Father Christmas

By
It's time for another Christmas challenge at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown and this week we want to see your cards with images of Father Christmas

Here is my card


As I don't have any stamps with Father Christmas images I had to have a mad rummage through my old (and I mean old!) crafting stash which I had condemned to the far reaches of my craft room to find a sticker. I mounted him on to some green card stock and added him to a card I had stamped with an image from the Bells and Boughs set - coloured in with various markers. Quite simple - and quick but not a bad effort in the end!
(No pictures of close ups or inside - still trying to transfer all my files from my old lap top!)

Materials - Stampin' Up
Stamps: Bells and Boughs
Inks: Basic Gray, Pear Pizzazz (Retired) Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler - all Stampin' Write Markers
Card Stock: Whisper White, Garden Green
Accessories: White Gel Pen
(Please do e-mail me or see my details in the top tabs if you would like to order any items in the Stampin' Up range - thanks)

Don't forget to pop over to take a look at the other DT works of art and I will see you soon - Jacqueline xx

    I never though of using stickers and stamps together, but this is fabulous! It works so well together and you did a great job coloring. Thanks for your inspirations, Jacqueline!

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...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week. My work space is quite long and this week I have managed to use up all available surfaces .........with mess! starting at the left hand end  This is the devestation left from yestersday's Project Tuesday challenge and some atc making.
