It's Quirky Snowing...

Hello!! This is my second DT card this Sunday for the challenge over on Quirky Craft's Challenge Blog. (I know...I nearly fainted too!) It's was my turn to set the theme and decided it should be something very easy. Snow!
I used one of our sponsors digi's Little Tree by Limited Runs. Coloured with Promakers (of course)
Backing Papers. I've used 'Cosy Collection Papers', which came free from Quick Cards made Easy Magazine issue 93. (worth clicking the link, you won't find these papers but you will find links to other freebie papers. You may have to 'sign in') I've layered the papers onto matt silver card. I used Nestabilities Scalloped Circles and a Martha Steward border punch, plus some red reindeer ribbon from DoCrafts and grey/silver eyelash wool from my stash. I've also used Liquid Appliqué on the tree...I love the way that stuff bubbles up when you heat it. The Large snowflake I bought on line years ago...I think I had a bag of 50 of them! (49 to go!) I added some micro glitter to it and there's also some micro glitter on the little girls clothing. Her buttons have a 'smidging' of red Stickles glitter.
The sentiment was made on my laptop so therefore The font is a freebie. I'm sure I've linked it before, it's called Cute Pop, which you can down load HERE or Google the name.
I've had Emma and Tom (daughter and S-I-L) here today... making their Christmas Cards, so it's been quite a crafty afternoon! Wish I'd taken some pictures!

Another Christmas Card

I forgot all about this one, so here it is... Very simple, using those three little (almost drunken) Snowmen again! Not quite done in the same way. I've still 3D-ed them but have cut round both images (so there's no fiddly bits) fixed the first image over the pale blue snowflake backing paper (Forever Friends) leaving on enough paper to act as the 'snow' at the bottom and then fixed the other image over the top using silicone glue. Coloured them with Promakers, added micro and Stickles glitter and lines of that Liquid Applique, which fluffs up when you zap it with the heat gun! I've used, MS fern punch and for the snowflakes and holly, Woodware punches. I've added a few tiny gem stones too.

Rainbow Tree ATC's

We were having a bit of a ATC swap over on The Cardmaking and PaperCraft forum. (The link takes you to their freebies) On the ATC there had to be a rainbow...and a tree, and just for good measure, and because I thought, why not, I added a rabbit too.
The background papers were freebies, the larger rainbow papers (On your right and lower left) were from Papercraft Inspirations a little while ago, I'm sure they're still available to download. I'll hunt out a link for you. Yep! Found it. This one was a March Freebie and is called 'Bootiful Rainbow.' (Click on the above link and it will take to to their freebie page) The tree and the rabbit I drew myself and coloured with my ProMaker pens. I'm loving them more and more every day! I just added a few red gems to look like apples and another hand drawn rainbow. Then sprinkled on some micro glitter. The little bob tail on the first bunny was made using 'Liquid Applique'. You squirt a tiny bit on, and then fire your heat gun at it and it fluffs up. Great for snow!
The pink rainbow paper (Top left,) was also a freebie and as soon as I can remember where from, and if it's still available I'll put a link in.
Sorry, they're a bit 'shiny' but that's because they're already in their little ATC bags. I think it sort of finishes them off and makes them look a bit more 'professional' when they're in their bags, and it stops the little gems flying off and landing in your cocoa!
We have a new follower! Say hi and a big (((wave)) to Trish Pop over and see what's going on, on her blog! Some lovely cards to have a shifty at!

A bit chilly here today. Our Village Fete just about survived the afternoon without it raining. Hot Dogs, beer, (so John was happy!) A clown. A tug-o-war for the kids. A Scottish Pipers Band.
