Beautiful Edwin
I have finally got round to posting this card i finished this morning. This will be my last card until the weekend as i have a busy week ahead of me. Tomorrow i am having my family round for dinner and i am cooking them a feast. Then on Wednesday ITS MY BIRTHDAY! yipee! I`m going to be a quarter of a century old(god that makes it sound old). On Thursday evening i`m going to be at the o2 arena in London to see the one and only LADY GAGA. So excited i haven't been to a music concert before.(should be a really good night). I`m giving my self a day off Friday as i will need it.
So on to today`s card.
I have used the beautiful lighting Edwin from Magnolia. I have coloured him with distress inks. I have also added glamor dust to the bulbs to make them sparkle. I have stamped around the border with 2 stamps from the Stempelglede grunge collection, called grunge splatter and grunge corner, stamped in memento ink cocoa.
A close up of the grunge stamps. I`m so happy i managed to get the grunge collection. i love it, such a good investment, I will be using it alot.
Sentiment is from Whimsy, winter letter seals. DP is Magnolia, red noel. Brown ribbon from stash. Red glitter around sentiment is stickles. Bulb embellishments(top left) are from ebay they are by woodware, i have covered them in glamor dust to make them stand out more. They are different colour`s but don`t show up in this bad light. I have also gone around the edge of the DP with crackle paint. I think that`s everything.
Challenges
just magnolia-a christmas card
magnolia down under-red, brown and cream
stamp with fun-X-mas
bunny zoes crafts-sparkle and shine

Pearls(big and small) are from ebay. DP`s are by flair design baby collection(not sure what the name is).

22 days to go
Christmas is nearly here. Have you all done most of your Christmas cards? I am nearly there. My card today is focused on the belles n whistles sketch challenge they have at the moment. Over the last week i have found it quite hard to get inspiration, especially from my backing papers. None of them are jumping out at me and when i go to make a card i cant decide on which one to use. MOJO missing?? if found please return. I really wanted to join in with this sketch challenge as i received a new BNW stamp this week, jingle bells. I just had to ink him up.
I coloured the image in distress inks and added stickles to make it pop. Holly stickles for the present and for his hat crystal. I also added glossy accents to the gold bells to make them shine.
Red ribbon is from ebay. bow is made using the amazing bow-easy.
I added the magnolia candy cane as the backing paper had candy canes on it. I coloured this using my promarkers. I then added glamour dust to the green ribbon, only just received the glamour dust its my new favorite glitter item. Its brilliant how it lets the colour show through.
The DP`s are from a DCWV paper pack called christmas. The DP at the back was white but i wanted to settle it in to the background a bit more(if you know what i mean) so i used vintage photo distress ink to tone it down a bit, I distressed the edges with a distressing tool and again went over them with vintage photo. I wasnt sure about the card as i was going along but am glad with how it turned out. Love the little boy on the image, so cute.
Challenges

abc christmas-Y is for Yuletide(red and green)
Im off to make some more cards(hopefully MOJO will come back while im colouring in)lol
