Nordic Christmas

Good morning everyone, I'm here today with a new challenge for the Polkadoodles Challenge blog, the challenge is Nordic Christmas and here is my make.

I got these MDF letters at a craft show back in the summer and dug them out for this challenge. I love nothing better than to make my own Christmas decorations, I think it shows your own style off to people. I started by giving them a coat of White Gesso. The papers I have used are from Magical Winter and all the embellies are from Work & Play Festive Hollybobs. I have done faux stitching with the white Shake It pen from Graph'It Markers and I have added some White Gesso and Light Modelling Paste to look like snow. The die cut poinsettias are from Tattered Lace.

 Here are some close up of the individual letters.

I can't wait to hang this up in the bar to show off to everyone!

Polka Doodles challenge week 6

The challenge over at Polka Doodles this week is Valentine/love, and here is my card.

The image is from the Pretty Tuff CD and coloured with ProMarkers. The papers and alpha are from the Magical Winter part 2 CD. I've matted the papers onto Kraft card and I've added a few stamped hearts, some die cuts and heart shaped buttons. I've also added some faux stitching.
