Merry Cristmas Cardinal

Close Up Showing My Image

Hello and welcome to my creations... I have a new card and this one is for the following challenges and their themes:

• Digital Tuesday Challenge ... "Let It Snow"
• A Spoonful of Sugar Challenge ... "Anything Goes"
• Crafty Creations Challenge ... "Christmas Is Coming"
• Fresh Brewed Challenge ... "Winter Christmas"
• Cute Card Thursday ... "A Blast From the Past" Challenge #31 Snowflakes
• Crafty Purple Frog ... "Flowers"
• Crafty Catz Challenge ... "Winter"

Well to start off I used papers from my stash. The image is one of mine that I created for Pattie's Creations Digital Images called "Cardinal on Branch with Snow". Please go to my store and check out my latest images. I colored my image with my Copics and added Glossy Accents and some crystal glitter to the snow on the branches. I love the way the glitter looks when sprinkled over the Glossy Accents. I decided to add the Glossy Accents over the entire cardinal image and I must say I love it! I cut out my image and rounded the corners. I then added some pale blue spritz that I created using water, paint and glitter. I distressed my burgundy paper and added a ribbon. I then added a sentiment that I have in my store and a few poinsetta flowers, a brad and branches that I punched out on white glitter catdstock. What do you think?

A Fairy Tale Come True

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a new creation and this one is for the following challenges:

• Cupcake Craft Challenge ... Theme is "Fairy Tales or Panto Season"
• Gingerloft Challenge ... Theme is "Great Outdoors"
• Simon Says Stamp Challenge ... Theme is "Sparkle"
• Stampin For The Weekend ... Theme is "Winter"
• My Time To Craft Challenge ... Theme is "Window Fun"
• Pear Tree Design Challenge ... Theme is "Colorful"

For this card I used three images. The Fairtale Elf Shoe is from Zoe at Make It Crafty Digital Images. The Christmas Tree and Snowman are from Pattie's Creations Digital Images (that's me). I used Adobe Photoshop to combine the three digital images and colored them with my Copics. I love all the windows on the Elf shoe and the snow. I added 3D glitter paint to the snow, Snowman and the Trees. I also added more glitter to make it look like it is snowing along with some stars, snowball pearls, sparkly ribbon trim and a silver snowflake and flower. What do you think?

Baby's First Christmas

Hello everyone... I have a new creation for you today. I made this card for my new grandson Gavin for Christmas. I am entering it in the following challenges:

• Dutch Dare Card Challenge ... This is my DT inspiration and they have a sketch to follow.
• Charisma Cardz Challenge ... Theme is "Babys"
• Paper Players Challenge ... Theme is a Color Challenge (Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke & Neutral)

I used papers from a new 12 x 12 pack from My Minds Eye called "O Christmas Tree". The image is one of my new images called Pattieboops Holiday Bear. You can find my images here at my Etsy Shop. I colored my image using Adobe Fireworks and added some glitter glue to his hat and one foot. I added a couple of Christmas trees that I cut out from my cardstock pack. The one tall tree is in place of one of the shapes on the sketch from DDCC. I added some glitter flowers, gems and a sentiment to complete my creation. What do you think?

Snow Goddess... Let It Snow!

Hello everyone... I have a new creation and this one is for the following challenges:

• Michelle Perkett Studio ... "Anything Goes"
• Lexis Creations ... "Anything Goes"
• Crafty Calender ... "Winter Snowflakes"
• Flourishes Timeless Tuesday ... "Use Glitter"
• A Spoonful of Sugar ... "Snow/Snowflakes"

I made an easel card and used an image from Michelle Perkett called Snow Goddess. I love this image! I colored her using Adobe Fireworks and added some glitter to her fur. On the front I used my cuttlebug to emboss the green cardstock and my Snowflake embossing folder. I cut out the image with my Spellbinders circle scallop and added some Color Box Chalks around the scallops. I added some green glitter snowflakes that I cut out with one of my punches, glitter flowers, gems, pearls and glitter branches. On the inside I duplicated the papers, added a sentiment and more of the same embellishments as the front.

Clean & Simple

Hello everyone. Today I have a creation and this one is for The Dutch Dare Card Challenge. Their theme is "Clean & Simple". I used one of my brushes from Adobe photoshop to create this butterfly. I then saved it as a digital image. I converted it from a black image to a blue image in Photoshop. I used white cardstock and one of my Cuttlebug embossing folders. I added a sentiment and a piece of ribbon to complete my card.
