Wishing you the Joy of Christmas

This afternoon I have a non traditional Christmas card... well I think these colours and chevrons aren't really Christmasy... I used the negative of a stencil that had been inked with Distress Inks and then spritzed with water.  I decided to just go with this cool sentiment stamped in purple ink and embossed with pearl white EP.  To finish I layered the panel on metallic purple card onto a cream card and added a few pearls.  I am playing along with Christmas Card Throwdown - Non-Traditional Christmas and Watercooler Wednesday WWC180 - Marsha's "All About Holidays" challenge.  Thanks for visiting and enjoy your weekend

 

Merry Christmas

My card today is using the sketch at Christmas Card Throwdown CCT21.  The stamped and gold embossed image is from my stash and I've never really known what to do with it....so I die cut it within an oval and left it just white and gold - no need to add colour I'm thinking.  Then I found some DP indark green and gold and also die cut a scalloped oval to frame it.  I used the same dull gold as the card base.  Then as the sentiment was the main image I decided to just add a knotted ribbon instead at the bottom.  I am quite happy with how it turned out.  Thanks for taking a peek

Merry Christmas

A late afternoon card for the Christmas Card Throwdown challenge CCT20 - use canvas or wood from you stash.  I have selected a background panel of artist canvas from a pad way back in the bottom of a drawer, which I edged with gold ink.  Then found a stamped sentiment in my stash in pearl gold embossing and layered it onto a light gold paper.  To finish I die cut a poinsettia from from cream and gold card and added a touch of gold ink and a few pearls.  I am also posting to The Holly and Ivy Challenge #18 - Anything Goes. Thanks for taking a peek

Challenge # 18 - Anything Christmas Goes

It's the most Wonderful time of the year

Winter Sports theme at Christmas Card Throwdown CCT19 .... I found this olde fashioned snow scene on some DP - it has a glittery finish so it's all sparkly.  I teamed it with some matching red and green papers and found the sentiment in a paper pad too.  I am also posting to Anything Goes challenge at Holly and Ivy Christmas challenges.  Thanks for taking a peek

Challenge # 16 - Anything Christmas Goes

Christmas Wishes

Last card for the day for Merry Monday #257 challenge - Add a decorated card to your card using texture, bling and die cuts.... Also for the Christmas Card Throwdown colour challenge - Pink, Red and Green.
For texture I embossed the back panel and smooched it with white ink to highlight the raised areas. I die cut my stitched tag and overstamped it with script stamp. Then Stamped my stocking twice.. on green card for the stocking and on white card for the top - used Brushos to colour my images and fussy cut. To finish I added some threads for the tie, a few pink gems and a stamped sentiment.  Thanks for taking a peek

I used this background paper on a card earlier this week and in the same pack was this Christmas tree - so I cut around it and added some "Sparkly" glitter stars. I am playing along with "S" - Sketch from ABC Christmas challenge - S - find a current sketch and link to it.  - This sketch is from Christmas Card Throwdown challenge which I am also going to post to. Happy Little Stampers September Christmas challenge is add some "Sparkle" so I am also playing along here.  To finish my card I added some navy and red ribbon and a stamped sentiment.  Thanks for taking a peek

I've had some fun with this Designer Paper this afternoon, making a couple of cards. I'm using the sketch at Christmas Card Throwdown  CCT17. Stamped and coloured my Christmas mouse and die cut him. Then used a nice bright aqua die cut oval to highlight the image.  Arranged all the bits to the layout and to finish added a stamped sentiment which is die cut with a stitched rectangle die.
