Christmas Card Challenges #3

Happy New Year!! It's time for another Christmas Card Challenge. This time we have a Color Challenge - very neutral and calming colors. There's no time like the present to get started on cards for next year. I can't wait to see what you create. 

For my card I used the Ellen Hutson Stag Die and a Hero Arts Merry Christmas die with some patterned papers to make this quick and simple Christmas card. To finish it off I add some Studio Calico Enamel dots. Thanks for stopping by!!

Unity Friends with Flair Friday

I made this card for the Unity Stamp Company Friends with Flair Friday Challenge. I used the new Woodland Creatures stamp set. I stamped the deer on watercolor paper and colored it with Zig Real Brush Clean Color Markers. I die cut a stitched circle from PTI in green cork and I covered the card with natural cork. I stamped the sentiment onto the cork with Ranger Archival Ink. Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Card Challenges #25

It's time for this week's challenge over at Christmas Card Challenges. This week our Challenge theme is everybody's favorite - "Anything Goes".  I hope you will get a head start on your Christmas cards and join us this week.

For my card I used a Unity Stamp Company Itty Bitty Stamp set called "All is Calm, All is Bright. I stamped the image with black Archival Ink. To make the background I rubbed on some Silver and Gold Metallic Gelatos. 

Christmas Card Challenges #6

It's time for this week's challenge over at Christmas Card Challenges. This week is a really fun Challenge. We were supposed to CASE a card made previously by one of the other Design Team Members. I decided to use a card by Alanna Moses for my inspiration. I loved how she created this flawless background by blending Tim Holtz Distress Inks.

Here is the card from Alanna. You can see the original post HERE.

I created my background using Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold and Barn Door Distress Inks. The deer head is a die from Ellen Hutson and the words are dies by Papertrey Ink. I also inked the edges using a Prima Ink Edger in Black Coal. It's a different kind of Christmas Card, but I love how it turned out. I'm excited to see what you come up with this week for this fun challenge. Just pick any previous card by one our DT Members and be inspired. Thanks for stopping by!

Here's my card.
