Snow under the Northern lights

Hello crafters, 
This fortnight, the Allsorts challenge optional theme, chosen by Lynn, is "Create a scene". As usual, you can also enter with an "anything goes" theme.

Scenes are one of my favourite subjects and this time I thought I would try something different by starting with a black base for a snowy night scene with Northern Lights.

All stamps are from Lavinia, stamped in white pigment ink:

LAV478 Fairy Fir Tree
LAV836 Small Pine Trees
LAV928 Small Robins
LAV687 Honeysuckle Cottage
LAV246 Fairy Path

The hills were created with Distress Oxides and paper masks and the Northern lights with chalk pastels.

I added snow with pastel pencil on the trees, path, ground and cottage.

I am glad I tried this but cannot decide if it works or not!

Winter Snowscape

Hello crafters, 

Today I have a special Christmas card to show you. When I say special I mean it isn't one of those designs quick to make that we can mass make. No, this one is a labour of love reserved for my closest and dearest!

The card shape was inspired by the Wardrobe die set by Studio Light (SL-ES-CD455). 

I left a blank space at the back for the message and when the card is opened it looks  like this:

The paper I used is from the Winter Tales pad (Stamperia). I added foliage die-cuts (Sizzix Christmas Shadow Box Die Set - 663611), some of which I glittered.

To close the doors I added a chipboard piece from the Quotes And Labels from the same  Stamperia collection.

I liked the design but thought I could do better with the doors and added door mouldings as in this variation below:

Do let me know what you think of these!

New Adventure

Hello crafters, 
This fortnight, the Allsorts challenge optional theme, chosen by Liz is "New: baby/home etc...". As usual, you can also enter with an "anything goes" theme.

My choice of "new" is Adventure and because a new adventure often involves a move or a trip I selected the suitcase as my focal point.

The stamping in the background was made with old Papermania sets (All Aboard "Map" and Air Mail"). I built up my suitcase with the Papertrey Ink die set, including the flip flops, glasses and hat. A real stamp, a die-cut sentiment (Sizzix/Tim Holtz Adventure words:script 660224 and Alphabet 662228) finish the design.
