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!

Butterfly Collage Art Journal Page

I saw a post on The Crafters Workshop Blog where Carmen made an art journal page using only one stencil. I have a similar stencil to the one she used so I decided to try it. I used a 6x6 stencil called Butterfly Collage. I used 4 Dylusions Spray ink on this page Lemon Zest, Pure Sunshine, London Blue and Crushed Grape. I was experimenting with a tetradic color scheme. It's nice, but when using nonpermanent inks you have to be carful the purple with the yellows and oranges doesn't turn brown. I also used some Faber Castell Design Memory Craft Whipped Spackle in some places. I colored it with the inks. I used my Prima stamp press to make the sentiment with black Archival ink. It was a relatively quick and fun page to make. Definitely a challenge to use only one stencil!! Thanks for stopping by.

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!
