Papertrey December Blog Hop Challenge...

Hope you all had a FABULOUS Christmas!

I was so excited to discover I had time to spend a day with my kiddies enjoying the Boxing Day sales (except for the parking which was diabolical LOL!), AND a chance to play along with Papertrey December Blog Hop Challenge (not the least bit diabolical!), thanks to the time difference!

The December theme is Silver and Gold - so on trend! With all my Christmas cards out of the way, I was inspired by this gorgeous celebration cake, with all its layered circles. Created using a base of white cardstock splattered with Heidi Swapp Gold, diecut with silver glitter paper Papertrey Ink circle heart die cut (tree top) and Stitched Circles, added a touch of gold thread, and Papertrey Ink Wet Paint sentiment in superfine silver embossing powder.

Also playing along with Crazy for CAS Anything Goes,

Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes, and Dies R Us Anything Goes.

Keep It Simple with Ombre...

I can't wait to see what you create for this fortnights Keep It Simple Ombre Challenge. I broke out my Gelatos again to create this watercoloured ombre background. The cute little owl and friend from Hero Arts Operation Write Home Lil Hoot, was stamped in Versamark Watermark and Zing Copper embossing powder and coloured with Copics (N0, N3, E00, E03, E37, YG03, YG17, B95, and BG11). The Hero Arts Find Joy sentiment, was also stamped in Versamark Watermark and Zing Copper embossing powder.

You can catch some more FABULOUS DT Ombre inspiration over at Keep It Simple.

Playing along with A Blog Named Hero Ombre Challenge and Crazy for CAS Watercolour too!
