Good morning friends!
Welcome to another fortnightly challenge over at
Basic Grey, where this week's theme is glitz and bling....... oooooh me thinks we might see rather a lot of Christmas entries, right? There is a scrumptious prize up for grabs so do hop straight over and check it out, somebody is going to be a very happy bunny if they win!
So, glitz and bling....... well this isn't a difficult challenge for me as I love both, so I added Sparkle Dust for the glitz and rhinestone gems for the bling. Don't you just adore
Mo's snowman? I certainly do....... so much so that I bought him twice, ROFL!!!!! I think I must have downloaded him the day he was released and then put him to the back of my mind..... so then a couple of weeks later I saw someone use him on a card and thought to myself, hmmmm I think I need the cute little fella! What did I do? Purchased him again and then when it came to downloading the PC asked me if I wanted to replace the file which already existed!!!! DOH!!!! So now I'd better use him lots to get my money's worth!!!
Whilst I was at the NEC I spied a little stitching piercer tool that I had been after to help with my faux stitching attempts, so on this card I got to try it out..... not too bad for a first attempt I think ;o) The blue background paper is MME and this gorgeous festive paper is from Basic Grey's Figgy Pudding range..... I cut some circles from the pattern to create the embellies. I also used a Sizzix die for the mittens which are hanging in the corner and I coloured my image with Poly and Koh pencils. Ooooh, nearly forgot, the swirls are from a Woodware punch which I also managed to pick up at the NEC.
Well I'm off out today to take Georgia to the opticians as she's having a contact lense trial..... not sure how she'll go on as she's very squamish about touching eyes, lol!
Don't forget to check out what my teamies have been up to, there cards are amazing.... blingtastic in fact!!!!
TTFN and TFL, hugs Tara xxx

Hi Mum,
This is absolutely stunning!! I think this has to be one of my favourites of yours! I love the way you've cut out the circles from the backing paper and your colouring is fantastic, I love the glitter on the snowman! :)
Love, Georgia xxxxxxxx
Ooooh very sparkly ! Just love the image you have used, I've spied him once or twice now and just love him although I have a thing about Snowmen at the moment and have quite a few already !!! Love the BG papers and how you've cut the circles out.
Have a great weekend, keep dry and I hope Georgia gets on ok.
Huggles,

Blingtastic is a perfect term for your card, Tara. I love the glittery snowman and the peppermint candies. Very inspirational!

Such a stunning card Tara. I adore this snowman. It's such a shame that I don't have a printer as I just love Mo's designs. I hope she brings out some rubbah! Love the figgy pudding papers too! Hope everything goes ok with georgia at the opticians. It's a bit fiddly at first but she'll get used to it! I've been wearing mine nearly 12 years and can take them out in my sleep now, Lol!
Enjoy your weekend hun!

Awww... I'm missing you too!! You've got to take the lovely G next time - can't wait to meet her + we all have birthdays in March - we can have a joint celebration & spend lots of pennies hee-hee.
Love your card and how you used the paper. Brilliant colouring and glitzing of Mo's image and fab details. (Must check my stash of Mo's images - I'm almost sure I've got this one - don't want to do a Tara and buy him again Lol).

This is such a wonderful snowman. It is worth twice the price. LOL! Good thing since you bought it twice huh? Funny girl. You should of never told anyone your stitching is faux. I would of never guessed. Another beauty Tara!
