My First Pick of the week

Hi Folks it's Tania here with my first pick of the week.
I am so glad to join the team here at the Dragons Den.
The image that I have used has come from the fabulous Stamping Dragon Designs Shop .

There are some fabulous images that you can purchase and once you buy one you will be hooked.

For my first image I have chosen
a wonderful
Christmas image
and made up a classic Christmas card
I sized the image to the 5 x 8 cm which gives me 12 image per sheet, I coloured the bauble with Promarkers  and decoupaged the wild roses.
The Images are mounted on 3d foam a gem added to the hanger and suspended off a gold peel off.
I used an embossed 6 x 6 pearlised card mounted onto a 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 card mounted on to a 7 x 7 inch card blank in black. To finish the card off I added a bow and edged the card in gold glitter peel offs.
Hope you liked my card made with the beautiful bauble image.

Make sure you pop on over to the Shop and have a browse , there is a great selection of Christmas Images available for you to choose from.

Hogs N Kisses

Hi Folks its Sunday, where do the weeks keep going, 
its now less than 60 days to Christmas.
Today here is my  inspiration,


 using the New release
from Imagine That

I have coloured the tree and pigs with promarkers and decoupaged the pigs on the tree . to finish off I added stickles glitter glue. I have used the  backing paper and added extra snowflakes and gems.
The sentiment is from the same set that I have changed the colour in Paint.net. Thanks to Kris telling me how to do it.
I have to admit this image was my idea 
and I asked Kris to draw it and it is wonderful
This would be an ideal card for the man in your life
 or someone with a good sense of humour.

The backing paper is from Li'l Bits O'Christmas
Check these out there are some wonderful papers

The clock reminds me of the White rabbit the large leaves look like Tweedledum & Tweedledee, the top leaf is like Alice falling and the checker board is like the table cloth.
The image is from Gingerloft which I coloured with Promarkers and added glossy accents
to the stopwatch and leaves.
To create the background I used a Stamps Away mask and added gilding wax to the embossed area.
