Color Hues #122

Silver and Teal.  What a beautiful combination for a Color Hues challenge.  And for a Christmas card.

It all started with the PFS Ornaments hot foil plate in silver.  The ornaments are stenciled using Altenew Aqualicious and Teal Cave and Lisa Horton silver.  Then it was decision time for the background.  I used Spellbinder's Evergreen folder, inking it with the silver to deboss the leaves.  Recollections silver was added for a border and hanging strips and a panel edge was inked with  Aqualicious for another border.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

Freshly Made Sketches #713

The sketch at Freshly Made Sketches was a good one to use patterned paper that I have WAY too much of. 

The paper was one of the A2 freebies that Honey Bee sends out at Christmas - last year's.  I used their Holiday florals to cut the greens, put them on a SSS stitched rectangle and added a sentiment from SSS in Altenew Ruby Red.

Just Us Girls #802 - Mood Board Week

Carol Mc has a great mood board for us at Just Us Girls this week.

There are lots of images to inspire your card and if that's not enough, the Design Team and our guest Leslie have some wonderful cards to get your ideas flowing.  Here's mine.

I focused on the star with greens and the wood background.  The star is from PFS Nested Stars.  It is a hot foil plate with dies but I only used the dies, cutting it in C9 Nutmeg cardstock and layering with foam tape. The greens are SB Blue Spruce cut with TH Holiday Greens.  I wanted to add ornaments but didn't have any small enough so I cut circles from a textured gold cardstock.  The Joy die is also TH and the wood background is from a pack I love but don't have the name of. 

I hope you have the time to make a card based on our mood board. We'd love to see you in our gallery.

Time Out #302

It's another pick two at Time Out.

I think it's fun to make a card by picking two or more words to inspire me.  For mine I picked white, sparkle and I guess you could say nature.

It all started with the snowflake circle from Memory Box cut in Altenew Moonstone glitter cardstock.  The Winterhaven images from Catherine Pooler were cut from white and arranged on a circle to fit behind the snowflake frame. To keep it white, I taped the window and door cutouts in place. Nuvo glitter drops were added to the tops of the houses and trees.  The peace die from Ellen Hutson is also cut in Moonstone.  

The sponsor for this challenge is Top Flight and they will award the winner a $25 store credit. 

What two will you pick for your card?  We can't wait to see.

The Paper Players #764

I had some lull time today and went looking for a card challenge.  The Paper Players had one that brought to mind a die set I had been meaning to use.

The bulbs are from Lawn Fawn and I wanted to make them from Treasure Cardstock from Spellbinders.  I had the blue and red but wanted yellow so I used an Altenew artist marker in Lemon Yellow to color the Antique Treasure cs and used the matte metallic from each pack for the bottom layer that shows through as a highlight.  What looks like black on my card is actually silver from Recollections, used for the string, bulb tops and border.  The sentiment is from Concord and 9th.
