HMFMC #430 Anything Goes + Option Christmas

I'm joining the current House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge with their Christmas option.  The mousey image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and Copic Markers.

Designer paper layers are from a Hobby Lobby Winterland Cabin paper pad.  All layers were mounted onto red glitter card stock.  The final card size is 5.50 inches square.  A few gems complete the card.

Creative Worship Stamps - Christmas Challenge card

 

I'm sharing a mixed media Christmas card featuring the Forest Silhouettes Die set from Creative Worship Stamps (formerly Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps).

The card base is a Gelli Print which was created using acrylic paints and a Memory Box snowflake stencil.  The Psalm 23 Background stamp from Creative Worship Stamps was stamped in Majestic Blue Versafine ink then light white paint splatters were applied.

I went "old school" creating the snowy base by tearing then inking the edges of white card stock.  The dies were adhered and finished with silver cord and a sentiment from Colorado Craft Company.

Art Impressions Challenge #393 Teeny Tiny

 

It's been a few weeks since I have joined the Art Impressions Challenge.  The current theme in "Teeny Tiny".  My photo is somewhat deceiving since this tag is actually 3 inche x 1 inches.

I stamped, colored and die cut images from the AI Dog House Cubbies set (5101).  Only a portion of the dog house stamp was used by inking only one house and fussy cutting.  The dogs were stamped onto watercolor paper then colored with Tombow Markers.

The tiny tag was in my stash.  It was made using scrap papers, adhering to card stock with Mod Podge then die cutting with various sizes of tags.  Each tag is unique and it worked great for my Tiny Project!

Beccy's Place October New Release - Country Christmas

 

Beccy has designed another holiday inspired set this month called Country Christmas.  You can find this digital set at Beccy's Place online store now.

I've created two project featuring the new set.  The first clean and simple card was printed onto kraft card stock and colored with Prismacolor pencils.  Stickles were added for dimension.  I really liked how the hanging stars fit perfectly onto the sentiment!

A second project started by recycling a wood block which was left over after removing the rubber mounted stamp.  The block was painted with acrylic paint.  The pre-colored image was merged onto  sheet music then printed and glued to the block.  Additional paints and splatter were added.  I finished with the burlap ribbon edging and Stickles on the ornaments.

Be sure to stop by Beccy's Place store to find this set and many others.  Beccy also generously provides many free digital images, tutorials, videos and card fold ideas.   Beccy also offers her designs in clear sets.  You can find a list of retailers on her blog as well.
