Merry Christmas

Here's a quick Christmas card for two challenges.

First, the colors are for the Color Throwdown#839 here. The colors to use are aqua, red and white. I went with Summer Splash and Poppy Parade.

Then it's for Just Add Ink#766 here. It's a one layer card with a stamping/stenciling challenge. This is kinda hard for me, lol. 

I did some dry embossing with the Perennial Postage dies and then some masking.

Jolly Holly and Party Celebrations are the stamp sets.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Jolly Holly and Party Celebrations

Papers: White

Inks: Summer Splash and Poppy Parade

Accessories: Perennial Postage dies, Stylish Shapes dies, Blending Brushes, Masking Paper

Thanks

 


Here's a thank you card for two challenges.

First, I've used the sketch at the Hand Stamped Sentiments#470 here.

Then it's for the TGIF Challenge#539 here. It's an inspiration picture and I was inspired by the pinks and lavenders and thought of these patterns from the Full of Life DSP. I was also inspired to create a bit of a silhouette with the leaf image.

I used the "smooshing technique" on the panel with the leaves. It's super easy. Just get some Fluid 100 Water color paper, ink up your clear stamp blocks, spray some water on the block and "smoosh" that onto the paper. I used some Petal Pink, Highland Heather and Melon Mambo here.

Sunshine Vibes is the stamp set.

Here's my recipe:

Stamps: Sunshine Vibes

Papers: White, Fluid 100 Watercolor paper, Melon Mambo, Full of Life DSP

Inks: Melon Mambo, Petal Pink, Highland Heather, Black

Accessories: Nested Essential dies, Stampin dimensionals
