Less is More - Week 42 - Theme - Silhouette

The girls over at Less is More have challenged us to come up with a card designed around silhouettes this week.  I decided to use this image from a Debbie Moore CD and die cut it using my oval nesties.  I then triple embossed using Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel.  I die cut the corresponding scalloped oval in black card and mounted.  I've used a square white linen card and put it through my Joy using a Tim Holtz embossing folder but just embossing the bottom 2/3rds of the card.  I tied on a polka dot ribbon and added the silhouette.  I then stamped the sentiment (Hobby Art) using black Versafine ink and added three black pearls to the bottom.

Thanks for dropping by.

Bah! Humbug! Challenge 15 - Christmas Stockings

This week's challenge over at Humbug Hall is Christmas Stockings.  I'm afraid that I'm siding with Max on this one - sorry Ann!!!  lol

I have used an image from a stamp set by Debbi Moore Designs and thought it would be something my DH would be delighted to see in his stocking this year.......... She's been coloured with Promarkers and I've added Stickles to her "furry" bits - hmm, that sounds a bit rude!!!  I used nesties labels to die cut the image and mat.  The backing paper and border of stockings is from the Papermania Classic Christmas pad.  The sentiment is computer generated and die cut using Fancy Labels 2 which is a lovely set.  I've added some gems to finish off.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sad occasions

A friend of mine's daughter works as a nurse in Dorchester Hospital where she deals with still born births. They have a memorial book and send cards to the parents. A little while ago I was asked to provide these cards and I must say it is really difficult to choose what to put on them. I have just made another batch and used images from Joanna Sheen's Heavenly Cards CD and various other CD's including Debbi Moore's Flowers for all Occasions. I have also used rubber stamps of butterflies and the like as well. As I say, it is really difficult making these cards knowing what the parents are going through.
