Cold and frosty


Have you been in our top 5?


It's time for our very first challenge of 2018 over at
and this month we want to see 
Cold and Frosty Colours

We have an amazing prize up for grabs with a fabulous collection of
Sizzix Products!


Just please please please remember
Stamping must be the central point of attention and interest

I went a bit mad with my Christmas presents and made two cards this month!


I got some lovely new Sheena Douglass stamps and some new Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens and Spectrum Aqua watercolour pens. Santa was sooooo good to me this year!
For my first card I used the watercolours pens and glycerine for my background and stamped some tree tops and the little bird which I coloured with promarkers.
I then splatered some Gesso to create snow. The sentiment was stamped then I added some glue and glitter.
Items used:
Watercolour card, spectrum noir acqua pens, Sheena Douglass stamps, memento ink, versafine ink, glycerine, glitter, lilac card.


For my second card I used sparkle noir pens for my background, along with my Sheena Douglass stamps, promarkers, snowflake stamp and white gel pen for snowy highlights.
I love making these backgrounds but those spectrum noir sparkle pens leave such a mess on my hands. I am seriously thinking of wearing rubber gloves next time!

Stupid autocorrect correct! It should have said:

You've certainly made good use of your Christmas presents, Pinky! These are both gorgeous. I'm loving the effect of the sparkle pens and I see Sally has got some too. I feel some new stash coming on.....

Happy new year,

Two fabulous cards Pinky. It's always great to play with new stash, it seems to help with renewed Mojo and ideas I think. I love the backgrounds created with the sparkle pens.

Hi Pinky,

I had a feeling they were Sheena stamps and what super creations you have made with them and can see you are having real fun with your sparkle pens, they are quite addictive aren't they.

Your cards are perfect for your themes at Allsorts and Penny Black and More, thanks so much for joining in at both.
