Inchie and Card

Hello Everyone. Hope the weather is ok where you are and that you are not in a part of the UK that has floods. We have had lots of rain but nothing seems to be flooding so far.

Can't believe that it is Monday again already and time for another Inchie at Every Inchie Monday.


The theme for this week is 'Ballet' so I chose Swan Lake. Resized the swan image to fit the inchie then coloured the background to make it look like a lake.

I am still keeping up with Marina in the Christmas Card makes and using the wonderful 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenges as inspiration

The theme this week is 'dry and wet embossing' all on one card.

I used a Cuttlebug folder for the background of the card then stamped and embossed the tree image. The stamp is an old one by 'Anita's' and the gold embossing powder is Stamp-n-stuff, Gold Tinsel-opaque.

I added the sentiment which was on ribbon and the lace I coloured with a red Promarker.


Nice to have you pop in today and hope you enjoy whatever you are doing

Love Chrissie x

    Your swan is gorgeous, so serene. Love the card too (cheers me up to see something Christmassy)- fabulous idea to colour the lace with Promarkers.

    The swirl background reminds me of the snow blowing around outside my window! Lovely Christmas trees too! Thanks so much for playing along with 52CCT this week!

    Love the little swan (and the fact that you can see the paddling beneath the surface!)... and the card works beautifully with the pop of dimension for the trees over those lovely swirls.

Hi All. Thank you for visiting today and I hope you like what you see here. A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life. Art Journal Journey are still drawing me in with the artists inspired theme so here is yet another page for the challenge there.  This was inspired by Damien Hirst though years ago I didn't feel inspired by his work at all when I saw some of it for real at the Liverpool Tate Gallery. We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
