A chilly day that kept me inside instead of working in my garden. So I made this card for Stamping Sensations "Inspired by Nature" and ABC Christmas Challenge "I is for Image Only - No Sentiment".
Stamped, coloured with coloured pencils, hand trimmed around the oval, and mounted on fun foam on a red card base.
A second card for today - for The Twelve Months of Christmas "Nordic Noel". I'm also linking it up with the Rudolph Days challenge.
I cut the Tim Holtz Nordic Winter die four times (once out of each of white, red, green, and brown cs). I put the white outline (or negative) piece onto a sheet of double-sided tape. I stuck some of the red, green, and brown pieces into their openings. That left all the tiny circles and stars openings - I certainly didn't have the patience to stick little pieces into them but I had to cover up the stickiness of the tape so I sprinkled clear glitter over the panel and pressed it into all those tiny openings. I peeled off the back protective layer from the tape and added it to the card base, and then added a sentiment die cut with a narrow banner die.
One more today to slip into We Love Stamping "Spring is in the Air" before it closes.

That's a lovely card. The image inside the oval is so pretty and really works beautifully with the red card.

Two pretty Christmas cards and one beauty for spring!
ReplyDeleteI love that image from Northwoods. Wonderful colouring and it looks awesome on the red card base. Your Nordic Christmas card is a lesson in patience. :) Great work adding in the various pieces in different colours. Adding the glitter for the really small inserts was a great idea and adds some lovely sparkle to your creation. Great work! And finally, love that sweet spring garden. Wonderful colouring and a lovely CAS design. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards!
