Christmas Card Challenges #42 - Anything Goes

It's time for another challenge over at Christmas Card Challenges. This week we have everybody's favorite "Anything Goes".  Christmas is only 3 months away so it's time to get started on your cards. I can't wait to see what you create!

For my card, I used a stamp set and die by Hero Arts called Color Layering Deer. I started by creating the background with a stencil called Evergreens from The Crafter's Workshop and Heidi Swapp Color Shine sprays. Then I stamped the deer with several different colors of brown ink. The sentiment is also from Hero Arts.  I added some tiny pearls to make it look like it was snowing. I attached the white panel to a large piece of craft foam and adhered it to a card base made from Papertry Ink Limeade paper.  Thanks for stopping by!

Let's Celebrate Freedom

This is my second entry for the Lawnscaping Challenge. Today I got in this awesome stars stencil from My Favorite Things designed by Mona Pendleton. It was just too perfect for this challenge not to use it. So I sprayed the card stock with Dylusions - London Blue and Cherry Pie to make the background. I used the "Let's Celebrate"

sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Happy 4th stamp set and I stamped it in a banner from the Lawn Fawn Bannerific stamp set. 

The letters are Heidi Swap Color Magic that I sprayed with the London Blue Dylusions. I wanted the letters to stand out a little more so I went over the letters with a white Stampers Big Brush Pen. I also didn't want to cover up too much of the background so I put the banner and letters on a vellum die cut. I just used two dies to make the frame around the vellum pane. Then, I added two Doodlebug Design stars on the ends of the die cut frame. The inks and colored cardstock are Stampin Up - Pacific Point and Real Read. The black ink is Memento.  Thanks for stopping by!

Here's my card. 

You Are Here Card

I made this card for the Virginia's View Challenge. The challenge is to use a stencil. I used this US stencil by The Crafter's Workshop. I sprayed the stencil with Heidi Swapp Color Mist in Coral. Then I used several pieces of Heidi Swapp Color Magic Ephemera that I sprayed with Heidi Swapp Color mists in Chartreuse, Mustard, Teal and Cherry Red. The card stock is Neenah White and Tempting Turquoise by Stampin' Up. Thanks for stopping by!
