This month we are welcoming the lovely and super talented Lee Ann Barrett aka Greyt Paper Crafts into the Designer Spotlight. Please pop over to Lee Ann's Blog to give her a warm welcome and to leave some love :-)

I used Hibiscus Frame, Big Friend, Stitched Squares Dies and White and Lipstick Red Card Stock to create a shaker card!

For the background I used a Leafy Frame Stencil to emboss the design and while the stencil was still in place I stamped Good Reading text with Smoke Grey Ink.

I blended Candied Apple and Spiced Marmalade ink onto a separate panel and popped that behind the frame and added some moonshine sequins in the shaker. 

and I finished the inside.

ABC Christmas 'N' and 'O' Challenge

Hi all and welcome back to a new theme on the ABC Christmas Challenge! If you have been joining us from the beginning of the year you should have a healthy box of cards ready to use! If not then maybe you should think about joining in, there are only 174 days left to go!

The lovely Helen is our hostess for this month and the themes are 

'N'  for Name
and/or 

'O' for On something, 
(Skates, Sledges, Trees etc)

 For the 'N' for Names I made a pair of tags using a Neat & Tangled Winter Wishes Stamp Set 

I used Faded Jeans and Broken China Distress Oxide Inks for the background and when the ink was dry I used White Pigment ink and 3D Sparkle Puff Embossing Powder for the image. 

'O' for On On Dasher, On Dancer, On Prancer and Vixen ;-) 

I used a Tim Holtz Globe and Christmas Village Die Sets. For the background I used the same Faded Jeans and Broken China Distress Oxide Inks, masking the circle behind the globe so that I could separate the colours. I then spritzed and splattered with water and inks. I used a Simon's Exclusive Falling Stars Stencil and White Embossing Paste to create a starry sky and while the paste was still wet I sprinkled with dark blue and aqua glitters. 

We are sponsored by the lovely hostess Helen and she is giving this fabulous stamp away to one lucky winner 

AND
Neat&Tangled 

You have until 31st July to join in!
