Christmas Card Challenges #17

It's time for another challenge over at Christmas Card Challenges. This week we have an Inspiration Photo challenge with a Christmas tree made of words.  It's never too early to get started on your Christmas Cards. 

I was inspired to create a card with a Christmas Tree. This stamp is from KatzelKraft in France. I love it because it has the three zentangled trees and then Merry Christmas written in four languages. I stamped it multiple times and cutout out each tree and the background and adhered them to the card base with foam tape. I colored the images and the purple area on the card base with Tombow Markers. It was a fun to color and  easy to make Christmas card in non-tradition colors - may favorite kind. Thanks for stopping by!

Christmas Card Challenges #52

It's time for this week's challenge over at Christmas Card Challenges. This week our Challenge theme is everybody's favorite again - "Anything Goes". Get a head start on your Christmas cards and come join us this week. Thanks for stopping by!

For my card I used a new IndigoBlu stamp set called Triple Parcel. It's a set of two stamps. One is the single line outline, the second you stamp on top, it has several loose lines. They have several of these stamps and I love all of them. I watercolored using my Tim Holtz Distress Markers, I was inspired to this by a video by Scrap Time Videos, here is a link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLJUdSEre_A  The paper is from DCWV. The sentiment stamp is from Hero Arts.

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.
