Creative Expressions Xmas Thursday.

Morning all.

Here we go with some more Christmas goodies taken from the recent showing on C&C TV.
I hope you enjoy them , I know I thoroughly enjoyed making them for you as always.

This first one is one of the demo's I did on air with the negative space from the die cuts of the peace doves by Couture creations and our Mallow and clover misting inks, I used the sentiment stamps from the Just Rite Christmas post set of stamps.

 I used the vintage label seven to cut out the sentiment and I flipped over the die and drew around it and cut It with scissors to create a faux nestie mat with black card. I created the backing by simply dabbing the ink through the negative space from the dove die cut onto a piece of card then covering it in sticky adhesive tape and covering that in the glitter jewels I then took the same sprays and used them with a paint brush to add to the edges of the wings and to frame the image before matting and layering in the same white card stock and adding some ribbon and spritzing one of the white flowers in mallow to bring in the colours through out the card.

 A close up of the clean crisp die cutting on the doves and I used them at a slight over lap with the back ground to create a shadow behind them in the pink.

Here is the bow I made using the gorgeous and very elegant ribbon on the show in a real vintage gold colour.  I loved this one.

Ok next is a complete contrast in terms of colour so here it is.

 I used clear embossing on Plum card stock for this one and I just love that tone on tone look it is totally amazing and very shiny. I also used the mixed Christmas blessings from Just Rite for the sentiment.

 Here is a close up on the Couture Creations central die cut element and my little ribbon tag for the centre with the die cut on it. Also that gorgeous ribbon again.

I thought I would do a long shot with the lights on so you could really see the shine on the embossing powder which was also from Creative Expressions. I had no problem matching up and repeating the pattern from the background stamp for the backing image on the card too.

Ok that is all for today, I hope you enjoyed this Christmas twofer and I will see you very soon.

Hugs for now 

Love
