MFTWSC201 & Christmas - Jingle All The Way

Another week over at My Favorite Things with this cute sketch MFTWSC201 and for me another chance to play with more new things.

Also, joining in with Challenge #36 over at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long with their challenge of "Anything Goes" which is another Christmas card done for the Caring Hearts Card Drive. As much as possible, I want to try and create different cards for Christmas and thought it would be perfect to join both of these.

Here is my card:

This color combination came from My Favorite Things Monthly Color Palette and thought to give a go with this card. Click here if you want to view their monthly color challenge. 

Started off with Blueprints 13 since I love that stitching around base and added the Linen Background stamp using Grout Gray ink. Than I went off to play with stencils and molding paste again. Here, I used the Scattered Bars and Concentric Circles. 

After applying the paste, I added some Ranger Holographic embossing powder to add some sparkle. This is so much fun and now want to create more things with modeling paste and stencils and think it could be addicting. Hard to get a good photo of the sparkle look. 

To finish up the card, I used the Chevron border die in white, added Sour Apple by using the Stitched Circle Stax, and last but not least colored in this cute Santa from the Jingle All the Way stamp set and popped him up using foam mount. In the end, I wanted just a little more green, so I went ahead and added some green basic rhinestones.

Challenge #34 - Christmas

What a fun site having Christmas all year long so I decided to join in with their Challenge #34 over at Christmas Stampin' All Year Long with a photo inspiration and anything goes week challenge. Plus this way I get more Christmas cards done for the Caring Hearts Card Drive.

Here is my card:

Since I just got these goodies, I figured why not use them and try to design something I can re-create fast and this is what I came up with. First I started with Spring Flowers Stencil from MFT and used white embossing paste and covered with a mix of clear embossing powder and red glitter.

Since I wanted the flowers a little more vibrant red, I colored over them with my copic red markers cleaning the glitter that was getting on my marker along the way, but it works. Marker looked fine when done.

Stamped this cute little girl from the stamp set: Jingle All the Way using my copics once again and focused on the colors of the photo inspiration (reds, green, white) and popped her up using foam mount. Sentiment came from the set Merry Messages which I just adore. 

I continued playing around and almost added the cute little Christmas tree or some other embellishment but in the end decided to leave it as is and not add more since the glitter makes this card shine and didn't want to take away from it.
