52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge
There is a new challenge theme on the "My Time To Craft Challenge Blog". Challenge #411 has a theme of "Christmas Scene". This is the card that I made to help promote the challenge as part of the Design Team.
For the background, I repeat stamped a Lavinia Stamps "Christmas Words" stamp in Versafine Clair "Medieval Blue". I used the same ink to stamp the main image. I don't recall who makes this stamp as I have had it for some years. I coloured the star with Distress Oxide Ink in a shade called "Wild Honey".
It's time for a new prompt on the "My Time To Craft Challenge Blog". Challenge #410 is "Christmas Animals". If you have a minute to spare, please do pop over to the challenge to take a look at the fab creations by my Design Team colleagues.
For my card I've used a Stampin' Up embossing folder called "Softly Falling" for the background.
For the wreath, I have used another Stampin' Up product called "Swirly Scribbles" thinlits dies and the "Pretty Pines Thinlits" dies for the foliage behind the penguin.
For the penguin and the sentiment, I used a Funky Fossil clear stamp set called "Festive Penguins". I stamped the penguin on a spare piece of card and the sentiment in Versafine "Smokey Gray" ink. I used water colour pencils to colour the penguin, I then cut it out and adhered the shape over the wreath and foliage.
The theme for the "My Time To Craft Challenge" #407 is "Inside Out (make it as pretty inside as it is out). If you have a moment to spare, please do pop over to the challenge blog and take a look at the fab makes by my Design Team colleagues.
This is the card that I made for the challenge. I have used two shades of Distress Oxide Inks (Worn Lipstick and Wilted Violet) through the Funky Fossil Designs "Circle Burst" stencil, on both the front and on the inside right hand corner of the card.
Using Versafine Clair "Monarch", a purple shade of ink, I stamped the Visible Image sentiment "Wake Up Awesome" to the front of the card. I used the same ink to stamp the Stampin' Up sentiment from thier "Part of my story" stamp set for the internal sentiment. Finally, I added some purple sequins to the front of the card.
