Seasonal Silver

Over on CHNC this week the theme is Seasonal Silver.

I've had rather a busy week on the non crafting  side of life so am just sneaking in my entry before I'm off out to a gig tonight!

The background is stamped with silver ink, but try as I might it doesn't show up very well on the photo! In real life it is more silvery :-)

I used my Xmas pudding stamp which I coloured with my Copics, 

then cut out & mounted on sticky fixers.

Then to finish added the merry christmas sentiment 

stamped directly onto the card.

Simple but I hope effective ......

Angel Xmas card

This is another Xmas card

I did make my daughter's birthday card today but I can't reveal until later - don't want to spoil the surprise!

The background is stamped onto the card.

the angel was stamped out in silver ink & then cut out, outlined with stickles & mounted on sticky fixers.

I used silver craft wire (from a set of different coloured wires that I've had for ages!) to make the halo. I wound the wire round a pen to get the round shape & then twisted the ends together & popped it behind the head.

I was going for the simple but striking look :-)

Mind you it took quite a while to produce this 'simple' card!! :-)
