Christmas Baubles card two

Hi everyone, another take on the Christmas Baubles image for this card and another way to use the image. The download has a transparent background which means it can be printed on patterned paper and used for paper piecing. I printed three sheets of gingham patterned paper, put them back through the printer and printed the baubles image on top of them all. I then cut and pieced the various patterned pieces around the baubles image printed on white card. The background is the offcuts from each of the three gingham sheets arranged to give a patchwork effect and I've doodled stitching around these and another piece that was cut on one edge with a scalloped blade for the centre panel. The plain image is cut with the largest of the Labels one nestability dies, the edges doodled and sponged with ranger distress in black soot. I stamped around the edges with various small stamps from a Woodware Christmas sentiment set. Apart from a piece of white ribbon under the die cut there is absolutely no bling or glitter on this card which must be a first!!!! TFL.

Back soon,

Chris

Basic Grey Challenges 12

Hi everyone a card today for Basic Grey where the challenge this week is embossing. I've used a new digital design that I've made and which I've added a link to in my sidebar for anyone who'd like to download and use it for their Christmas cards, it's for personal use only of course. If you do use it, I'd love it if you'd come and let me know so that I can visit you and take a look. I've pencil coloured the image and blended with Sansodor, added a some stickles and clear sparkle gel pen then distressed the edges and sponged with distress inks. Image is matted on Bazzil card over the background of Basic Grey Wassail papers and the horizonatal panel is embossed with the CB Swiss Dots folder. Added the little Christmas charm on some red cord to finish.

Thank you so much to everyone who's passed me the the awards below, they're so much appreciated and make me smile. Unfortunately I can't find anyone that I know who hasn't received them so I'll pass them to anyone visits who doesn't have them. Thanks again. TFL.


Back soon,
Chris
