Beautiful Christmas Easel Card coloured with Distress Reinkers

Good morning everyone,

This morning I am popping in with some Polkadoodles inspiration. This will be my last Christmas card of the year.

I have coloured up this beautiful image called 'Delivering Gifts by Sledge' from the Winnie White Christmas collection and coloured it with distress re-inkers. She can be bought separately as a black and white or coloured image or as part of the Winnie White Christmas Big Kahuna collection which has over 530 printable elements and is gorgeous.

I printed out the image and cut it with the largest die from the Posydoodles Circle die set. Once coloured I sprinkled some shabby white frantage around the outside of the image and sprinkled on some glamour dust for the lying snow and for the fur on the hats and boots.

DI list:

Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick

Hair: Antique Linen, Walnut Stain

Coat, Hat and Boots: Weathered Wood, Hickory Smoke

Sledge and Contents: Hickory Smoke, Black Soot, Aged Mahogany, Antique Linen, Gathered Twigs, Iced Spruce, Hickory Smoke

The papers are also from the Winnie White Christmas collection (papers 4).

Tucked underneath the flowers are some spruce leaves sprinkled with twinklets and I've cut one the Posydoodles tag dies and stamped a sentiment from the 'Most Wonderful Joy' set of sentiment stamps.

  

The beautiful lacy poinsettia has been cut from Poinsettia Lace die and the snowflake peeping out of the top left hand side has been cut from the Fancy Snowflake die and they cut beautifully.

 

That's all from me today, I am going to take a little break, but I will be back in the New Year.

Have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy Crafty New Year. Thank you for all your visits and comments throughout the year, they are greatly appreciated.

Beautiful 'Winnie Wonderful Time' Stamp coloured with a Soft Colour Palette

Good morning everyone,

I hope you are keeping well.

As we are into December now,  I am popping in to share some more Christmas inspiration for Polkadoodles Crafting.

I couldn't resist colouring up this cute stamp again called 'Wonderful Time' from the Winter Wishes collection.

I actually started my Christmas shopping last week, I had a day off from work and had a lovely time wandering around the shops taking in all the festive gorgeousness (I'm not sure that is a word, but I like it lol). 

Links to the materials I have used are at the bottom of this post, just click on a picture to be taken directly to the product.

I have kept the colours very soft using lilac, grey and iced spruce and have coloured it with distress reinkers.

DI list:Skin: Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick
Hair: Walnut Stain, Antique Linen, Black Soot
Coat, Hat and Scarf: Milled Lavender
Scarf, Hat and Boots: Iced Spruce
Sleigh: Hickory Smoke, Black Soot
Snowman and Rabbit: Hickory Smoke, Worn Lipstick, Ripe Persimmon

I haven't used Christmas papers on this card, but instead chose to use some distress ink spotted and plain papers from the Lil Miss Sugarpops collection. 

I have used a whole range of beautiful Polkadoodles projects on this card. Tucked underneath the image is a gorgeous fancy snowflake die which I have covered in twinklets to give that lovely icy look.

Peeping out from underneath the flowers are some gorgeous spruce dies, holly leaves and I've cut on one of the fabulous tag dies to use as a sentiment. The sentiment is from the 'Most Wonderful Joy' set of clear stamps with a clear ink pad and sprinkled on some silver embossing powder.

For the inside of the card, I cut the largest Posydoodles circle die and another sentiment from the 'Most Wonderful Joy' stamp set again embossing it with silver embossing powder.

That's all from me today.

Thank you for popping in.

Hugs
