And here is my inspiration for this months challenge..... Please see all instructions and products used below:

  • I have used an 8''x8'' white scalloped base card, I have attached a piece purple watercolour paper to the base
  • The next thing I have done is taken a piece of white 7''x7'' layer I have stamped out a snow flake image randomly to the background using sticky ink, then using a clear embossing powder to heat emboss the image. I have then blended 3 different coloured inks over the image using a resist technique, I glittered around the edge creating a glittery boarder, then matted this layer on a silver/grey mat.
  • For the sentiment I have die cut the word Merry Christmas from the same colour watercolour pad as the background piece and layered onto the coordinating background die in white card stock.
  • To add some finishing touches, I have attached a piece of silver ribbon around all the matts and layers and adhered to the base. I added some glitter to the main image before securing to the card with some foam pads, then added some pearls to finish.

  • Purple Watercolour washes paper pad from Chloe's creative cards

And here is my inspiration for this months challenge..... Please see all instructions and products used below:





  • To start with I have created my card base and to do this I have used a white 8x8 scalloped card blank in a tent fold orientation, I have then scored and folded at the half way point on the front of the card to create an easel card.
  • Next I have printed out all the images received in the printable download, I have taken the main Image sheet topper and added this to a black mat, then a yellow 8x8 mat.
  • For the bottom of the card I have used the frame topper sheet from the same downloadable set and again added this to a black mat. I then created a white mat layer and ran around the edges of this with my glue pen and added some yellow glitter, I then added all the layers onto another 8x8 yellow mat and adhered to the base of the card
  • I still had two sheets left from my print out so I decided to fussy cut all the elements and decoupage these up using foam pads, The elements I used were the Sunflower twice and the lady in the yellow dress. I added this to the front panel of my easel card ensuring only to attach it at the bottom so the card is free to open as shown.
  • To create my sentiment to act as the stopper on my card, I cut out the sentiment with love from the Digi set, next I took a piece of black and white card and used my die cuts to layer up a frame to create a stopper, then added the sentiment on top with foam pads
  • To just add that last finishing touch to complete the card I added my clear overlay sparkle pen to the sunflower, to the Lady and to the butterfly's for that little touch of shimmer that you can see when you hold the card up to the light.
