Hello everyone and happy Wednesday... I hope that you're having a great week...I hope that you have had a great few weeks....as you know we've been on a tour in Japan and I was absolutely blown away.
Don't Forget that our challenges our now 4 weekly so there's loads of time for you to join in and more chances to win too!
The theme set for the DT this week by Nikky was to create a winter themed project with a pocket on the front so I decided I would make a start on my Christmas cards and created a cute little card using the adorable Cecil Walrus from the Theo Penguin collection.
To create the pocket, I used a curved edge and cut a line across the image, fussy cutting around the top of Cecil. Foam tape was added to the bottom of the image and along the sides, leaving the top of the panel open before adding this to the bottom of the card, over the background scene.
Finishing touches were starkly gems, white gel pen highlights and a little piece of string through the top of the tag.
I started off by resizing the adorable image for a smaller A6 card adding a sweet Christmas sentiment at the bottom, printing off and colouring with promarkers.
Next I chose one of the recoloured background scenes from the collection and layered this onto the base card with a dark navy matt. I added lots of lovely sparkle to the background and let this dry.

Next I created a simple tag shape, layering this was a pretty water paper from the Theo collection and adding a paper from Winnie Mermazing on the back - I used the fish tails paper and fussy cut out an additional tail to stick over the plainer water paper.
I printed out one the the coloured sentiments from the collection - Im not bit on puns but I loved this cheeky sentiment and me and my hubby love fish finger butties so I thought it would make the perfect Christmas card for him this year.
Hasta luego 👋
Enjoy the rest of your day !
