Traditional Christmas Colors

 Time to be starting on those Christmas cards if you haven't yet. Allsorts

Challenge for two weeks is traditional Christmas colors to get you

going, also ATG's is always an option. 

 

 My card:

 

I started with a Sizziz poinsettia embossing folder, I swiped the

poinsettia's with a white pigment ink and then embossed with

a Stampendous PearLuster embossing powder. I then die

cut a Momenta Merry Christmas die set out and layered it, adding

a few gems to the poinsettia center.  This was a set I got

years ago on clearance at Hobby Lobby, nice to finally use it!

Woodland Critters

 

 

Time for another fun challenge at Allsorts, Sarah has chosen 

woodland critters or anything goes. I used Stampin Up Wildlife Wonder 

set for my image and sentiment, I am always in need of  masculine

cards.  The green background card stock was embossed with a Tim

Holtz 3D embossing folder and then I swiped white pigment over

it for added depth.  I layered some woody looking patterned

paper and added a few gems.

Polychromal pencils.  I had a lot of fun coloring this image from Unity 

stamps: Hello Succulents.  I've used the words from this set before but not 

this image.I kept the card simple using just a few layers using StampIn

Ups faux stitching dies.
