Surfin Santa - Dr Digi for Through the Craft Room Door Design Team

Hello friends and visitors

Today I am sharing my card for Through the Craft Room Door challenge and this week are sponsored by the amazing Dr Digi, where you can win two of his designs, there are so many to choose from. I had trouble choosing an image! So I look forward to seeing all your creations for this Anything Goes challenge.

So here is my card...

I used the following Surfin Santa digi image which you can find here, the papers 'surfs up' were also Dr Digi and you can find them here. I coloured the image with my Promarker's onto Neenah Classic card, the sentiment is a really old Pink Gem stamp and I embossed it with white embossing powder. Everything else from my stash.

I hope to see you all join in with the challenge and see you all soon.

Hello friends

I know I've been AWOL, but I have a really good excuse! I spent 11 days in Trearrdur Bay, North Wales, looking after a friends dog. The weather was pretty awful, cold, rain and wind. So please accept my apologies for not getting to see your blogs and commenting, I will catch up. Anyway, I have a card to share with you today and here it is...

So I used a very old, 8+ years stamp and embossed it using white embossing powder (I still need more practice on this technique.) This is one of my favourite Christmas stamps, but I've always had trouble stamping with it! So I decided to take it off the wooden mount and attach it to some EZ Mount and then used my Vaessen Stamp Easy to stamp the card, so much better. I embossed the sentiment using a red glitter embossing powder and attached it to red card and then raised it off the card which I must admit is pretty awful, I need to invest in a plain red one. The sentiment does say Christmas Cheer! I mounted it all on to red card and then raised it on to a white 5x7 card blank and used white glitter embellishments dotted about.

Thank you for taking the time to visit and have a great rest of the week and I'll see you all soon.
