I've blended some pastel pinks and blues over some shimmery pearlescent white card using my blending brushes and then layered a hearts die in the same pearl white card on top. The sentiment is cut using a die which I've outlined using my Silhouette. It's all layered onto some of my favourite purple card and a slimline cardbase.

Still in Christmas mode, I've made this simple navy and white card to share with you today. The navy snowflake border is cut using a Whimsy Elegant Snowflake border and I've used three of the mini cut out circles to frame my sparkly white gems. The Chrismtas sentiment is a Honey Bee die layered in the same colour theme. I've embossed the base card with a Whimsy Holly embossing folder for added texture.

Well, I hope you've all had a lovely Christmas. I think I may have eaten myself into a Mince Pie coma because I've been feeling a little tired this week. We've pottered out for a few walks, but to be honest, the weather's been awful, so that's mostly ended up with damp boots and coats to dry out when we get home. I think it's forecast to rain again tomorrow, so I doubt we'll be going far. I've taken the opportunity to have a bit of a tidy up of my craft items and declutered a few things that I haven't used in years, like old peel-offs and things that I had optimistic visions of up-cycling. It's not thinned it out much, but there's a bit more space for my newer things now!
For the card I'm sharing today, I watercoloured 3 different images from Whimsy's Santa's Train stamp set to create a concertina card. I love these tags and they're perfect to create this kind of fancy-fold card. I hope you like it.

I've used Whimsy Stamps Gnome for Christmas on today's circle shaped card, and a little plaid paper from MFT. I love the circle shape, but to stop it 'rocking' I've cut a sliver off the base of the back of the card to give it a bit of stability!

I've got one final page left to share with you from my planner (which turned out to be a labour of love, as the pages took a while to plan out themselves!) This one features Bundles of Hugs from Whimsy Stamps, watercoloured as usual. I thought he was a autumnal kind of image so he's been used to decorate September's page.
