Fun Snowflakes Tag

Hi.  I'm back with another tag for
Loll's Twelve Tags of Christmas

I had some fun with this one!

My mixed media are stamping, Copic coloring, and stenciling with shimmer paste

This is a borrowed stamp that I enjoyed coloring with Copic Makers. 

The stamp is called Snowflakes.

After I cut it down, I used some shimmer paste through a stencil to make some snow.

It's layered up on green and red cardstock .

I should have used some glaze on the glasses but it's not too late.

Santa's List

Hello.  We're over halfway through our CAS Christmas Challenge.

This month our talented Christine is hosting our challenge...

I've use a Santa from this fun set by Birdie Brown.

I love these Santas and they are such fun to color.

I've used some embossing paste through a stencil to look

like writing on the note paper.

The little presents from the set came in handy to hide an oops

from some wandering sparkle paste.  It looked good on Santa's beard

but not so good on the red card base.

The red card base by the way is my "white space".

The Design Team, along with our Guest Designer, Pam, have some

fun inspirational pieces to share with you.

I hope you'll check them out and join the fun!

While I was at it, I decided to put one of these Santas on a tag for

Loll's Twelve Tags of Christmas Event.

My mixed media are Stamping, Copic Coloring, Dry Embossing and Die Cutting.

Loll's Twelve Tags of Christmas: (Open until the 23rd)

Amaryllis for CAS Watercolour

Hello friends.  Today I have another card for
CAS Watercolour

Susan is hosting this month's challenge

I had such fun coloring this beautiful flower!

I inked this NBUS Technique Tuesday Amaryllis stamp with markers and

pulled the color into the petals and leaves with a damp water brush.

By using my MISTI, I could stamp again if I needed to to get

lines back.

I did remember to color alternating petals so the color wouldn't

just run together.

After it was all colored, I pulled some color from the image to

make a soft wash around the flower.

I want to do this flower again.

The Design Team along with our Guest Designer, Maura

have some beautiful Christmas Florals and/or Greenery to share with you.

Hope you check them out.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Emboss, Emboss for CAS Mix Up Reminder

We're halfway through the month and it's time for
more inspiration for CAS Mix Up.

I'm hosting the challenge this month and I chose

I've used my NBUS Tim Holtz Tall Pines Embossing Folder.

First I embossed a piece of Mixed Media paper.

I swiped Distress Ink and Markers on my palette and picked up

color with a damp water brush to watercolor the trees using

mainly Iced Spruce and Pine Needles ink.

Then I inked the raised area on the embossing folder, spritzed with water

and used it as a stamp to get some watery pine trees beside

the embossed ones.

When it was all dry, I used wet on wet watercolor to add

some color to the background.

It's hard to see but I used some second and third generation stamping

between the bases of the trees for shubbery.

I tore a snippet of white cardstock for a snow bank and

stamped with the Iced Spruce I used for the trees.

The stately deer was cut from Crumb Cake cardstock and

stamped with a background stamp in the same color.

There's so many ways to use Embossing Folders.

I hope you'll use one and share your card with us at 

CAS Mix Up.

The challenge is open until November 24th.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Tall Pine Trees Tag

Hi, I'm back with another tag for
Loll's Twelve Tags of Christmas

My mixed media are stamping, heat embossing, alcohol ink and die cuts.

I pulled out a piece I'd done with alcohol inks.  I believe is was greens

and silver mixative.  I didn't make note of it.

I used some snippets of Glimmer paper and die cut these Tall Pine Trees.

The tag die was one of the things I picked up at Catherine Pooler's

recent Trunk Show in Raleigh.  I love the shape and of course had to

have it despite vowing I wouldn't buy much.  Ha!
