Christmas Card Challenges #30

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

For my card I used a Unity Itty Bitty Stamp called Season Snowman. It's illustrated by Angie Blom. I colored him with a white Kuretake Zig marker and the colors are all Copic Markers. I stamped the images with Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped on Kraft and outlined the panel with a black Copic marker. Then I layered a piece of burlap and red card stock on a gray card base. He seemed rustic to me so I thought the burlap went well with him. This was a simple and easy card to make. You just need a good white marker!

Unity Friends with Flair Friday

This is my Unity Friends With Flair Entry. This is another one of the backs of my Faber Castell Design Memory Craft chipboard mini journal pages. I used DecoArt Decoupage to put Tim Holtz Text Tissue Paper on the background. Then I covered it PaperArtsy Chalk ink in the Chalk Color. I used a credit card to spread the paint. Then I covered the Heart stamp with Cobalt and Red Geranium Archival inks. I stamped the sentiment with black Archival ink. It's a little crooked but what are you going to do? It's just an art journal page. I inked the edges with a mini Distress Blender Tool and the blue Archival Ink. Both the stamp are from Unity Stamp Company. Thanks for stopping by!

Papertrey Ink June 2015 Blog Hop

I made this card for the June Papertrey Ink Blog Hop. This month they had a cute inspiration photo. I was inspired by the stripes and the colors. I used the Summer Sweetness Stamp Set with Orange Zest, Limeade Ice and Enchanted Evening inks and papers. I also used the PTI stitched rectangle and label dies. Thanks for stopping by and be sure to stop by the blogs of the hop participants to see what gorgeous creations they made.

Here's my card.

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.

Lawnscaping Challenge - Stars and Stripes

I made this card for the current Lawnscaping Challenge. I used stamps from the Lawn Fawn sets Happy 4th and Bannerific. To make the card I sprayed the card with Dylusions spray inks in London Blue and Postbox Red. Then I stamped the fireworks in Carnation Red and Aquamarine Archival Inks and added some red and blue sequins. I used patterned paper from Doodlebug Designs Patriotic Parade. Thanks for stopping by!
