The Cutest Snowman

 Hi Everyone

Today is the start of this months challenge over at Unicorn Challenge Blog

 

The theme for this month is Christmas/Winter.  This is our last challenge this year as the DT are taking December off.  We will be back on January 4th with a new challenge

For my DT card this time I have used Winter Snowman from C.C. Designs  He is my favourite Snowman.  I just think he is so cute!

I coloured him with Copics and added Diamond Sparkle Glitter to him.  I used Spellbinders and Go Kreate Dies to create the Circle Layers and cut a snow mound from Hammered Card using an MFT Scalloped Wavy Border Die.  The snowflake and the Merry Christmas are both Tattered Lace Dies and I popped on a clear aqua gem to the centre of the snowflake

Pumpkin Themed Boxes

Hi Everyone

Here I am sharing another inspiration for the Pink Gem Etsy Shop 

There have been some fabulous new releases into the store and I wanted to make something to show off some of the papers in the Autumn/Fall Gnomes Digi Paper Pack 

A crafty friend suggested I have a go at Pillow Boxes, Simple she said takes 5 minutes she said!!!  Er YEAH RIGHT!!!  These two took me an hour and they kept popping undone and I lost my cool quite a few times lol.  But I got there in the end!

I have kept one without an image as the paper has the image on it so I just decorated it with a touch of ribbon.  The other one I coloured up Scandinavian Autumn/Fall Gnome using Copics.  I added some Diamond Sparkles Glitter and popped him on the front of the box with some Pearl Gems.

 

I would like to enter these boxes into the following Challenges

Halloween Birthday Witch

 Hi Everyone

I am still playing with Halloween Cards, this one is for a Halloween Birthday!

I have used Broom Ride Sue Digi Stamp from C.C. Designs and created this Halloween scene but added in some Autumnal bushes/leaves to mix it up a bit!

 

I decided to try a pink sky this time as I haven't done a pink one before.

 

The sentiment is from MFT and the little bats are a clear stamp from Lawn fawn.
