Christmas Kickstart #99

Christmas Kickstart is a good way to get going on your Christmas cards.  Jo and her elf-of-the month inspire you with some makes of their own using this month's theme - Christmas Critters. 

My card was made using Penny Black's Festive Frolic.  The images were colored with Altenew artist markers and the background was made with Distress Inks and masking for the hill.  I don't remember who makes the sentiment but I thought it worked great for the scene.

A You See It #350 - Triptych

I put together a card for the sketch challenge at As You See It - Triptych.

For the three images I used one of TH Wildflower dies in Kraft, which went well with the striped paper from Honey Bee.  I trimmed the panel to let the navy cardstock show and added the Betterpress sentiment also in navy.  This will work well for a masculine card. 

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a great week!

Addicted to CAS #285 and Krafty Chicks #773

I was lucky enough to win the Addicted to CAS Floral challenge with this card, and as it is my policy, I made a card for the subsequent challenge - water.  This one was more of a . . .challenge.  😅

Once I knew I could make a scene with Spellbinders Coastal View Escape I tried several versions before I came up with my final card.  The background was inked with Caribbean Sky and placed behind a panel cut with MFT's Wonky Peekaboo die.  The trees and island were cut from cardstock and shaded with Altenew inks.  The sentiment is from Altenew. 

I am also sending this to Krafty Chicks for their CAS week challenge.  

Thanks for dropping by.  I do hope your day is fabulous!

ETA: I just noticed that AAA Cards is having a CAS challenge.  I'm sending this without the twist.

Color Hues #112

Peach and Cobalt.  Those are the colors Stef chose for the Color Hues Challenge.  Here's what I came up with.

It all started with the Terrazzo press plate from Altenew in their Eastern Sky ink.  I looked through the flower dies I brought with me and settled on Altenew's Virginia Rose.  It's cut in a light peach and the layers are colored with Pastel Sky and Canyon Clay, with inked Kraft cardstock for the center and stem.  It needed something more so the PTI frame, layered three times, was added as was a SB sentiment.  

Thanks for visiting.  I love it when you leave a comment while you're here.
