Kraft Christmas trees

 Hi everyone, 

I was really needing inspiration this weekend, and definitely found it with the challenge blogs. Then I was on a role... this card was inspired by Saturday sketch challenge # 764. I cut out the trees from a paper pad from the Dollarama.  I used a red scrap of paper from Recollections for the background, and added it all to some kraft paper. I love the warm colours of this card. 


Thanks for looking at my creations today. I hope you enjoy them.

Fun colour ornaments

 Hi everyone, 

I have another project to post today for the current challenge at Just Add Ink #729.  I saw some of the samples for the challenge and fell in love with Rochelle Blok's 4 Christmas trees designed in the colours of the challenge.  I thought, what dies do I have that I can do something similar and found the ornament die from Memory box.  Mine isn't quite as elegant as hers, but I love the colour combo. I used a matching colour gem with each of the ornaments. I used a Sizzix embossing folder for the background for a little extra dimension. I used a green foil paper around the edge.

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great day!

Christmas owl

 

Happy Sunday everyone, 

I managed to get a few more cards done this weekend, although I found my mojo running a little low. I was happy for the inspiration with the challenge blogs this week. I made this one using the Freshly Made Sketch challenge # 663.

The owl and gift were both cut out from Dollarama paper. I hope everyone has a great week. Thanks for stopping by.

Snowperson & fox

 Hello everyone, 

Today I am posting a card I completed yesterday for Freshly Made Sketch challenge #661.  I have wanted to color this stamp for a long time. Foxes are my nieces favorite animal, so this card may go to her for Christmas this year. I have coloured a second one, but I haven't put that one together yet. The stamp is from Stampendous. I coloured it using some copic markers and some spectrum noir tri-blend markers. I don't have a complete set of either, so I have to go back and forth with what I have. I'm also not the best at colouring, so I don't tend to spend alot on the markers. I found the Tri-blend ones in a set at Winners, and wanted to try them. The papers are some scraps. The blue embossed snowflake paper is a lighter shade normally, so I coloured it darker for this card.




Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day, and please remember our veterans today!
