One Christmas and one non-Christmas today!
For Inkspirational "Use Stencils", I used a stencil to create a brick wall background for some festive buildings. It's for a friend of mine who has little white porcelain houses that light up and she stands them on her mantel against the brick wall of her fireplace.
I created the brick wall with a stencil and embossing paste. Then die cut the houses once from white and once from light gold so that I could create the light inside the houses. I cut a narrow strip of kraft cs for the fireplace mantel the houses are standing on.
My second card is for the Allsorts "New" challenge. A friend of mine's daughter is having a baby in a few weeks.
I don't know if the baby will be a boy or girl so I went with colours
that could be for either. As a retired librarian, I always buy books
for new babies, so this very old stamp I have is perfect. It's coloured
with coloured pencils and trimmed with a stitched oval die. The
sentiment is also trimmed with a stitched die.
The background is made out of a paper gift bag that contained a gift the
expectant mother received from her brother who lives in Sweden. I
scooped it up thinking it would be fun to use it for the background for
her baby's card. With green cs, I cut out an SSS thin frame die cut,
and cut the same out of the background paper, then inset the green one
into the background.
