Our new challenge at LHOSM is.................

GLITTER IT UP!!

A very quick and simple card this week - I had a disaster and had to make a new card.  

The story of my life this week .

I used the Tilda from the 2014 Christmas set. I coloured her from Copic Markers  and added the sentiment with from the same set.

I fortunately found some glitter card which matched the image perfectly - and that was it - card made very quickly instead of my usual a couple of days.

Lifelong crafters Mother and Daughter, Mary and Andrea were tired of having to buy full rolls of ribbon and lace when they only needed one metre.  Because they love ribbons and all things pretty, they decided to open their own online shop in 2010 and make small quantities of beautiful products easily available to all crafters. Mary owns the shop and runs it on a day to day basis as well as keeping the website updated while Andrea looks after the social side,  The Ribbon Girl Blog and the Design Team. They specialise in supplying small (or large) quantities of ribbon, twine, gorgeous vintage style lace and seam binding ribbon, tiny pom-pom and ric-rac trim, all sorts of buttons, fancy pins, a multitude of charms, pearl and crystal flourishes, wool felt squares, seasonal and unusual embellishments, mulberry flowers, sticky tape and accessories to card makers, crafters, scrapbookers and cake decorators. They stock only the best quality products and only offer for sale goods that they would personally buy and use themselves.

Simon Says.......Let it Snow!!

Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

This week the challenge is

LET IT SNOW

We are showcasing Art Impressions Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

For the showcased Art Impressions Products this week I've been chosen Angel Spinner.

I've seen a similar design somewhere and do wish I'd paid some attention as it was made by 'Trial and Tributions' . I am going to make another tomorrow and add a Tutorial then I will now know how to make it again.

I have used a Shades of Gray as a background to show the card itself.

I've cut the a circle from both pieces of the card for the Angel  to spin through with May Arts Silver Metallic string. I coloured the image with Copic Markers and surrounded her with Snowflakes and stars. 

From above shows the design

A close up for the front and back of the images.
