Hello fellow paper crafters! I've been away for quite some time and am now able to participate in some recent challenges again. This card was for a challenge over at Papercraft Star. This is my first time entering one of their challenges as I just recently discovered their wonderful site. I love their challenges because the pictures they use for the challenges are so "me"!
I instantly fell in love with the image for this challenge. Here's the challenge image.
AWESOME, right?
Here's my card
I used SU! Lovely as a Tree. The sleigh is an oldie from Cornish Heritage Farms and the sentiment is from MFT. I used the masking technique for making the snow drifts using distress inks and added some stickles to the sleigh, which I fussy cut. The pine sprigs were punched using a Martha Stewart punch and the flowers are from Prima, I simply added some white pearl beads in the center. Thanks for looking! Have a great day! Blessings~ Birgit
I'll be so ready to send my Christmas cards out early this year, thanks to the Merry Monday Christmas Card Club challenge over at Always Playing with Paper. This weeks challenge was to make a card with a snowman and I just love all the happy little snowman images that can be found. I used a really old snowman image from Primitive Blessings. I don't even know if they produce stamps anymore but their sets are some that I will hold on to for all my stamping years. They're that cute!! Anyway, here's my card for the challenge.
The background image was stamped using snowflakes from Papertrey Ink and the sentiment is from PTI as well. Thanks for looking! Blessings~ Birgit
Today's card was made for the weekly sketch challenge over at the My Favorite Things blog.
I used my new Timeless stamp set and dies, which are quickly becoming my fast favorites. They can be used with almost any card style! The bird is from Easter Elements and I also used their lattice fence die cut. The banner is from Simon Says.
Thanks for looking! Blessings~ Birgit
Here's the next challenge from Always Playing with Paper. I really liked this color combination a lot!!
Here's the card I made using these challenge colors:
Thanks for visiting! Blessings~ Birgit
So this is my second week joining in on the Merry Monday challenge with the folks at Always Playing with Paper. If you haven't been to their blog yet, you really must go and see all the incredible talent they've got going on over there! In the meantime, while your here, take a look at the card I created for this challenge using only GREEN, WHITE and wood.
I knew I wanted my card to have a crisp, clean look with white as my focal color. I used the Spellbinders "Poinsettia" dies and embossed the background with a wood design by cuttlebug. I added just a hint of sparkle in the center of each poinsettia using stickles.
The sentiment is from PaperTrey Ink. I double stamped the sentiment first in a matching green and then again with black, stamped off once. I wanted it to have a shadowy look to it. Thanks for looking. Blessings to you~ Birgit
