INSPIRATION STATION #68

Welcome back to Inspiration Station and our final challenge for the year and I hope you are inspired by our lovely image. 

I actually found the little gingerbread die in my stash and didn't even know I had him - so that was a great find.

I used a stamp by Creative Expressions for the background - colouring it with different coloured inks and then spritzing it to give a watercolour effect when stamped.  The burlap is a new find and is actually adhesive and I'm loving using it.  The mug stamps are some very old favourite ones from Gina K called Season of Joy.  The little candy cane is a wooden embellishment from my stash.  The greenery is from Tim Holtz.

Wishing you all a very happy and peaceful Festive Season and looking forward to seeing you all again playing with us next year. 

PEARLY SPARKLES - #102 - CHRISTMAS

Welcome back to our last challenge of the year at Sparkles and it just had to be Christmas.  

I created a wreath with some stamps from Tracy Evans Boutique Designs and added some cut out poinsettia flowers to add a bit more interest.  There is some background word stamping on the far side of the card.  The little robin is also from Tracy and I drew my own little branch.  I added lots of sparkle with Stickles glitter and liquid pearls and also used the pearls for the snow on the branch.  

Wishing you all a very happy Festive season and see you all next year.
