Skating Snowman

Hi Everyone, after my son has "played" with my 'puter and made it better, (problems before and after Xmas), I am able to post.

I HAD to enter Deedee's Digis last challenge before she closes due to the new EU VAT charges. It has affected quite a few small companies, so sad.  I am entering the challenge, however as the EU VAT takes place at the end of December and before the end of the challenge, I will not be entering for the prize, just the support of Deedee, who was so brilliant when I was GDT with her digis.

Here is my card, it is for my #3 brother who is 75 next week, it's OK that I post it as he doesn't visit here, although my SIL does! So Anne here is his card, it will be with you soon. :)  I love the play on words with the Brrr, especially as I always say BRUVVA to my brothers, I know I'm eccentric! LOL.

~It's one layer, with lots of PS shadows and shading to hopefully make it look layered.

I followed this colour combo and sketch

 I made 2 shapes in PS and added 2 overlays, 

shadows and embossed the holly overlay. 

This was quite a simple card to put together, 

a little longer to finish though LOL.

the theme is 

Anything Goes with a twist - 

snowflakes

Stitchy Bear

I have coloured this in PS and used a PS brush to make the snowflake cut out around the centre rectangle, to do this I used a snowflake brush and then selected the eraser tool, you can use ANY brush to achieve this. I added a drop shadow and an inner glow to the same layer, then duplicated the layer and used an outer glow. I also used a PS snowflake brush to go over the snowflakes in the image to add a bit of colour.

the Theme is 

Christmas -
using non traditional colours

sponsored by  Lunagirl

Hi Everyone, my offering today is something that I would not normally do, however this is a challenge right? and in the end I am quite happy I had this challenge to do, as it made me think of the true meaning of Christmas and it doesn't matter what colour is traditional as long as the message gets across. So here is my offering, I used a few blending options, brushes and layers and effects in PS to get the effect near enough to what I envisaged. (I really have a lot of learning to do in PS).

Snowman friends

Hi Everyone, thought I would let you see one of my Christmas cards. VERY CAS for me, but I love those happy snowmen and seeing as I had to do 80 cards VERY quickly, it had to be CAS.  Coloured digitally in PS, I followed the "Merry Christmas" Design Seeds colours.

I layered the framed top with 3D tape and added lots of sparkle. Not a good photo, it's difficult on these Winter days.
