For my project I wanted
to create something I could use for the season as well as have the
mushroom. I have a Gnome Digital stamp
set and kept seeing this great mushroom with a little snow on top.
I took the Gnome and gave
him a little color with a star bling on the end of his hat.
I’m not great with
flocking so I took some Star Dust Stickles and outlined the mushroom and the
cloud for a little sparkle. I used shimmer paper for the snow and cloud. The blue background is from Basic Grey and the card based is Cherry card stock from A Muse Studio.
Hello Everyone, I'm here today with the Getting Ready for Christmas card challenge. We hope that when you play along with this challenge throughout the year, when the season arrives, you will have created enough Christmas cards for everyone on your list.
Today I took a stab at using my Copics and a Bugaboo stamp to create a very simple and easy card.
I started with coloring the tree and then trying to cut it out.
As you can tell, I'm really rusty on blending the darker and lighter tones. Hopefully that will come with a lot more practice.
I used a sage color card stock for my base and Basic Grey Eskimo Paper for the mat.
I have to admit that this is not what I had envisioned when I started. I printed the tree stamp to large so I had to turn my card base. Then i didn't have room for a sentiment on the front. So I went with a real basic stamp on the inside from the A Muse Studio Tis the Season stamp set.
As you can tell I'm hooked on trees right now. So the challenge to go along with this card is
use a Tree on your card.
Make sure to stop off at Crafting By Designs to submit your creation. I can't wait to see what you make.
I hope you all are having fun and enjoying the Christmas Season speeding Joy, Peace and Goodwill. I love this time of year when people actually try a little harder to be nice to one another.
The Smith house is still on the fence about doing the annual baking. At first we decided that the time would be better served to purchase boxes of chocolates and spend more time with family. Then hubby looked at me the other day and said "Well, you have to at least make a few runs of banana bread and some of those sugar cookies."
With the most sarcastic tone I have I replied, "Well if I'm doing that much I might as well do the whole list of goodies and not waist the money on boxes of chocolate." Of course he would want me to bake the most time consuming items. Then my son chimes in via text message and tells me it's not Christmas if I don't make him a pumpkin roll. Giving him a store bought on in November "JUST AIN'T RIGHT".
So anyway, we'll see what happens. If I post pictures of the kitchen in full on backing mode you will know that I decided that crafting took a back seat to backing.
I promised to draw a random winner for a Cool Yule stamp set. There were seven people to comment during the Crafting by Designs Blog Hop.
Love the card! Those stamped trees are beautiful! Hugs, Julia
I want to thank everyone that stopped by during the hop and don't forget to stop by Crafting by Designs and participate in all the different challenges. We would love to see you there.
