Creative Card Crew Challenge: Christmas Lights

Good morning!  It's time for another challenge at the Creative Card Crew blog.  This fortnight our challenge is "Christmas Lights".  Our sponsor for the challenge is Robyn's Fetish and I chose a light of the old fashioned variety...a candle!  I decided to do something a bit different and made a tag, and then wrapped the gift with extra DP so it would coordinate.

I printed the image, colored it with pencils, then die cut it.  The tag is a PTI die; before cutting it, I applied a strip of DP.  I added a Cheery Lynn flourish, some twill and twine.

Hello! Melissa, from the Tuesday Morning Sketches blog, has another sketch for us this week. Our sponsor, for this challenge, is Prairie Fairy Designs; Roberta has some really cute images.

I did have to adjust the layout a bit, since my image was rectangular. I flipped the sketch and altered the placement of the ribbon embellishment. It was fun to make a winter themed card; I just love snowflakes!

I added some shading to the image with gray pencils and a bit of blue and gray to the snow. Next, I cut the image and sponged the edges before putting the "puzzle" back together. I layered a couple of snowflakes cut with a Martha Stewart punch and embellished it with a Bella Dot.

It's Bellarific Friday!

Happy Friday!

Our challenge this week was Olympics or Winter Sports. I went with "Glideabella" and a layout that I use often for the Bella stamps; it works really well with tall, thin stamps. Glideabella is colored with Prismas/Goo Gone and I used Spellbinders dies to make the snowflake embellie. I couldn't find a cream colored brad for the center of the snowflake, so I used a small circle punch and glittered it up. The taupe colored paper says "Winter Wonderland" on it; it's very faint in the picture.

SSHP14: Snowflakes Gone Wild!!!

I have really been into snowflakes lately, so when I found out that was the challenge at Saturday Spotlight with Hidden Potential this week, I just had to play! I also used a MOJO Monday sketch.

I received this cute Lily image from my friend Jessica and she has been sitting on my table for awhile now.... Just waiting for the right project.... I love the Pink Cat Studio images, but this Lily is just a bit different.... Can you tell what the difference is? She has no culiques! They are tucked inside of her hat! I think she is just the cutest!

I paper pieced Lily's outfit and that was a challenge! It took me a few tries to get the DP lined up "just so".... I think I've got the hang of it now! I added a touch of Martha Stewart Crystal Fine glitter to her hat brim and muff.

To make the snowflake, I used 3 different Spellbinders dies and glittered up the first and third layers and then embellished it with a brad. I used Art Glitter in "Fossil".

Not sure if you can see in the photo or not, but the strip across the top says "Winter Wonderland".
