Encrusted Baubles cards

Todays card I made quite a few of in different colour ways for friends. Although, they are quick to stamp, they do take a little while to decorate but I find that quite therapeutic funnily enough!! The biggest circles are filled with Craftwork Cards Candi....I have quite a few packs of these and sorted them to co-ordinate with my pearls, gems, glitter pens and liquid pearls.

When finished they are simply matted onto some Black or Mirror card....I did stamp the sentiment at the same time as the baubles, so as not to chance any mistakes.





 
The Bauble stamp is from Woodware, the sentiment from Inkylicious. The gems, pearls etc are all from my stash. I drew a line with a fine liner down to each bauble and some doodling around the edge with a Silver gel pen. Use glitter or gel pens for the smallest circles.
 
I hope all your Christmas preparations are going well, tomorrow I will start posting photos of all the handmade Christmas cards sent to me this year.

Wreathed in Smiles

I hope your Christmas preparations are going well, I have one more card to show you I made for a class. It uses a stamps from Indigoblu and pan pastels. The wreath was simply stamped and covered with one of the new metallic pan pastels. The bow was done in the same way and then cut out and attached with foam pads. The flowers are from Justrite and coordinate with the Spellbinders Poinsettia dies, this time I used Black cardstock and finished with gold brads.

 
Products used:
 
 
Stamps: Indigoblu Wreathed in Smiles, Seasons Greetings, JustRite Festive Poinsetta
Pan Pastels: Rich Gold
Extras: Black card, Gold Brads and Versamark ink
 
Tomorrow I will post one of the cards I made for friends and then over the holiday period I am going to show you some of the wonderful cards I have received this year.
