Wintry cards for Kat Scrappiness Blog Hop

Here are two wintry cards using watercolour backgrounds.

This one was stamped with black embossing powder and tag from Unity Stamp Co (Kit of the Month Oct 2013). The tree silhouette stamp (GinaK Designs) seem to be discontinued:


And a white embossing ink one using the same tree stamp.  The sentiment is from the same Unity Stamp set.



This is posted as part of the Kat Scrappiness Blog Hop!!   It's a really good cause and though it's near impossible to support financially from South Africa I hope this helps!

Fancy framed shaker

And here is card number 3. This one took me quite a while to make. The cut frame has 3 layers and is then layered on another cut-out from the die-set to create the frame and base for the shaker. This whole shaker was then mounted onto a card base from which the front edge has been partially die-cut from the same die to match the shape of the border.

Snowmen sliders

This is card nr 2 of the specially ordered cards. It's for a young boy and I thought he would like the spinning and sliding snowmen.


Snowmen: Grab bag from GinaK Designs (probably discontinued stamps, they're so old)

Flamenco

I was asked to make 3 special cards for Christmas and as usual I like to include a theme of interest for the specific person where possible.

This one was for a lady who loves dancing!  I decided to leave out a sentiment so that it can be used for Christmas / Holidays / New Year.

(I'm no colourist and usually avoid it so this was just coloured quickly with watercolour paint.)
