Christmas card no.2

Here is my second card for the Friday Mashup challenge.  I used the same image but this time I had a go at the 'delft tile' technique and really like the effect.  I wasn't happy with the way my sponging turned out on my scrap pieces so I didn't sponge around the edges of each tile.  I like the way it turned out and the tile technique adds an extra bit of interest to the image.

I'm entering this in the Friday Mashup! challenge.

Tis the season to be jolly...

Well, it's not really Christmas time but I love this stamp so much and really wanted to use it.  Why not?!  I'm envious of those people who are clever enough to make Christmas cards all throughout the year so that they are totally organised with many handmade cards by December...well, now I have one card ready at least!  It's a good start.

I loved this sketch from Friday Mashup! and thought that the Santa stamp would work really well.  The stamp is a lot larger than the circle, but I just wanted Santa's face to fit. 

The Challenge this week at Friday Mashup! is:



The 'mashup' is to use the 'delft tile technique' on your card.  I haven't used the technique on this card but I am about to head off and have a go.  I've never done it before and I love the way it looks.  Hopefully I'll have another card to share soon using the technique.

I followed the sketch pretty closely, just changed the placement of the circle and sentiment.

Watercolour wash card

I had a lot of fun with this watercolour wash challenge.  I created a birthday card with a watercolour wash background to create a scene.  I am in love with the little bird stamps that I got the other day and can't stop using them!  They are so cute!

Once the background watercolour wash was done I simply stamped the birds, added the die cut fence and some twine and I was done! 

I am entering this card into two challenges:

The Friday Mashup: Challenge 167
Create a project with a watercolour wash.



AAA Cards: Challenge #10
PLAY create a card with watercolour techniques.
