SATURDAY SKETCH #16....WILLOW WITH LANTERN

Another great sketch from Jo at "Saturday Sketch" this week,i know what you're thinking Saturday sketch and it's Thursday,i'm alittle behind...lol.
For this i've used one of my recent purchases from Whiff Of Joy "Willow With Lantern",i adore this stamp,it's a large size stamp and beautiful to work with,hence the A5 card,i'd forgotten what it was like to work with this size card,tend now to use more square cards.
The image then as i've said "Willow With Latern",Whiff Of Joy,coloured with Promarkers and Prisma's,with a touch of Sakuka,matted and layered.
The papers are HOTP Metallic Gold,gorgeous papers and willow deserves them...lol
Corners and scrolls cut on the Wizard,flowers punched with Xcut punch.
Ribbon and gems from stash.
Haven't added a sentiment to this,but will later when i decide who i will be sending it to.

A SPOON FULL OF SUGAR...CHALLENGE 15,ANYTHING BUT A CARD

Spoon full of sugar this week,challenge 15 "Anything But A Card",a couple of weeks back for another challenge i made a wine bottle gift tag and was really pleased with the result....so today i made another one but this time with a Christmas bottle tag in mind.
The stamp Christmas Maggie,Sugar Nellie,i've paper pieced her dress with some lace effect paper,unsure where from,i've used an oddment from my ever growing bit box,i've coloured in the stars on her dress and her wings with a Sakura starduct pen,on the wings i've dotted it on to give a netting appearance.
I've matted and layered using nestabilities,decorated with snowflakes cut from the same card on my wizard.Gems and ribbon from stash.
The sentiment is from See D's "Magical Christmas",held in place by a star shaped brad,allowing movement to be able to write a message on the back.
