WW DT: End of Year Anything Christmas Goes Challenge

 

 Dear Scrappers,

This is my October post for Winter Wonderland Challenge Blog:

Our sponsor for the challenge is the wonderful:

Shop - https://twinklelanedesigns.blog/shop/

Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/145707866223056/

and the prize on offer for the winner is two images of their choice from the shop

I chose the 

Christmas Baubles, Digi Stamps, which is very celebratory of the end of the year.

I went looking for sketches to work with this image and found this one:

Try Stamping on Tuesday 584

This challenge is a collaboration between two blogs, and I used the sketch and combined two different printed papers from the Tattered Lace magazine freebies, one is the stripped paper and the second I used mats for the digital image, with stripped stars in the same colors (yellow and dark red).

double trouble challenge: challenge-126-scrappers-gorp-partnering

However, I did not make to post in time, so I was suggested to join the next challenge:

double trouble challenge: challenge-127-kaleidoscope-of-colors

colorful options: December

I guess my baubles are colorful enough and the card in general is mostly white.

For the digital image, I decided to use metallic red and gold pens, and when coloring with a red pen, it smeared a little bit.

Then, I used distress inks as watercolor media and the unexpected happened and the red/ gold ink smeared worse... so I worked around it and decided to with the mage a bluish background to blend my mistake some:

At least the inside of my card work out better

From sweet sketches challenge blog, see bellow for more info.

I used the matting die to cut the image and then used different distress inks and some HeroArts inks to color it. Then I traced the edges of the die cut unto a larger piece of printed blue cardstock to use as a mat. I fussy cut the blue mat and use the negative corners as part of the sketch embellishment.

I used foam squares to mount the die cut and some bakers twine to complete the look with this month's SCT Sampler sentiment die cut instead of the ribbon.

WW DT: Let it snow -Christmas Card

 

 Dear Scrappers,

This is my October post for Winter Wonderland Challenge Blog:

For this month's challenge, sadly, we don't have a sponsor.

I used an sketch from jingle belles rock: merry-sketch-mas and chose the I chose the Winter Chickadee digital image for my card from :

fred-she-said-store

I found some inspiration in the challenges bellow for my choice of papers and used a negative ornament cut (Sizzix and Hero Arts) from a previous project.

I decided to make a shaker using page protector as transparency and foam tape:

I didn't have read pearls, so I decided to complete the look by coloring the ones I had with permanent marker.

I stamped the inside of a CTMH white card with a Christmas sentiment using Candy Apple distress ink. I cut a piece of embossed cardstock to fit the outside of the card (it had Santa's image, so I liked it for this look) and some peppermint stripped printed paper for the center strip. 

I colored the Chickadee image and finished the shaker using some pearls and other Christmas fillers for the inside. I mounted all pieces together and used double side tape to add to the card.

I assembled the card using the sketch as a simple guide using double side tape, and added the colored pearls as final touch:

The inside:

I used my Tattered Lace tag die to cut the printed image and turned it around to cut the other side as well:

I used a nice Tattered Lace printed cardstock that I had from the magazines, which coordinated well with the wintered themed image. I used a CTMH card kit and picked a nice background with similar colors to the TL printed paper. I then, fussy cute the sentiment from a second printed digital image, outlining the words with a metallic gel pen:

I colored the digital image with more gel pens and used 3D foam squares to assemble the sentiment tag and the colored image to the background paper.

I used the sketch:

I used cupper metallic cardstock.

I colored the printed digital image with distressing inks using a watercolor brush for a soft look. 

I used the sketch:

From try stampin on tuesday current challenge. I die cut a fun scallop border and some tags to add the stamped sentiment from Taylor Expressions (TE).

Materials and tools:

unknown scallop and tags dies

Darisse Reindeer die

DCWV foiled Christmas paper pack
