Hello lovely peeps,
Oh my goodness I can't believe another week has flown past!
I've been working lots of extra shifts due to staff being off enjoying their Summer holidays & as much as I love my job I cannot wait for the weekend when I have two days off :)
I'm trying not to think about all the housework I need to catch up on & focusing on playing in my lovely craft room & chilling out with my feet up doing a bit of blog hopping which seems to me the only sensible option lol.
My card today features Jane's Doodles Cross Stitch stamp set as well as a cute little Edwin from Magnolia's Winter Wonderland collection.
I've added lots of lovely sparkle to my card using my current favourite Glitter Ritz glitter & I've heat embossed the cross stitch trees using Hero Arts embossing powder & then popped a cute little Studio Calico wooden star on the top of them.
The copic colours I've used are -
skin - E11, E00, E000, R12, hair - E44, E43, E41, top & shoes - E37, E35, E31, dungarees - E79, E74 E71, Christmas tree - G85, YG63, YG61 / Y28, Y26, Y21
That's me finished for today peeps, it's time I got myself organised & headed off to work today's late shift.
Thanks for stopping by
