Lil Christmas Lad Luca Preview

Welcome to day 2 of the Tickled Pink Lil Christmas previews. Today I am very pleased to introduce you to Lil Luca.Isn't he handsome? The dark side of this image really appeals to me! When I was making this card I could hear Edwards (twilight fan here) voice singing come stand under the mistletoe with me, LOL!

As soon as I saw it I imagined a vintage card and have been hanging out to use it. So I sat down  to make my card and BLOCK comes my way. I really should have got up and done something else but being the stubborn person that I am I had to keep at it. I think I ended up cutting through a few sheets of paper, twisted and turned my card in all angles and directions until I finally came up with an idea. The design of my card ended up being really simple but somehow I think it suits. I have also used the cracked glass effect on my card and think it also suits it well.

I have been inspired by Kellie's cards that have the Lacy/frilly edges and decided to give that a go.

Now of course this would not be a Tickled Pink preview without prizes so be sure to stop by Tickled Pink and see what Kellie has to offer.

The Lil Christmas range will be available from Tickled Pink store next week.

Thanks for stopping by, until next time xoxo

Willow meets Sketch & Stash

Hi all again. Hopefully you have all had a great week, mine seems to have flown by and it appears it is now Thursday evening and I have no idea how I got here! If anyone can fill me in on the last few days that would be great, LOL!!!

Late this afternoon I was itching to play, isn't it funny some weeks you don't get the inkling at all but others it is at you all the time, so I decided to join in the current challenges at Tickled Pink (using Ribbon/s) and Sketch & Stash:

 

I have had this patterned paper sitting in my stash for so long now I can not even remember where I brought it from. However I do know that it is called Red Olives from Jenni Bowlin Studios, not a brand I have heard of before, but I think it matched the theme of this card quite well. I have used Willow from the Lil Lolita range which you can buy here and coloured her with my copic markers, ribbons, rhinestone and flowers I also had laying in my stash and of course it would not be one of my cards without some hand stitching (I just feel  the stitching seems to bring all the layers together).

Off to work tomorrow and then its the weekend so I will be back on Sunday night (if I don't get a chance to be back before) with my last Guest DT Card for Anyone for Anya. Did you hear that the lovely Dawny is handing the blog over? She feels that she is not spending enough time with her family and sometimes something has to give. It would be great if we could get lots of people over for her last few challenges as a farewell for her.

Anyhow I better dash.

Until next time xoxo
