52 CHRISTMAS CARD THROWDOWN (MAY COLOUR)

  Hi there! I'm back with another card for 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. This week Fabiola, our host,  Wants us to feature Kraft on our cards.

I dry embossed the background, swiped ink over the raised bits and white embossed. 

I swiped Antique Linen DO on the white die-cut panel and embossed with Gold on the edges.  I stamped and white embossed the grid pattern and mounted the die-cut angel with dimensional foam.

I hope you'll visit the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown blog to see what the rest of the team created with these colours and then be inspired to join in the challenge!

Happy Little Stamper Christmas Challenge (May)

It's time for another HLS Christmas Card Challenge. 

The theme this month is either *MISTLTOE* or if you prefer *ANYTHING GOES*.

I stamped the background for the window with gold ink.  The die-cut mistletoe was coloured with Ziug Markers . I coloured the berries with Altenew Metallic paint and then I added glossy accents to give shine. I'm quite pleased that you can she the shimmer under the gloss. I then diecut the rectangle panel and the window. To finish I added the glittery boiw, stamped the sentiment and matted the panels with a touch of red. 

Stamps: Stampendous Background; Sentient is magazine freebie

Dies: Memory Box Mistletoe Bundle; MFT Rectangle & Peekaboo Circle.

I hope you'll pop over to the Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge blog to see more creations from the DT and be inspired to join in the challenge. It's never to early to start on Christmas Cards:)

CAS Seahorse & More

 Hey there! I had some fun today making cards without too much planning. I was inspired by a few challenges. 

First up, a CAS card...

I used Karin Markers again to stamp and colour the die-cut. I spritzed a bit for a soft wash. 

I embossed the frame with a die and popped the panel on top.  The sentiment is stamped with Delicata Gold.

My next card was inspired by the colours at Color Hues Challenge...

I used various hues of Orange and Red Karin Markers and added some white highlights. I used Grey for the leaves to keep it neutral.   This gorgeous floral stamp is from Gina K and the sentiment from Stampin Up.

This month is a Stencil themed challenge. Nancy is our host and the prompt is 'Rainbow Ink Blending or Colours'.  There are some links to videos on our blog. Please be sure and keep your card designs Clean and Simple.

I blended various colours of Distress Ink through the Simon Says Stamp (SSS) "Tumbling Leaves Stencil" and lightly spritzed. I added a very thin border of black on the side and a white embossed Altenew sentiment on black card. A few sequins added a touch of bling.

52 CHRISTMAS CARD THROWDOWN (MAY SKETCH)

  It's time to begin a new month of challenges at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown, with Fabiola as our Host.  She's designed a wonderful sketch to inspire us.
