Ho, Ho, Ho. The countdown is on!! Are you ready?
I’m not but I’ve only had all year to prepare for it - haha.
Here I am with my first Design Team make for the December Challenge 'Christmas' over on Facebook for Country View
Crafts and Challenges.
The challenge is open worldwide and you can join
the group here:
You must use products from brands that Country View Crafts stocks, and please mention them in your post. You can enter 5 times each month with different projects and one winner will be selected randomly. The prize for this month's challenge is a workshop in the new year with one of our Design Team - Zoe Hillman. Very exciting.
For my first make for this month I wanted to create a Winter Wonderland Christmas Card as I’m in need of more cards.
To
begin with, I stamped with black Memento Ink, this gorgeous cutie
‘Ginger’ from Janet Klein AALL And Create Ginger’s Gingerbread set. I
coloured her with alcohol ink markers and then fussy cut her out.
With the set Vault Festive Wreath from Tim Holtz Sizzix, I cut out three of each, of my two chosen leaves on white card.
For
the background I cut a 5x5 inch piece of white card and created an inky
background using Distress Speckled Egg and Tumbled Glass. I then added
some Tumbled Glass Distress Spritz and some white acrylic splatters.
Once
dry, I stamped on the tree from AALL and Create Janet Klein #609, and
the sentiment from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Mr Frostie CMS499 in
black ink. I coloured this with light alcohol ink markers as I didn’t
want it to take over the card.
I also stamped a few of the small snowflake from Mr Frostie in Speckled Egg Archival Ink.
I
then assembled and glued Ginger and the white leaves onto this. And
then I distressed the edges and mounted it onto black card to form a
border.
I prepared my base white card -
measuring almost 6x6 inch and added some Speckled Egg Archival Ink small
snowflakes around the edges, and then mounted the main layer onto
this.
To finish, I used some Glossy Accents and Stickles to add some texture to the card.
And here’s my Winter Wonderland card. I hope you like it and may be inspired to create one too.
I hope that you'll want to join in the Country View Crafts and Challenges December 'Christmas' challenge on Facebook to win this month's fabulous prize.
Thank you for stopping by.
Merry Christmas.
Hugs
