Red and gold Christmas

Good morning everyone, I hope all is well in your world!

I had a wonderful day out in Warwickshire on Tuesday. The day was very grey but mild and dry although very wet underfoot. I will show a few pics later.

Onto my card for today. It is quite formal, but it couldn't get much simpler when you are in a hurry :o)

Base card is plain red cut and folded to A6. The gold card is from my scrap box, I wish I had some more of it! Can't remember who made the stamp but I heat embossed it with Stampendous detail gold, then cut with Nesties. I think I may do some of these in green :o)

Fairy cards + my own wheat

Good morning Bloggers, I hope you are all well, my arm is virtually back to normal now :o)

I must say welcome to a new follower Freyja, thank you for joining me.

Onto my cards and particularly my wheat LOL. I am so chuffed that I managed to create the wheat from an old CorelDraw 7 image. I bought this version way back about 1997 but I never installed it on this machine. I suddenly thought of an image that I used to make some cards years ago, before I really got started in crafting and would you believe it, I have browsed it for hours and cannot find it. Still, I have found some other cracking images that I can make SCAL files from so I am a happy bunny :o)

The mushrooms are an svg file I found on the internet and I am sorry I cannot remember where. If you know please tell me so I can give credit where it's due.

 I brayered some thin card for the background and used the offcuts to stamp the 

main image. It's the first time these Lindsay Mason stamps have seen ink apart from the sentiment. Main images cut with Nesties :o)

Not bauble cards for a change.....

.....but if you look closely you may see a few here and there :o)

They are all my own photographs.

This one is made up from 3 photographs, a scene in the snow at Elvaston Castle, a Christmas tree and a santa bauble. I put them all together in PSP. Holly punch (sorry it has no name on it) and I used a Marvey for the berries.

 More jiggery pokery in PSP. I took the Southern Belle photograph in Florida in 1989, same Christmas tree as previous card and the marble staircase I took in Stockport Register Office when my brother got married there some years ago. The base card and mat were cut with a Nestie.

  

Another photograph taken at Elvasto Castle and a robin taken at Attenborough Nature Reserve. Trees are just elongated triangle tha I hand cut and embossed with Cuttlebug folder then added a smidgin of glamour dust.

The same tree again with a swirl cut on the Cricut and a Nestie mat :o)

Two posts in a few minutes...

...it must be a record for me :o)

I love this Queen Anne's Lace stamp from PB and don't use it often enough!

I sponged the linen card with Tim Holtz distress inks and coloured the stamp with Marveys

SU sentiment, Nesties and Martha Stewart punches were used

and I sprayed the red card with Crafters Companion gold spray :o)
