Guest Design for Tuesday Throwdown

Hi all, today I am very excited to share with you my first card as a Guest Designer for December for Tuesday Throwdown! I was honoured when Davi Reid at Alstromeria's Artistry asked me, and of course I said Yes!

This week the theme is Celebrate The Season, and we are being sponsored by Robyns Fetish digital stamp company, and I was given a lovely wintery image to play with.

I have used a white petal point card from Craftftwork Cards, and layered the stitched together backing papers on the base.


This little scene is called 'In the Cold' from Robyn's Fetish.



As it was such a wintery image, I just had to colour him in with icy blues and khaki browns. I then cut out with Nestabilities Circles large, and added some Glamour Dust for some sparkle.



The backing papers are from Nitwit Heavenly Collections, and the seam binding and Christmas rose are from The Ribbon Reel.


The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps, cut using a Nestabilities fancy tag.


Do drop by Tuesday Throwdown and see what gorgeous creations the Design Team have made!

Supplies Used:

Stamps: In the Cold - Robyn's Fetish; Compliments of the Season - Waltzingmouse Stamps

Ink: Frayed Burlap Distress Ink; Aspen Mist - Versamagic

Paper: Nitwits Heavenly Collection; Craftwork Cards Petal-point Card Base

Spellbinders: S4-116 Spellbinders Nestabilities Circles Small; S4-235 Spellbinders Shapeabilities Fancy Tags

Other: Sewing Machine; Glamour Dust; Gems; Flat Backed Pearls
