I made three of these elf pocket cards for my grandsons Christmas money to hang on their tree.
The 'collar' lifts up to see where the money is hiding. I used snippets from my scrap box for the belt, check trim, and the collar.

It's not Christmas
I had a few bits and pieces lying on my desk, so used them up with this card. The green stripe is a piece of bazil card, pink spot is a dp, small butterflies are from a Kaiser pad, and the bottom piece of green is punched.
I cut the butterfly in 2 layers, the top one is a scrap of velum, and ran them both through my cuttlebug with the swiss dots folder. I sponged most of the edges in green and added a bakers string tie, and wee diamantes to the butterfly.

nbus!
Today's card uses a piece from my blue masterboard. I have trimmed it to fit a white card, just leaving a litle margin. Istamped the 2 IndigoBlu images with Brilliance graphite black and embossed with clear EP. I stamped the butterfly again on a scrap of acetate and layered it over the original. The white accents are from my Sharpie pen.

Masterboard #2
This piece is actually darker IRL but doesn't show in the scan, I think because it is a shiny surface. I started with 2 colours of Brusho's, and after spraying,then pressed onto it with cling film. After it was dry I stamped the circles(CTMH) text (Stampers Anonymous) leaves (Dylusions) I also used a white Sharpie to accentuate some of the circles.
This is my second attempt after being inspired by all the examples on the Paper Artsy blog.

Masterboards #1
I have been reading with interest the subject of masterboards on the paper artsy blog, and I am not sure who inspires me the most. I think I have taken something from everyones examples, with the exception of using a brayer.
I painted with a lovely orange paint (no label) and then sprayed with some gold glimmer mist to give it a pretty sheen The blobs of red and gold were spread out using a comb. I used some watered down black for the swipey bits in the middle, stamped the text with black soot di and used a white sharpie for the cross hatches. I am looking forward to making some cards with this.

Christmas is coming
Christmas is getting close so it is time to enter some Christmas challenges.
The background was created by smooching some distress ink on my craft mat and spritzing with water, then swiping the card through it. I also added some stamped circles and stars. Unfortunately the sparkle doesn't show up on the stars. I stamped the bird on the card and also on another snippet, so that I could layer him. He is coloured with copics and promarkers
