Corry  I made a christmas card for your inspiration....

I used the beautiful stamp winterflurries from Polkadoodles.  I stamped the swirl with embossing ink and powder.   Then I stamped and masked the christmasballs.After that, I stamped the trees and added some accents here and there...


The stamp I used is winterflurries...

Jan ~ For my project today I have altered this cheapy frame, It started life out being white, I used black Gesso on it (at this stage my hubby asked why I did'nt just buy a black frame!!!) I used  a little Bronze Guilding wax over. On some black card stock I stamped using Distress inks. I finished off making some stars I used texture paste through a stencil , the used black gesso and again finishing off with guilding wax....

Polkadoodles Goodies used

Polkadoodles Essential Shopping


Terry For this month's challenge I have worked with bright colors, I played with different colors for the background and stamped with Distress Inks. I wanted to create a flowerarrangement with different clearstampsets. One of them is the Stamp Soup Regal Peacock, this set is really wonderfull to create your own flowers. On top of the flowers I have played with Accents to give the flowers a bit of 3D effect. Last but not least I placed the Sending Special Wished sentiment. 


The products that I worked with are:

Lou Sims: I have used a selection of Polkadoodles 'Believe in Angels' stamps & stencils -which is a huge collection - recently launched on Hochanda to create a stampbord photo frame. Stamps sets used: Flower Power 1 & Forever Special Angel alongside the 'Unicorn & Rainbows' stencils . A step by step tutorial can be found on my blog along with matching photos.

Now let's check out the inspiration from our talented design team...

GDT Katrina For me, all paths lead to the barn/manger animals for Christmas Eve!  This adorable angel is called Little Tree and she and her little lamb are so perfect traveling off to the barn with her lantern for the evening.  
These Angels are available in a Big Kahuna Full Winnie Angel Set, a Big Kahuna Colored Winnie Angel Set, and a Big Kahuna Digi Stamp Winnie Angel Set.  I chose to work with the digital stamp and color her with Copic markers and gel pens.  
The gorgeous paper is from Belle Papillon.  The path is made of letters from Sticks and Bones and the beautiful lyrics are from Winnie in Winterland.  
Barn paper is Painted Wood.  The barn is actually the church (with some modifications) from Love and Kisses!  
I added some stamping, laces, burlap, twine, star embellishments, splatter painting, button, crocheted flower, and inks from my stash.


  
Jan I have recently discovered my love for canvas's ~For this one I painted over with Ecoline's , then using rice paper and stamps , a script stamp , Stencil with Oxides ,some glass buttons, a few pearls. I made the hanger from flower wire , made a paper dress and attached a flower and some bling
