Finally found some 'ME' time yesterday and then sadly discovered the mojo had gone walkabout!With creative ideas sadly lacking I thought I'd best stick to CAS cards as simple layouts were all that my brain cells would manage.
And it also gave me a chance to use up some of the smaller pieces of pearl card laying about - cuttlebug to the rescue, some dies and embossing folders and a bit of glitter and so began a Christmas card making session.
Two cards to share - one tent card, one square, same basic design just using different die cut trees and sentiments.The punched out glittery snowflake was not intended originally - but there was a dirty mark on the embossed piece which I didn't notice until I stuck the other bits on - happily the little glittery flake covered up my smudgy sins!
The sentiments were stamped using Stone Gray Stazon - I treated myself to a little PB stamp set this week and these were included in the set.
Challenges -
Charisma - WOW
Aud Sentiments - Christmas Sentiment

UPDATE -
Everyone asking me about the die for the larger top card - it's a Memory Box one called - would you believe - 'Twiggy Tree'!! LOL

Hi Viv
ReplyDeleteLovely to find a bit of "me" time! I think you put it to fantastic use.
Fabby makes .. .. especially the sparkly torn edges.
I don't think Mr Mojo has gone anywhere!!
Hope you are well and having a good weekend.
Love Jules xx
Isn`t it a pain when you finally get some time and Mr Mojo goes walkabout? Not that you`d notice, these are both fab. Love all the white and the glittered torn edges. Thanks for sharing.

Two fabby cards Viv. That's a kick in the rear end for me to bite the bullet and give white on white a serious whirl. They look so classy, love both the trees and the tron 'snowy hills' are great.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Di xx
If you made these two stunning cards with no mojo, what can you do when it returns :o)

Wow! These are gorgeous!! I absolutely love the one on the left, and wonder where the tree die is from? I hope you will have more me-time in the future.

Wow two fabulous, classy cards Viv! what die is the larger pic ( tree) one please.....Memory box?? :) Viv xx
ReplyDeleteStunning w-o-w cards, Viv! I came to meet you following a link from another talented Viv!! Darnell
ReplyDeleteWow! It would be difficult to chose which of these beauties I like best. Enjoyed the clever use you made of the different dies, tearing the paper, and keeping it all white! Read with a smile about the snowflake addition...makes me feel better about my own 'opportunities'. The snowflake was perfect on this card. Really loved the white on white theme. TFS & Hugs
