Joy to One and All

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's time for a new challenge at Color Hues and it's the last challenge 

of the year.  We'll be taking a short break to enjoy the holidays, so you have

a whole month to join in.

This month Tracey picked our colors.  She chose....

I used these fun colors for a Christmas card.

This little gnome was colored with Copics and added over an embossed piece.

I used my punches to make ornaments for the tree and a silvery end to his cap.

The sentiment was done with my Betterpress.

Now let's go and see what my talented friends have done to inspire you.

I hope you'll create a card using Pink & Green and add it to the gallery at

Color Hues.

Challenge ends at 9:00 AM on December 29th.

Card Recipe

Stamps:  PP Merry Sentiment Strips (SB)

Ink:   BP Black

Paper:   Neenah Solar White, Regal Rose, Silver Glimmer, BP Porcelain

Other:  Small Gnome die (SSS), Flowering Christmas Tree Burst EF (SB), Copics (YG17, YG67, W00, W1, R24)

Angel Joy

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I've used something else from my Christmas NBUS box.

I admired this Papertrey Ink die last Christmas and Santa brought her to me.

We won't tell him how long it took to play with her.  Okay?

I want to stay on his good list.  LOL. I need more NBUS!

I used Cécile's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches.

I stamped the stars (it may be NBUS too) with silver ink and heat embossed

with silver powder.  I found two circle dies that would work to cut them out and add

a narrow mat around the starry circle.

The angel was cut from champagne foil that has been in my stash for years.

I've had so much fun with this angel die and will hopefully get some

photos edited and share some more.

Card Recipe

Stamps:  Star Cluster (Lavinia)

Ink:   Encore Silver

Paper:   Blue Sparkle, Neenah, Champagne foil

Other:  Silver EP, Angelic Sentiments Die (PTI), Circle dies (HA & MFT), Joy Die (ECD), Sparkling Diamonds Cover Plate (PFS)

Enjoy!
