Crafty Hazelnut's Weekly Christmas Challenge #425

a new Christmas Challenge every Saturday!

Today Crafty Hazelnut brings a new weekly Christmas Challenge

with the theme 'Use some green'.

Do pop over and see the inspiration from my teamies!

Here's my card...

Recipe:

1. I started with a green card base and added a strip of ribbon across the bottom.
2. I then used my new toy and three different colours of green card. This is a set of three layering dies from Birch Press Designs. In December I took part in the 25 Tags of Christmas and won the SuperStar prize. I used my prize voucher towards this set of dies.
3. I layered the three circles in the top part of the card and the central snowflakes on the ribbon.
4. I added the sentiment from Create and Craft Christmas Flocking Set.

I hope you will join the

CHNC Challenge 425

Happy Crafting!

This is my Day #4 Post, Part 2!

Just another quick ATC out of my box...a Valentine's hearts and flowers - but not red roses...

  

You may have read that I have been clearing out my craft room - it is a long job!!

Anyway I came across a heap of old cards - and amongst them a hand painted little beauty that came from someone in Vietnam.

I decided to use the image as part of an ATC for my box - not pretty pretty flowers - but an image I really liked and reminiscent of the crocuses that are popping up everywhere here.

I started with a piece of black card layered with a scrap of Fabscraps paper.

I cut out the image and added it along with some green embellishments - a button, some beads and a green heart.

I will add this ATC to the linky...on Leigh's Day #1 on 12th February

Happy Hopping!

This is my Day #4 Post!

I have three more ATCs to show you in this post.

  

My first one uses black card, a scrap of DP, then the image (printed and with added colour from Copics, then trimmed). I added the sentiment and two felt hearts. Distressing was with Brick Barn distress ink.
The image is Leigh's Tree of Raggedy Hearts

Leigh's image reminded me of a Hero Arts rubber stamp that I have in my collection:

I stamped this with the Christmas ornaments masked. I then added spiders (my favourite spider stamp from Viva Las Vegas stamps) and webs with a fineliner.
 I then made two ATCs:

I then trimmed the images, distressed them with Wild Honey distress ink and palced them on scraps of DP.  I then added sentiments and tiny spider embellishments.

I will add these ATCs to the linky...on Leigh's Day #1 on 12th February

Happy Hopping!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Not only is it Valentine's Day, it is also our Wedding Anniversary!

14th February 1976

So a special day...

I have three more ATCs to show you in this post.

  

 I have used an image from Limited Runs
This is the current image in the Facebook Group Progressive Challenge.

In each case I printed the image and added a little colour with Copics and then cut it out. I used scraps of black card and scraps from a Valentine Paper Pack behind the images.
I distressed with Brick Barn distress ink.
I printed the sentiments on the computer, trimmed them and distressed them.
Finally I added googly eyes.

I will add these ATCs to the linky...on Leigh's Day #1 on 12th February
