Embossed Christmas
This is my last Christmas card posted for 2018. It was the last one I made ... and I made 10 of them for the staff at my MIL's care home.

CASe-ing Alex
There is so much wonderful inspiration out there ... and it wonderful to actually get round to bringing it to life in my studio.
I was so inspired by Alex Syberia's colours, and since I had the same stamp, thought I would use the same as hers.
I decided to only do 1 flower as I was using the standard size card. This also gave space for the sentiment and a light background. I used Distress Inks as watercolour.

Gift Box of Cards
A Christmas wrapped box of cards ... a gift for friends who love getting cards.
I made a pizza style box. Simple, but elegant.
This card stock has a wonderful metallic shimmer, and it's quite thick and sturdy.

Stocking Fillers ...
It's an oldie, but a goodie and too much fun not to repeat! Snowman Poop Tic Tacs ... a sweet stocking filler.
It's thanks to Whimsie Doodles for the digital images.
I colour mine to suit the recipient's favourite colour. The set for my book club...

Tea is the Best Time
I love my tea, so had to play with this set just once more before the end of the year.
The gingham "ribbon" is actually a stamp - a golden oldie from Hero Arts!

Holly
The last CASology Challenge of the year has the Christmas theme of HOLLY as the cue word. This is a 2 week challenge.
I was inspired by Julie to use the Modern Tree (stamped in a zig zag fashion) as a border.
Adding Glossy Accents to the berries really makes them pop!

Christmas Trees
My first Black Friday purchases arrived yesterday ... so had to use them, else I will have to wait for next Christmas.
Some lovely shimmer on the white tree with Nuvo glitter gloss and Glossy Accents on the hearts, and white enamel accents on the green trees.

Confetti Macarons
Mixing up some more old and new stamp sets.
Although the confetti stamp is not officially a turnaround stamp, I stamped and rotated the confetti 3 times.
I added Tonic Nuvo Glitter Gloss to add some sparkle to the tag.

Island Nativity
I love this set from WPlus9 ... Christmas in the original atmosphere. Plus with the palm trees, they could also give an island feel (coconut trees) which is wonderful when sending cards from Mauritius.
I coloured the background with Distress Inks as watercolour. The rest was done with Copics.

Year in Review - June
I love the colours of the June challenge of Altenew Inspiration Challenge.
I combined some of my "older" stamps with my new ones. So happy to use my new Leaf Medallion set. The dots are from the Happy Dreams set and the Circled Sentiment Set.
I added glossy accents to make the circles pop.

A Cool Christmas
When you're sweltering on a tropical island, it's easy to wish for a cool and frosty Christmas.
This is my card for the CASology Challenge with the cue word NORTH. As this is a 2 week challenge, you have another week in which to submit your card.
There is quite a bit of dimension with the tags ...
... and I have some inset dies, and some with the glitter paper from below shining through.
You can pop on over to the rest of the design team to see their inspiring designs.

Inked Flora
Today I'm taking a break from Christmas projects and going back to florals. I love the sketchy feel to this stamp set.
