Merry & Bright

Hello there friends!

 

I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving!

 

I have a card for Papertrey's November Blog Hop that I would like to share with you all featuring What the Doodle Ornament. Here is this month's inspiration photo. Isn't it a beauty? Love all the different ways you can gather inspiration from this one!

 

I did a little water coloring to the background and ornaments with my Gelatos. It's been a long time since I used them so I pulled them out of my closet and got busy. This is what I can up with.

 

Also used was the new scalloped A2 verticle die released this month and Wink of Stella was applied to the center of the ornaments and berries.

 

Thanks for dropping by and enjoy the hop!

For my card today I chose What the Doodle: Snowflake and coordinating die by PTI. The sentiment is from Bright Baubles by Neat and Tangled.

 

I sponged the background with Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass distress inks on a stitched rectangle panel that was cut from a wafer die by Simon Says Stamp. I added water splatters to several areas of my card as a finishing touch. 

 

I have linked my card to several current challenges that are listed below this post.

Christmas Greetings

Good morning!

 

I am playing along in a new challenge, new to me that is, and it's at the

 Mod Squad Challenge Blog

This week's challenge is

GO FOR THE GOLD

(include gold on your project)



Here is my take featuring Festive Foliage by Gina K. Designs. Illustrated beautifully by Claire Brennan.

 

 First, I sponged the background with dye inks. Next I stamped the pinecones with versa mark on white cardstock, heat embossed them with gold embossing powder and fussy cut them out. Lastly I adhered them to the areas where the pinecones were stamped on my panel. I did add several pinecones in areas that needed them. The sentiment was also heat embossed with gold.

 

The stitched rectangle panel is a wafer die by Simon Says Stamps.

 

Thanks for stopping by!
