Christmas Card Challenges #23 - Color Challenge

It's time for another Christmas Card Challenge. This week we have an Color Challenge. I hope that you will join us. It's never to early to get started on you Christmas Cards!!

For my card I created the background using a Silver Gelato and water. To create the trees I used Hero Arts Color Layering Christmas Trees and Dies with Hero Arts Ombre ink in Lime to Forever Green. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set called Merry Christmas Messages with Ranger Black Archival Ink. I used foam tape to attach the trees. The white paper is Neenah Solar White and I matted it with Stampin' Up Basic Gray and Old Olive card stock.

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. 

Friend with Flair Friday

This week for my Friends with Flair project I made another mini art journal page. To make this page I covered the page with patterned paper and covered with DecoArt DecoPage. Then I stamped a Unity Ruler Stamp and the Burlap background stamp on the background in Watering Can Archival Ink. I also added some circles and other images with a TCW Stencil.

I wanted to tone down the backgound so I swiped Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Picket Fence across the background a few time to make the stamped images a little more subtle. Then I spritzed some Dylusions White spray on the page. Then I stamped the flower in Black Versafine Ink and colored it in with Stamper's Big Brush  Pens and went around the edges with the white Big Brush Pen. To add a little color I rubbed on some blue, green and lime Gelatos in the background. Finally, I stamped the sentiment, it's from the same Unity set as the flower. Then I sprayed Slate Gray Dylusions spray to finish it off. Thanks for stopping by!

Unity Friends with Flair Friday - Mini Art Journal Board

I made this mini-art journal board for this week's Friends with Flair Friday at Unity.  The image in the middle is from the January 2014 KOM and the "Believe" is from "inspire" Words.  I stamped the main image with Versamark Ink and I colored it using Pan Pastels. Then I masked the main image and sprayed different green/yellow spray inks on the edges. I stamped Believe in Black Versafine Archival Ink. I also inked the edges with a Prima Chalk Ink Edger. I added some clear Wink of Stella on the flowers to finish it off, but you can't really see it in the picture. Just trying out a few new ideas on this mini art journal board from Faber Castell Design Memory Craft. Happy Friday and thanks for stopping by.
