12 Months of Christmas

I have been chosen to be a part of The 12 Months of Christmas design team. This is my first card for the new team.

 

This beautiful paper is from:

 

 

Decosses Dynamite Doodles

 

Please go visit them, they have a wide variety of beautiful papers and digis to choose from. Lisa is very talented and it shows in her designs.

 

I downsized the design so that it would fit on the face of my card which measures 5 1/2" tall x 4 1/4" wide. Then I stamped the sentiment in red and the holly bells in black and colored the bells and leaves in using some colored pencils, I added red pearls for the holly.

 

The stamps are from the, "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" set from:Plum Purdy Designs by Renee Mullins another very talented lady.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by.

 

 

 

Path of Positivity - Challenge #21 Midway Post

I'm a Guest Designer this month at Path of Positivity this month's theme is Faith. I'm very honored to have been asked to take part in this challenge.

 For the midway post I decided to use this design from: Pickled-Potpourri  this was a very easy image to work with and the sentiment is already on the card.

 

I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color the design then I layered it onto a piece of silver glitter paper that I embossed using my eBosser and Delicate Dots folder. The card base is DCWV, I added a piece of gold and white twine to the side and some jewels to the opening edge and a red bow under the candlestick.


The reason I chose this image is because the sentiment says it all, Christmas is the most Blessed time of the year and a true miracle happened when our Lord, Jesus Christ was born.

The celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ is the Holiest day of the year.  Whatever your own personal beliefs, it is important to have faith in your life.  The idea of believing in something that you can't tangibly see or hear, like love for example, helps to give us hope; and, we could all do with a little more hope.

The sponsors and prizes for this challenge are:

• A prize package of a $7 gift certificate to the Pickled Potpourri Designs store (good for any digital product), from our guest sponsors this month, for the post or project that the DT deems most inspiring of the bunch.
• Three digital images from Fresh Brewed Designs for a person chosen in a random draw based on all entrants.
• One digital image from Creative Bug Digital Stamps for each person chosen as a DT Delight.

There will also be:

• One digital designer paper (made to order in a few different ways) from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles for one lucky voter who leaves a comment.
• One digital sentiment for every single person who enters the challenge.

Path of Positivity Challenge #21 - Guest Designer

I'm a Guest Designer this month at Path of Positivity this month's theme is Faith. I'm very honored to have been asked to take part in this challenge.
  For the start of the challenge I decided to use this design from: Fresh Brewed Designs  the simple beauty of the image really drew me to it.

 

I used my Tombow markers to color the design then I chomped my corners with my corner chomper and layered the image onto a piece of red glitter paper. I printed my sentiment with my printer, chomped the corners and layered it onto red glitter paper. I added some Zva Creative bling and a piece of green twine. My card base is from My Mind's Eye. I also chomped the corners of the card base.

The reason I chose this image and sentiment is because

the celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ is the Holiest day of the year.  Whatever your own personal beliefs, it is important to have faith in your life.  The idea of believing in something that you can't tangibly see or hear, like love for example, helps to give us hope; and, we could all do with a little more hope.

For my midway post which will be posted on December 15th, I chose an image from: Pickled-Potpourri .
