Deer and Owl Friends in the woods

Hi to all my dear friends,

Well it is time for the lovely monthly technique to learn something new!

This  Months Technique Challenge across at 

SweetStamps.com!!! 

KISSING

Just a reminder that this challenge lasts until 14 February

The monthly challenge at SweetStamps Challenges is focused on techniques and will run from the 15th of the current month to the

14 of the next month.

You have a chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate to spend on lovely nice goodies at the 

SweetStamps.com

You get an extra chance to win when you use a SweetStamps image on your creation.

**All of these techniques and more can be found on the TUTORIALS page of our website** 

Well here is my take on it!

I made a base card out of Cream Card Stock

I layered with Kraft Paper

I used a corner punch to punch the wedges on the four corners of my DP were I added 

my Brown String

How I made my Own Stamps 

 

The dies I used is a couple of SweetCutz Dies, 

Owl Friends and Classy Deer

I used Funky Foam to cut the dies out to create my stamp

To make my foam stamp stick I used this spray to adhere my

Stamps to the acrylic blocks

The Kissing Technique

With the stamps I made I used SweetStamps Shades:

 Buttercup and Brownie

To do the Kiss Technique I Stamped up my stamp with the

light color first and then with my small accent stamp from SweetStamps.com Decorative Elements in the darker shade

I did this with my Owls and my Deer.

I used the same die's again and cut out my Images after I done the Kissing Technique

Then I had to put my Card together!

I layered Kraft Paper onto Cream Card and then onto 

Brown Handmade paper and adhere my Owls and my Deer to it

I cut another set of dies out of Brown Handmade Paper and just shadow my main Kissed images

I used the lovely Die from SweetCutz Elegant Leaves and cut the leaves out of Handmade Brown Paper and Tan Card

I framed the top left of the Owls with the Leave Dies and 3 S Roses and finished off with a Pearl

Added another 3 Pearls above the Deer

I made a bouquet with roses and Satin flowers and added string,

Die cut leaves, Skeleton Leaves and a bow made with Natural Hessian

I had fun with this new Kissing Technique I hope to go and try it!!

Hi My dear Friends!

Merry Belated Christmas to every body!

Sorry this post is a bit to late to wish you all a Merry Christmas, but we are still in the season of Joy and Happiness so I can still wish you all the best with your families and dear friends all over the world!!

I am still having a fantastic Christmas! We stopped over at my son's Huntly and his wonderful little family for our Christmas meal! Wow what a meal! The food was amazing!  We took breaks in between the different courses and an excuse for another glass of wine! For afters there was lovely board games and what fun we had!

We left them about midday and gone to a small town called Crieff in Perthshire, Scotland. We are staying here for a few days.  I decorated the motorhome a Scandinavia theme Red and White, and we love it! it is so festive! The fragrant candles that are burning give off this lovely Christmas aromas. I just love Christmas time!!!

a Pink Embossing powder to match my DP papers

I cut my Lady out and stuck her to the small Oval I cut out from the DP papers

I used a Grand Decorative Ovals die to cut around my Oval Stamped Images

I colored her in with a Promarker in "Satin"

After I layered the DP papers onto Pink card and rapped a satin Pink ribbon in the middle

of the backing layer I glued it to my base card and glued my main images to that

I used the same Marianne Design Corner die as for the corners and and 

cut 2 corners in the mint green but just used a part of the die

to bring a bit of the Green onto the Pink Silk ribbon

I added 2 Green Pearls

These lovely Marianne Design Corner Dies is so 

delicate and cut to perfection

I used Pink card to cut 4 corners and added it to my corners
