I have use the image called Tails of True Love. I wanted to make an engagement card so I adapted this to winter schene. This is colvered with Copics.

The paper are from Donna's Bearly Mine and I cut the small trees from Marianne and glittered with Doodlebug Sugar Coating and I use the Simon Says Stamps are Holiday Shapes to scatter little hearts around.

hAnglar for Christmas

 

I have used my little hAnglar boy for the Lovely hAnglar  challenge - I did intend to do the little girl but I round it in my file - made last year - never posted (obviously) and not as far as I remember posted it.

Since I had to start a new blog I'm not going to search for it so I have added it on the top of this post.

I have used a hAnglar Christmas image and  coloured it from distress inks using.

The flowers are a mixture and topped by a Impression Obsession die Snowflake - the leaves are Prima Lustered Leaf Sprays White.

Corners are coloured with white  Adirondack Acrylic  paint dabber and added lace and on the innter added the hAnglar wreath - part of the collection.

I couldn't resist making the images pretty much the same but I did make the little boy green mount rather that pink.

One of my farourite things are making boxes, etc, especially around Christmas.

 I am one of  a 'Tool' fanatic!!

There are some that I couldn't live with out Scoring Board, Tonic Guillotine,  Tim Holtz punch , Glue Glider, a Xyron Sticker and definitely a  Cuttlebug and/or Big Shot.

If I lost or broken any of these items I fell like I have had my arm chopped off . My cuttlebug broke (worn out I think) - now I have two Die cutters - can't be left without again!!!!

The have used an easel card as my box lid and used House Mouse Holiday Smooch coloured with  Copics. The Papers are Magnolia's Christmas

I used my Tonic Guillotine and Scoring Board making the box and created a lip with a Martha Stewart Layered Archers.

Tim Holtz punch  used for tiny bits from out of the die cuts of Magnolia Leaf and Swirl,  Martha Stewart Himalayan Snowflake and Simon Says Stamps are Holiday Shapes once cut with either my  Cuttlebug.
