Bah Humbug Week 12 - Christmas Trees

Over at Bah Humbug this week the challenge is Christmas Trees.

For my card I masked off a "moon" and mountain shape and then brayered with Adirondack "Stonewashed".  I then stamped my tree from Elusive Images Holly Flourish and added "snow" by sponging ink.

Less is More Week 8 - Sketch

Over at Less is More this week they have a sketch to follow.  This is the first time I've followed a sketch, in fact its the first time for most of these challenges!
For this card  I punched some pink polka dot paper from Pink Petticoat Vintage Rose Collection. I then die cut a circle (in deep pink cardstock) and a smaller doily shape (from PP patterned paper) both with Nellie Snellen Multi Flower die, added a Tim Holtz Swirl and a rose/butterfly embellishment. Finished with a sentiment.

Bah Humbug Week 11 - Metallics

Over at Bah Humbug this week the challenge is Metallics.  For my card I have used one of the first stamps I ever bought (seems a long time ago!) and embossed with gold EP.  The image was then coloured with metallic mica powders using an aqua brush.

Less is More Week 7 - Masculine

This weeks challenge at Less is More is "masculine". Always difficult and trying to keep it simple makes it even more so!

I used the Tim Holtz mini stamps (from recent QVC purchase) and archival black ink.  A really quick card as I put harlequins, car and sentiment all onto the same acrylic block and inked and stamped in one go! I then lined up harlequins and stamped a second row.

Less is More Week 6 - Off the Edge

This weeks challenge at Less is More is to create a card with part of the image off the edge of the page.

For my card  I masked off a strip with low tack tape and swiped with Marvy Heritage "Lavender Fields" dye ink.  Removed the tape and stamped three dragonflies (freebie from Craft Stamper) with Brilliance "Platinum Planet". It looked awful - too pale.  But before I consigned it to the bin I overstamped with Versafine "Onyx Black"  Rescued!  Finished with a Wedding Day banner also coloured with Marvy ink.

Bah Humbug Week 9

Hi everyone,

This weeks challenge over at Humbug Hall is "embossing".

For this card I embossed some cream cardstock using Crafts-Too Noel embossing folder and rubbed gold wax over  the embossed areas - much more sparkly in real life!  I then matted onto gold mirri card and then brown cardstock. I finished with two Petaloo flowers, a brad and two die cut leaves.

Yet another Bah Humbug!

My last card for the Bah Humbug challenge Things that Fly.

This time I brayered Adirondack cranberry, denim and eggplant onto glossy card remembering to mask off a moon shape and hills.  I then stamped the Santa image (See D's) and the trees (Hobby Art) with archival ink.  I then layered onto black glossy card and then white cardstock.  Sentiment is printed on the computer.
