Triple post!

Our November challenge them over at

WE LOVE STAMPING

is Christmas Critters!

Perfect time to get another Christmas card made.

Of course we have two fabulous prizes this month!

and

Dies, Christmas Design Papers and free artwork and

reflections download from Highlight Crafts

For my card I started with a blue base card.

I then tore some white paper to form the snow

and used embossing paste and a snow stencil

from Polka Doodles to add the snow over it all.

I then stamped the bears, parcels and trees

using an old SU set called Beary Cute.

Coloured them up and cut them out so

I could set them in place.

I stamped the Merry Christmas in red ink

from the same stamp set then

ran my blue marker around the edge to

highlight it a bit more.

It's also time for our November challenge over at

TAG-ALONG (and ATC's)

where I have chosen the theme of

make your own background.

You can make this as simple or as complicated

as you like or you can go with anything goes theme.

For my background I made some napkin paper.

I used a plain white napkin, separated and

painted over it with watered down pva glue.

The paper naturally wrinkles.

I then painted over it with distress oxides

in different colours and before it all dries

I sprinkled with glitter and micro beads.

When fully dried I peeled it off my

silicon mat and cut to the size of my tag

and stuck in place.

I then stamped the houses using

From Our House to Yours stamp set (SU).

I added some colour with markers and

then cut them out.

Before sticking in place I stamped some

trees in the background.

I then stamped and embossed the

sentiment on some vellum and

wrapped that around my tag.

I used a tiny piece of my background paper

to create the tab at the top and added

a Christmas tree brad in silver.

I used the same background paper for my ATC.

This time I added some black text stamping

and bell stamp from IndigoBlu.

 I stamped the bell twice so I could three d it

and then coloured it in with markers.

I added some white stella paste around

the edges and rubbed some over my paper

using my finger for a frosty feel.

I finished with a stamped sentiment

from the same set.
