I am evtering
