The Stampman's Annual Awards

Hello again I know 2 posts in one day I must be coming down with something haha,well over at The Stampmans blog they are having their 3rd Annual Awards and would like to see your best project of the past year so I thought I would give it a try.There will be a first prize and 4 runner ups if anyone would like to join in too.

I have decided to go with this card below as I was really happy with the way it turned out as it was my first Steampunk style card and I used lots of distress inking and heat embossing on this one and it was heaps of fun to make and the response from your comments were fabulous too so thats the reason for my choice.

Have a wonderful evening everyone

Christmas With Tilda and Finally Some Colouring

Good Evening Crafting friends well I know what your thinking 'whoopee she actually got those markers out' and yes I have it seems like ages since I did any colouring and so I really enjoyed colouring these two images sent to me by the lovely Loz in the candy I won on her blog.I have kept this one pretty simple.I have coloured using promarkers and I highlighted the snow and Tildas trims with glitter,the paper is from papermanias joyeux noel a set they released last year,the border through the middle has been done using a martha stewart punch ,I used nestabilities and finished off with some ribbon and red gems.

I hope you like it.I know you don't see that many Tilda's on my blog but she does creep in now and then and to be really honest I couldn't possibly afford them all there always seems to be new ones every time i look round lol.
