Hi all, today I would like to show you some Keepsake Christmas baubles, one each for Rosanna and Morgan and one for us, one side has a coloured image and the other side is for a photo I hope to take on Christmas day. This is a tradition each year I buy some Christmas decoration so when they leave home they will have a selection of goodies for their own trees.
This is a look at them before I put them in the plastic bauble as it was hard to get a photo without a reflection, you know what I mean lol! They are coloured using copics available from Sammi over at the Mad for Markers Store. You still have a day and a half to enter our Anything Goes Challenge here
I have glittered around the edges and here and there lol!
The background has been embossed, then distress inks and glimmermisted. (These are the inserts from some window cards I have made.
just had to have a purple dressed snowman lol!
This is Santa inside the bauble, I have put the date on the top. I am going to buy some flowersoft, as the sparkly fluff was too fine and give it a snowy ground.
The two snowmen (just had to have a purple one lol!)
Took a class with Jennifer McGuire on using distress ink and learnt quite a bit, this is my interpretation of her window card. Added a few pearls on the embossed background. The snowman is heat embossed and I added a little more colour with my copics.
After embossing and colouring I used sandpaper to take the colour off the top of the dots to make them white.
The glimmermist really adds a beautiful sparkle
Finally a couple of simple, sparkly gift tags
Challenges
Shirley-Anne's get organised for Christmas Challenge, I am so way behind!
