3 - 2 - 1 Challenge Jo's Scrap Shack #167

 It is time for a 3-2-1 Challenge over at Jo's Scrap Shack. You have to use 3 Colors, 2 Embellishments and 1 Technique on your project.

I had this beautiful wreath image from this week's sponsor, Robyn's Fetish to work with.

 

This week's prize is 3 images from Robyn's Fetish. 

 

 

My 3 colors are: white, red and green

2 embellishments: Stickles (red berries on wreath) and Glazed Dimensions (of the ribbon

1 technique was to take some transparent texture paste, color it with some green distress ink and apply to edge of my card with a stencil.

 

I used watercolor pencils to color the image, I used 3 different greens and then blended them together with a paint brush and some water. Then I fussy cut the wreath out and added the Stickles and Glazed Dimensions.

 

The sentiment is a stamp from my stash, stamped on white, layered onto red and adhered to the card face with foam pads. The wreath is also adhered with foam pads. I used some Craft Smith paper for the card base.

Give Thanks Blog Hop

'Thank you' is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.
Alice Walker...

Welcome to the Give Thanks Blog Hop! 

You should have arrived from Alicia's Blog or if you are lost start at the beginning Alicia's Blog. As we approach the holiday season, I think it is appropriate we should reflect on things for which we can be thankful. We can be grateful for the little things and we should be grateful for the big things. We should take the time to give thanks for all the persons and moments that make our lives so special. 
 
Sooooo, we would like to say a HUGE THANKS to our sponsor today.

Recipes:

"Thank you" card":

The center area was colored with a Gelato then I added some texture paste on the corners with a stencil. After the paste was dry I used a mini distress ink pad to add some color. Then I added some Imaginisce jewels and a piece of twine.

"Twist and Pop" Card:

I got the directions from: You Tube.

Turkey images from: Ewe - N - Me Printables.

I added some jewels to the sentiment panel to hide the glue dots under the vellum.

I added some twine to help hold them closed while they are traveling through the snail mail system.

The cards are a whole lot easier to make than they look, please give them a try.

I am entering these cards into this challenge:
Robyn's Fetish - 342 - Anything for Thanksgiving

Blues & Greens

I decided to have some fun with my favorite colors, a stencil, a bit of texture paste and some embossing powder.

 

I used watercolor paints to color a white base, I used 2 blues and 2 greens then I used an old background stamp I have with some azure blue Staz On ink. I added some texture paste with a Clear Scraps stencil I have had in my stash forever. I actually bought it at the Archiver's that used to be in Novi, Michigan before moving to Arizona.

After adding some azure blue ink to the upper corner I decided to leave the texture paste I had added to the bottom corner white.

The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark and I added some blue embossing powder. I also did one using gold embossing powder but I liked the look of the blue one better. Then I used VersaMark and green embossing powder on the butterfly and cut it out with it's matching die, a set from Art C (there are no names on the packages but this one has 2 different size butterfly stamps and dies with an embossing die for the larger butterfly).
