Monochrome angels.Time out challenges

 I've made another card using silhouette shapes from the pack in a previous post. This one is angels and is monochrome. I have a religious friend who is also musical so she will love this.

I'm entering it at Time out challenges where we are asked to pick 2. Mine is Monochromatic and CAS.

Jingle Belles.

 My next card is for Jingle Belles.

I have chosen to go across the middle:-flowers, red, ribbon.

Lasting Memories Tools.

 At Lasting Memories they want us to use a favourite tool. I have chosen my Xyron, which is used to make things stick on to your layout.

As Westminster Abbey is 900 years old I aged the layout using cold tea painted over the background. I also dipped the smaller flower in walnut ink. I decided to add a vine but adhering it to my layout was a challenge till I remembered the Xyron. I fed it through then wound it around my 2 photos' edge. 

silhouette cards

 

A friend gave me this incomplete pack of silhouette cards which has die cuts that are suitable to use on Christmas cards. The previous card was made with pinecones, but here are 2 more I made using snowmen.

I'm entering this at ABC Christmas challenge where they want no stamping.

I'm sure they will be used this Christmas.

This one is for Sketch n scrap.

Christmas cards all year round

 At Christmas cards all year round  they want something starting with P or Q.

I made a card featuring Pinecones.

This or that at Soul Scrappers.

 

Thius is the This or that challenge at Soul scrappers. I have done the yellow side.

I started by pasting dress pattern scraps randomly on the page.Next I painted using candy apple pink and metallic Sweet pea paint. After this dried I addedsnippets of lace and some chipboard chicken wire that I also painted with sweet pea.

I then found 3 small floral elements that matched the pink in the photos.I added my title "Bold and Bright" and a few clear rhinestones. My last thing was to dribble some purple mist to add more grunge.

Sketch challenge at Soul Scrappers

 

Heres the sketch for Soul Scrappers this month.

My background paper went well with the photo so I started there. One of the layers is an ampersand paper which is difficult to use. I've hidden it well. Next was 2 of 6x6 papers with pink butterflies. The circle is another 6x6 paper. The photo mat is another. My journaling is on a large cut apart from my kit. 

After doing my title I added some bowl stacks which were in a chipboard pack I used a couple of months ago. Since scanning this layout I added a butterfly flair top left. It matches the paper,
