First Christmas card

I was thrilled to be asked to be a guest designer for the fabulous...

Jan's digi stamps.

I have been working with the set called Sugar n Spice. 

The great thing about this set, is that you get a really good bundle! 

Images to colour, ready-coloured images, sentiments...everything you need! 

This first card, I made with the uncoloured image -

I really enjoyed colouring this one myself! 

I coloured the image with my promarkers and other alcohol pens,

and used the sentiment I think my mum would love. 

(This card will be my Mum and Dad's Christmas card - my Mum loves to bake,

especially at Christmas)

All this image really needed, was a paper behind, to set it off. 

I inked the edges and drew on some faux-stitching. 

I also dry embossed a simple line around the edge of the white card.

A simple die-cut snowflake, underneath the sentiment, finished this card.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

I made a second card with this bundle, as I wanted to use a pre-coloured image too. 

One of my friends, who lives in Canada, loves baking too.

This will be on it's way to her soon!

I coloured the image with my promarkers and other alcohol pens

and used a different sentiment from the bundle. 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

 

Caramel apples / toffee apples

At Patties Creations this challenge, I used her image,

"Caramel Apple Trio."

 It's a great image to work with. 

I wanted each of the apples to look like to look

like the toffee apples here, as we call them. 

The centre red one is well covered with glossy accents 

just like our most traditional toffee apples, here in England, 

which are super crunchy and glossy with their red toffee coating.

I used promarkers and my other alcohol pens to colour the apples. 

My niece's name is made of little stickers which

I recently found as I have been tidying through my craft room.
