Musing!
Thought I would sneak in some challenge inspiration and as usual Michele never fails to deliver at this week’s MUSE and here it is in all it’s fabulousness!
I kept the basic sketch very similar although changed the orientation of the card and was wondering if would you could call a pig cute? Well I think that this one is! I also added a ‘slightly’ bold sentiment….
This card also fits the bill over at Simon Says Stamp’s Wednesday Challenge for Diecember, where it’s time to go ‘Die Crazy’, and as you know I loves my dies! A word of warning though, I’m back tonight with a video for Altenew so I’ll see you again real soon!
Other Supplies: Shape N Tape – Silver. Stamps – Close To my Heart – Animal Greetings Operation Smile. Prismacolor Pencils – Warm Grey 10%, Cool Grey 50%, Deco Pink. Pink Rhinestones. Cardstock – Taffy.

One more time…
Okay, so I’m on holidays and this challenge couldn’t have come at a better time, I’ve had so much fun playing with my MFT stamps and have finally decided that I need to ‘upgrade’ my watercolours. I’ve been holding off but obviously the fad is not passing for me, so it’s time to invest. Now to choose, there are so many out there and it’s only for card making… so, maybe, I need them all lol.
Here is my final contribution to the Card Design Superstar Contest at My Favorite Things. Oh, did I tell you that I’m still liking gold?
Sadly I’m back to work tomorrow, so hunkering back underground, but with a few cards now made in advance ready to roll, cross my fingers I find just a little play time. Thanks for the visit, I’m back with a SB video tomorrow. Hugs
Other Supplies: Cardstock – Gold mirror. Foam – red 2mm.

Video : Beware the Gold!
Today’s video is about Double Embossing in Gold, I just can’t enough gold at the moment! You can blame Pinterest for this colour combo… Well, at least for the start which was the pink & gold combo, I have absolutely no idea where the red came from, but once I got it in my head, I just had to have it!
You can see my video here or Watch it at Youtube.

Video : Colour Ellie with ‘U’!
