Digi Choosday Challenge Week 48– Anything Goes!

If you need a Christmas card for a ‘girl with attitude’ (as I do) you need an image to match so I used the utterly gorgeous ULA - BE STRONG and dressed her up for the festive season.

The beautifully delicate die set from Polkadoodles is one of my faves and can be made to look like a gift so that is what I did. I used 2 different sentiments from 2 different collections to correspond with Ula’s obvious defiant mood. “Christmas”, she says?!  “Bring it on”!!!

Ingredients:

Image: ULA - BE STRONG

Colouring: Promarkers & Pencils

Colouring Paper: ULTIMATE GRAPHIC

Backing Papers: PICKNIX 3 – NORDIC WINTER

Sentiments: WINNIE WINTERLAND & LIL MISS SUGARPOPS

Dies: POLKADOODLES RIBBON GIFT FRAME SET  - Go Kreate Square Frame Frilly #10 – Tonic ‘Nesting Circles’ – Sue Wilson ‘Stitched Tag’

Other: Ribbon – Gems – Faux Stitching – Stickles – Pompom

Here is another Christmas creation from me using one of the fabby new clear stamps.  This Merry Christmas can be found in the CHRISTMAS SNOW BAUBLES STAMP PLATE and I stamped it directly to a piece of digi paper from the WINNIE WINTERLAND COLLECTION. I also stamped the snowflake several times onto the paper in very pale ink so spot them if you can!!

The pre-coloured images are also from WINNIE WINTERLAND and I re-sized them to approx. 3.5cm so that they could sit atop the sentiment. 😊

Today the team are still in Christmas mode and I have made a card combining both digital and clear stamping elements.

I digitally created a background using one of the backing papers, a holly frame and a banner sentiment from the WINNIE WINTERLAND COLLECTION leaving enough space (hopefully) to stamp the gorgeous CHRISTMAS ROBIN CUDDLES stamp.  Have to say it was a close thing!!

Have you seen the new ‘Stamp of the Month’ that Nikky has introduced to the store? Well I have used the first of this series called WINNIE CHRISTMAS WREATH! Isn’t she fab.

I stamped her directly onto some of the digi paper from WINNIE WINTERLAND and coloured her with pencils.  I wanted to create a complete scene so I used a pre-coloured image from the same collection, re-coloured to B/W, added it onto another digi paper and resized to fit behind the window die. I added pops of colour to it to match the rest. 

The cute little robin sitting on the fence is another clear stamp that comes as a BONUS when you purchase this gorgeous STAMP OF THE MONTH. I know!!!  

Ingredients:

Clear Stamp Image: WINNIE CHRISTMAS WREATH

Colouring: Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor Pencils

Printing/Colouring Paper: ULTIMATE GRAPHIC
