OSAAT CHALLENGE #252 - ANYTHING GOES WITH 'RED'

Hello happy Sunday peeps,

Here I am with what is my last creation as an OSAAT DT member. I shall be relinquishing my DT commitments after Christmas to focus on life and other schtuff. :-)

This time the Challenge is - 

#252 Anything Goes
 with RED

This challenge will run for one month to give our DT a welcome break over the Christmas Festivities.

The Sponsor for this weeks challenge is StitchyBear Digi Outlet with the December image and papers prize pack. 

This time I asked to work with "FIRE SERVICES PACK "  by COOSTY CREATIONS at STITCHYBEAR STAMPS as I wanted to make a tribute card to all the Firemen and women out there as a Thank You for everything they do.

Here is my card. I made one of those zig zag cards and added some extra embellies.

Well - thank you for visiting and I hope you will come over to OSAAT to see what my Teamies have made for you to see and to play along with us :-D

YaY !!! I AM THE QUEEN

Hello Peeps,
I am so pleased that I won the QUEEN OF SNARK for the last Challenge at SISTERHOOD OF SNARKY STAMPERS, and I was invited to be a Guest DT for this Challenge - X is for XMAS.

I used an image from the Freebie cat sheet I got - 'Fat Cat Fred Christmas Images' - which I got from Practical Publishing Australia. To snag your own sheet just click HERE.

The background paper was a FREEBIE from MEINLILAPARK and I also used up some snippets of papers from last year and a bit of shiny ribbon.

The Fat Cat was coloured with Promarkers.

Thank you for dropping by.

CHRIMBO CARDS 1

Good morning Peeps,
I am starting to work my way through a big Chrimbo card order and here I am with the first one.

I have used background papers by Wild Rose Studio and my images are " TUBBY TUMPLYN's SANTA HAT " and  " OUT IN THE COUNTRY " (which was a Freebie in October) and both are by SPYDER .

I coloured them with Promarkers and I made the country scene into a frosty winter one by leaving all the ground white and then adding some Stickles and a white Pen-Touch pen for snow.

I mounted everything on red card and placed Teddy Tumplyn on foamies to give him pop.

SPYDER is sponsoring my first ever Challenge over at the Cat Lovers' Challenge Blog which you can find HERE.

Thank you for popping in.

MAKING A MESS

Hello Saturday Peeps,
Well - it's absolutely peeing down here today and I got soaked to the skin when I took Dog up the mountain this morning. I think it just waited until I got up there and the Heavens opened. Dog actually legged it back and went into hiding under the car  - I guess he doesn't like rain ?!!! hahaha

Anyhoo - I am here to show a card I made this afternoon using some messy stuff - texture paste and alcohol inks and sprays :-D

I used a die cut as a stencil and the background is the silver foil lid from a take-away carton, which I embossed with a snowflake embossing folder.

I added some machine cut snowflakes and the main image is  Angel Statue from the " Ancient Cemetery "  Plate 56  by  DESTEMPELWINKEL.  I did her in blue ink twice and cut out the second image of the angel minus the wings to decoupage up for 3D pop. The sentiment circle I got today from Bross Artful Designs. I then stitched my card onto some blue Chrimbo paper and then mounted everything onto a white card.

So, now I have managed to get the inks and stuff off my fingers and I am a happy bunny :-)

My card was inspired by the Christmas Angel Song which I found on YouTube.... it's just gorgeous and you can listen to it HERE 

Thank you for popping in.
