New Baby - Concertina Card - Winter Wonderland DT, Crafters Companion, Sugar Nellie, Wee Stamps, Mo's Digital Perncil

Good morning and welcome. I'm here today with a new card for the Winter Wonderland challenge, with the theme chosen by Lena, of 'Pastel Colours.

A friend asked me to make a card for a baby who has finally been discharged from the premature baby ward.  So this is what I created.

This card features the gorgeous Bambino stamp from Sugar Nellie.  I made a concertina card with the dies from Crafter's Companion. I really love this image.  The fancy scroll work around the edges are an extra to compliment the main die. The dangly bits are from my stash and are a dummy, angel, teddy bear and a pram.

As you can see he is called Joey, and the letters I added are from TLace stepper card dies.

The centre features images from Mo's Digital Pencil, Wee stamps and Lily of the Valley toppers.

It has 6 pages and as I didn't have thick enough card I ended up cutting 12 and gluing them together.

I coloured the images with Triamarkers, Flexmarkers and Promarkers.

We are being sponsored this week by Di's Digital Stamps and they are giving the winner a $12 gift voucher to spend in store.

The other Snowflakes ladies have created some amazing cards for your inspiration this week and I hope you will check them out here.

Thanks for taking the time to look , don't forget to check back on Monday for the winners of the last challenge

Can I start by welcoming my new followers. I am honoured to have you join my site.

Today is the start of a new Challenge at Winter Wonderland where our theme this week is ' Christmas Shopping'.  It has to be a Christmas card to enter. 

I decided to use a favourite Sugar Nellie image 'Fifi goes shopping'.

The frame is a SB timeless rectangle and the corners are MB.  Ribbon and trim from my stash. Everything was distressed with walnut stain, and I added lots of glistening snow writer for the snow. Backing papers from LOTV.

Annabel - Sugar Nellie

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to my new follower Fae.

I have been asked a few times about the colours I use for hair. For light blonde hair I use Promarkers Sandstone, Buttercup, Daffodil Bloom and Egg Nog.  To make it a little darker I add Pineapple Crush and Carmel and Flexmarkers in Cappucino and Champagne.

For red hair as in today's card I use Chestnut, Terracotta, Raw Sienna, Amber and Ginger or a combination of these. (I think I may have added Umber to this one)

I was also asked about the background scene I added to my 'Goldie 2' card. It's from Sassy Studio Designs but unfortunately when I checked back it has been discontinued.

So onto today's card which has been coloured up for ages, but I'm not sure about it as the edges of the hair appear choppy. It's Annabel from Sugar Nellie.

She is cut with a Marrianne die, which was coloured up with distress ink in the die, and layered up onto co-ordinations which has been embossed. The pearls are from my stash and the flowers from WOC. The leaves are a Crealies die.

She is of course coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers and a little Prisma pencil.
