52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown - Color Challenge

By
Morning folks - a quick scheduled post for you today as I'm away.
It's color challenge time at 52 CCT - here's what Mynnette and I have for you this week

And here are my cards


My stamps are from Papermania and are embossed in gold. I coloured my images in with Promarkers and I really don't know why they look as if the are photographed in the fog! Really they are much more vibrant in real life. I also added a lot of gold glitter for sparkle.


This one has been made in the same way except that the flower was raised up on 3D foam pads and clear embossing liquid added - here is a close up


Thanks for looking - hope you get a chance to pop over to the blog or to see Mynnette my partener in crime!! - Jacqueline xx

    These are AMAZING! I saw them before I got your email--and they took my breath away--I never would've thought you'd done them on such a short time span! I LOVE all the gold embossing and glitter and that poinsettia is stunning! Posted in the admin blog--hope to hear from you soon. Thoughts and prayers to you and yours! :)

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
