Christmas Tree....Oh! - It wasn't me! - New stamps with Creative Ember Designs

Hello everyone wishing you all a lovely Sunday I hope you're having a good weekend.

We had a great walk yesterday despite having to be up at 5:45 to catch the coach....it was quite a long drive to a town called Zafarraya and a hot day too - we walked 12km followed by a great lunch in the town in a large carpa or marquee specially erected for the event....there were loads of people there walking and two routes a short and a long one....so as you can image today we're both a little tired.   Good job the clocks went back and gave us an extra hour today..... A day to relax so I thought I would share a card I've made using some great new products from a brand new company Creative Ember Designs by Leonie Pujol.

When I saw these fantastic kitties I had to splash out and I love them - so quirky and just like our kitties !

I treated myself to a couple of the  stamps sets and a fab stencil that's definitely not just for Christmas. Todays card is featuring our sweet ginger boy Foxy and we  see him investigating the Christmas Tree each year but thankfully no breakages so far.

I thought I would keep a simple colour palette of greens and oranges and I'm really pleased with the end result.  The background panel was inked with distress inks and then I added some Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Powders for shine.  To finish off the panel I stamped the Christmas tee in green Versafine Clair ink and then splattered the panel with more ink for texture.

Next I used dies to create a frame or window, I wanted it to look like someone looking in at the scene and Foxy saying 'it wasn't me!'

The frame was coloured with inks and then I used the stencil to add some words and texture.

Foxy was stamped using distress Oxide ink and then I've used to water brush to pull out the colour .

I finished Foxy off by using a white pastel pencil to add his stripes and then fussy cut him out.

The frame and Foxy were adhered to the card using foam tape and then I added the sentiment, stamped

on card with inked edges.

Finishing touches were glossy accents to Foxy's eyes and the baubles.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
