Snarky Christmas Cheer!

 

Hi everyone, the pace is picking up as Christmas gets closer!

Everything is busy but I needed more cards and took some time out in my craft room...wish I could stay here lol!

I love these grumpy bears and mixed and matched a few stamp sets and dies to create this scene.

I used an MFT stencil for the grass, Taylored Expressions for the bear and slogan, Tim Holtz for the gifts and hat and Waffle Flower for the sparkly die cut.

Coloured him with prismacolour pencils and chameleon pens for the hat and gifts.

Chocolate gold gilded bauble

 

Hi everyone, I still have a few Christmas cards I need to make and thought I'd pop this one into a few challenges.

A while ago I bought some gilding flakes and the colour is chocolate!

It's a bit hard to see in the pic but there is a lovely mix of brown and gold in the flakes!

I added some flitter glue to some cardstock and attached the gilding flakes. When dry I diecut the ornament, top and bow. The background ornament is diecut from white shimmer card.

The sentiment is stamped and embossed in gold  and the embossing folder that frames it all is called Stately by Craft Concepts.
