Crystal Flakes

Hello folks and I hope you are all well on this rather chilly Wednesday.  I love this weather its all bright blue sky out there and crisp - beautiful.  

Anyway, just popping in quickly to share with you another one of my Christmas cards I have made and this time I inked up a sweet Sugar Nellie image called 'Crystal Flakes'.  I coloured her up using my copics and my colour palette was decided by my choice of papers.  I've been very good this year and not bought any new designer paper stock as I have stacks left from previous years and it seemed silly not to use it.  

I made my poinsettias using the Spellbinders 'Layered Poinsettia' die set and cut from plain white card and coloured with copics to match the image and then just added some Twinklets.

A Tiddly Inks Christmas!

Happy Sunday my lovelies I hope you've been having an enjoyable weekend.  Mine has been rather swift in passing but a good one nonetheless! 

Anyway, I'm just popping in to share with you a little bit of Tiddly Inks goodness this evening with my Dies to Dies For dt make.  I must say I rather like these cute little stamps and I love the fact that this image comes with a few sentiments, one of which I've used on my card, and a couple of additional little images too and they stamp beautifully!  My image is 'Willow Christmas Fairy' and she has been inked up with Memento 'Tuxedo Black' and coloured with my copics (all links are below).  Of course no Christmas card of mine would be complete without a little bit of sparkle so I have added some Glamour Dust 'Crystal' to the fur trims and of course her wings and voila my card was complete.  I rather like this clean and simple look so I think the remainder of my Christmas cards for friends will be like this one as time is quickly running out.
