Hi one and all, so busy downunder so blogging has suffered still been making cards though!
A wee peek! it is a new TH holly stencil I bought before Christmas .. technically part of my Christmas present. I spent more that should have, so miss out on Crafty birthday present, as on total buying ban!! :D except for necessities like mounting tape, of which I am nearly out.

| Snippet or strip of card applied with gold Dreamweaver embossing paste allowed to dry, then sprayed with shimmer mist, mounted and added to card. Verse is Digi by Karen Murray. For the card below it's stencilled with white texture paste, allowed to dry -> added inks in areas, using stencil to direct ink, and used Golden Glitz ink around background area. Embossing folder on side is a Sizzix set. |

| The Aussie shot.. spent few days on beach last week, though not here out at my sister's beach! Had few days out there .. :D Have loads of card unpublished so must get my act together! And yes I've been very bad in responding to your kind comments. |
Thanks so much for popping over for a peek, especially if you stay for a chat!
May God bless your day wherever you maybe!

What beautiful cards!You have used that lovely stencil to good effect, expertly crafted!Bravo! Mind you, I really can't think about making Christmas cards yet!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Shaz, two lovely Christmas cards to get your stash started. Love the coloured one, hope you had a great time with your sister at the beach. Have a wonderful week... Megan
ReplyDeleteAmazing Christmas cards Shaz, love how you used the new stencil and all that gold makes them precious!
ReplyDeleteTotally fabulous Shaz - as Len would say, just like you would buy in a shop. Which is a top compliment from him! So glad you're having some 'Me' time!

WOW Shaz this is an absolute beauty...love how you have combined the stencil and the embossing in such a creative way!!! My creative brain is often stencil challenged...I have to remember to use them and then again very often am unhappy with what I can achieve. Your project is such an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteNow donning my DT hat...

Oh, precious Shaz, it's wonderful to see your beautiful cards! I love the beautiful verse from Matthew and how you've made the stars gold! What a stunning stencil, and I love the gold and also the one with colors! I'd be hard pressed to choose one over the other - both are stunning! It's such a beautiful shot of your sister's beach. Looks like it was a beautiful and glorious day!! Much love and hugs! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI don't know any of the card making lingo. None at all so I have no idea how you put these works of art together week after week. I just know that I love them and the way you give all glory to God in the verses you use.
ReplyDeleteYour Aussie shot is so pretty. I'm looking forward to spring arriving here, but trying to enjoy the winter as well.
Many blessings,
Betsy
These are both gorgeous Christmas cards, Shaz. I think my fave is the second one with the oval framed verse. You spent a lot of time building up that background and it is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking part in the January Rudolph Days Challenge.
I particularly love the inked card, both are lovely x
ReplyDeleteFabulous stencil and cards Shaz..Loz
ReplyDeleteI love the texture and shine on your cards. They are so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThey are both beautiful but I do love the second, the coloring is just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteOh, my, Shaz, these are both just gorgeous in every way!!! I'm so glad you got to spend a few days on the beach with your sister! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThese cards are so pretty! I love them both.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Shaz - love the one you have coloured with the gold background, but the stenciled one is really stunning.
ReplyDeleteI have been really busy with the gardens again so have not been visiting much eother... the weather has been really hot here 5-6 days at over 30 oC!! followed by thunderstorms a lot of the time, so everything is grown in madly. I have crafted when it got too hot as I have an aircon unit in the studio - thankfully.

They are both stunning Shaz and they both look so different. That's a lovely mask. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card. Great layering and love the gold texture. Thanks for playing along Simon Says Stamp Layer It Up Challenge. Gayatri xx
ReplyDeleteSuper cards! I'm especially impressed by how well you were able to place the colors on the right areas on your second card. And the gold adds an extra bit of elegance. Well done!
