Girl from Brazil

1. The girl from Brazil is my lovely granddaughter in law whose birthday it is on Wednesday. The card is a pre-embossed card from my stash which I have sponged in distress ink crushed velvet. The panel is made by using one of Anna's stencils which has been spread with Imagination Crafts Sparkle Gel using a palette knife. After carefully peeling off the stencil the panel was left overnight to dry. 
2. When it was dry I sponged the entire panel with distress inks Milled Lavender and Pumice Stone. While still wet it was flicked with water. Using a wild grass stamp which had been inked up with the Milled Lavender I stamped at random on bottom of panel. With copics I then coloured the stencilled image leaving the tips of the flower buds white. I then mixed some white mica powder with a small amount of water and painted the tips of the buds.

Cutie Robin

I just love this stamp Robin by Stampendous
It's one of my all time favourites, he's so cute
This Christmas card is for my friend, the same one who I made the birthday card for. I stamped two of the images and reversed another one. All were coloured with distress inks barn door and weathered wood. Two of them I cut out. The background papers are from LOTV. I cut out icicle, fir branches and poinsettia dies. The icicles and fir branches I embossed with white sparkling embossing powder which gives a beautiful frosty look. The red poinsettia flowers I edged with glitter glue. The fence and log that the extra robins are sitting on come from a Hobby Art set Reindeer. Painted with weathered wood mixed with barn door, the snow was liquid appliqué in White which was heated and sprinkled with glitter. Sentiment typed out on my computer finishes it off. Hope she likes it.
