SGC - Anything Goes with All Dressed Up

Hi Lovely followers :)
This fortnight over at Southern Girls Challenge the theme is Anything Goes again.
We have been sponsored by All Dressed Up for this challenge.

I chose to do a fairly CAS card for me using Christmas Deer .



I used KaiserCraft papers from a last years Christmas release.
The image was coloured with Copic markers and the sentiment was cut with my silhouette cutter.

Merry Christmas to EWE

I have been busy beavering away making Christmas cards.
A fun task when you have such cute stamps and dies to work with.

When I saw this Baah Humbug Christmas stamp and dies set I knew they would be perfect for sending out this years Christmas Salutations.


I stamped the images with alcohol marker friendly ink then die cut with the corresponding dies.
Once they were cut I coloured them and glued them down.
The sheep is adhered with foam tape to add dimension.

I added the bakers twine and drew lines around the white mat to finish the card.

Thanks for dropping by and I hope you are having a fabulous Christmas Day.

Bizzy Becs Anything Goes

It's our last challenge for the year over at Bizzy Bec's
As always the theme is Anything Goes.

I went for a Christmas theme using Baah Humbug stamps and Dies from LawnFawn, available of course in the Bizzy Becs Shop



I stamped my images with Memento Black ink  then cut them with the corresponding dies.
I had prestamped and edged the mat card with Stitched Borders Dies.
I then foam mounted the sheep and added the diecut hat and bell.

I then adhered all my layers and added the star ribbon.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today and I hope you will join in at Bizzy Becs with us.
