Ricks Blog
And a few of us were lucky enough to work with some exclusive stamps he has created just for us!! Our challenge this wk is to use your digis, be it paper or images and you can have the chance to win an EXCLUSIVE set of digi stamps designed by Rick for OSAAT, yep the winner will be the only person in the world to own these exclusive stamps WOWZERS!!
I decided to create both a card and matching gift tin to showcase Ricks fabulous xmas bear image and to show the versatility of digi images.

My card was made following the sketch over at a new blog called sparkle dreams who have the added extra of using sparkle and flowers on your creation. My fabulous papers are a digi download from Nitwits again and my fabulous flowers and holly are a mixture of wild orchids and mulberry crafts,my flourishes are Marianne Ds and my little gems from stash. I have distressed all my edges and stickled with golden rod sparkle.

My stunning image has been coloured with Prisma pencils and I have tried to give him a more traditional/vintage look, he was so beautiful to colour! I have distressed the edges with Tea dye distress ink. My little ribbon pieces are American crafts and my mini golden brads are from stash.

I absolutely adored making my tin! Would you beleve that this tin is what you now buy your tea bags in from Starbucks?! I think I'm going to have to lay my hands on a few more of these lovlies! I have again used Nitwits papers from the same range (comfort joy) and have used the same American crafts ribbon and same flower combination. My Chiffon ribbon is from stash and my stunning yellow lace around the top is Prima. I have attatched my tag with chain and jump ring.

I used Ricks image again and photoshoped out the body so I just have the bear head and bow for my tag. I coloured him in the same way with the same distress ink and glitter round the edges. My little adhesive pearls around the top are also from stash.

I loved making this so much and am loathe to give it away now lol, I guess someone will get lucky at xmas!
Now for my challenges! I am entering this into Incy Wincys sparkly glitter challenge, The crazy challenges recycle challenge (my tin is recycled), spoonful of sugars sparkle and shine challenge, Creative card crews bloomin marvellous challenge, Digital Tuesdays ribbon and bling challenge, City crafters hooray for holidays challenge, Fab and funkys use a digi challenge, Glitterbabes anything goes challenge, MAWTT anything but a card challenge, Dutch dares tagalicious challenge, Sarah Hurleys flowers challenge, create 4 funs use a digi challenge, one stop crafts alter it challenge (my tin) and If the shoes fits distressing challenge.
