A dragon for Christmas...


Here is my card for our present challenge of Anything Goes with a sentiment at Aud Sentiments - my last one as in the new year I'm moving on from the team.  It's been great working with some really talented lovely people, but I really want to concentrate on my scrapbooking more.  I will miss them all.
Anyway how cute is this guy - he is called Flamesnort and is available from Lacey Sunshine stamps. Just a cute character in his way too big Santa Hat.  I love him.

 Coloured with Spectrum Noir pencils and mat and layered onto a stepper card base with a computer generated sentiment.

 I would have entered some more challenges but my silly laptop is playing up big time and keeps loosing pages altogether.
Grrr - hope Santa thinks I've been good and brings me a new one.

Sweet Pea Blog Hop...


Oh such sad news - Sweet Pea Stamps are closing down.  Over the last few years they have been one of my favourite companies - I will miss the challenges, the Facebook group and the amazing stamp range big time.  As a thank you to Lynette for all she has done over the years a few of us decided to have one final blow out blog hop.  
My Blog Hop contribution uses a really cute digi stamp by Conie Fong called Joy to the World  - if you are quick you can still buy this with a massive 35% off, but the shop closes tonight at midnight so hurry hurry hurry!


Other materials used...
  • snowflake tree die by Britannia Dies
  • snowflake border trim by Couture (free gift from Create and Craft at NEC)
  • gems, organza ribbon and computer generated sentiment
  • silver and blue mirri card plus white card base
As a treat I am offering one Sweet Pea rubber stamp from my collection. To enter in the draw for the stamp please comment on this post before the weekend when I will put all the names in a hat and draw out one lucky winner.  
Here's the stamp...
