Christmas Tree Fairy Lights

By
It's Theme week at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown and this week we want to see Christmas Cards featuring - FAIRY LIGHTS


Now I have to admit that I struggled with this challenge - whose idea was it to do Fairy Lights??? ...... err - that would be me DOH!
However Louise to the rescue, she has dashed round with her Pennant Parade stamp set and matching punch and this is what I have come up with


You can just see my multi coloured lights on my trees - perhaps you can see them better in this close up


I have used the brand new In Colours for this card: Gumball Green, Summer Starfruit and Raspberry Ripple. My fairy lights were coloured with last years In Colours. Both the trees and the scalloped edges were punched using the fabulous matching punch for this set.
My sentiment has been heat embossed in gold - this is a brilliant stamp set with loads of really useful sentiments in a gorgeous funky font.

Materials
Stamps: Pennant Parade, Sassy Salutations.
Inks: Gumball Green, Summer Starfruit, Raspberry Ripple. Markers: Cherry Cobbler, Pool Party, Island Indigo, Wisteria Wonder, Calypso Coral. Versamark.
Card stock: Naturals White.
Accessories: Pennant Punch, Gold embossing powder
All the above items can be ordered through me and delivered direct to you door - details at the top of the blog.

Now it's time for you to hop on over to the blog and take a look at all the other fabulous dt work including that of our Guest DT Birgit - she's got prizes too!
See you soon - Jacqueline xx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
