Artful Times Challenge 45

          Artful Times challenge-45

I've only just found Artful Times Blog:)  I'm still looking at all the eye candy and blog hopping. 

The challenge this month is soo easy I thought I would enter!

My Spellbinder die collection is growing beautifully. I love this set which cuts a beautifully ornate aperture.

 This card was made by simple cutting and layering the die out of Ivory linen card. Add gold border freehand with a metallic pen. Mount onto folded Ivory card with pop dots for dimension. Cut Ponsettia from red card. Cut from Gold embossed card. Layer and add gold brads to centres. Add a bit of Icicle stickles to some of the petals.   I used the dreaded happy christmas peel offs because I ran out of time.

Looks very elegant for such a quick and easy card:) 

Claritystamp challenge 10

Here's my card for this month's challenge.

 Getting everything in perspective is a challenge for me when it comes to scene building. 

 They say practice makes perfect. That's my personal challenge for 2014.

 Then maybe I'll be able to do some scenes on canvas for my kids next Christmas. 

Ah well, I can dream, can't I?
