Well I got to make a few Christmas things this past weekend and my desk is looking busy !Meet Magnus the Christmoose !
I bought the kit at the NEC the last weekend and had great fun painting the pieces and making him !
I plan to add a couple of Christmasmassy trimmings - but not until I get my decorations make it down from the roof space next month !
Next were a few Christmas cards ...These are decoupage cards in the Wellington At Christmas card making kit - I really do like this cute bear !!
And here are two cards using a technique we saw on the Inkylicious stand at the NEC - using an aperture stencil, pearlescent white ink pad and their stamps - plus a little Stickles for glitz !
And these are using Cardio stamps ...
Here is a new stencil I am playing around with ... I thought this was a really striking image ! I have added clear sparkly Stickles but it doesn't really show on this picture ...
And don't faint but I have finally finished my Scandi Christmas Quilt Topper ! Here it is lain across my bed - it is designed to fit across the centre of the Scandi throw I have for the bed - phew so glad to be finished !
Have a great crafty week !
