Sonja's Doings

2020-11-15

This card is made on white card stock with a layer of blue paper with glitter in it.

The mitten I draw and cut out after having embossed the white and red with a snowflake embossing folder.

All the snowflakes are made using craft punches.

This scarf is crochet with a yarn from Monos Del Uruguay.

The yarn is a blend of silk and merino wool and it is hand dyed.

Birthday card made for a friend.

The pattern is a Linzo design and I used variegated silk thread for the stitching.

The base card is white and then a blue layer with the stitching.

The butterfly is a punch and Happy Birthday a die from Britannia Dies.

The digital image for December is one of We 3 Kings.

Here is the card I made with the image.

I used a music sheet I found on Internet earlier.

Printed it out with the King in the corner after I had mirrored the image.

Printed the King on white paper and coloured with markers and

Sakura Gelly Roll pens

Cut him out and glued him to the music sheet.

Used some sparkly stickers and mounted all on the green base card.

This was the last month for this challenge and it has been a big help

when it came to the time to send Christmas cards to already have so many made.

Thanks to DigiStamps4Joy for running the challenge for us.

The images for November month are two Christmas Tags.

I printed the tags out and coloured them with water colouring pencils.

Added the tags to the card with a red ribbon bow.

Lots of punched snowflakes to finish off the card

The snow couple on the bench is stitched on the card using silk embroidery floss.

The pattern comes from Bergkaarten in Netherlands

and is called "Sneeuwpoppen op bank".

One more month and a year has gone and we all have at least

12 cards made for Christmas. This has been so good to take part in for me

as I usually start panic this time of the year.

Now I have a good start and only a few more cards to make for myself.

This is a bobbin lace design by Martine Bruggemann.

I used Bocken's Linen thread no 60/2 for the lace.

This red scarf and wrist warmers are knitted.

I cast on to the width I want and knit 4 stitches, purl 4, knit 4 a.s.o. for 4 rows.

Then 4 purl, 4 knit, 4 purl a.s.o. until the lengths I want.

This give a nice texture to the items.
