Season's Greetings

Hello!

I saw the colors for the Embellish Magazine Challenge and I knew I had to make a card using those colors and play along. The second component to their challenge is to make it a Holiday Theme Card.

The colors are Pink, Red, Green, and Brown! Love it!

I used tone on tone stamping with Pink Pirouette to randomly create a background image with various snowflakes from several different stamp sets. I love mixing and matching sets. Two sets are from Stampin' UP! and one is from Wilson Designs - Snowy Wishes. I distressed my edges with Vintage Tea Stain ink. I then used my Cricut to cut my center image and stamped a musical background image from Timeless Textures from Skipping Stones Designs. I also distressed this to give it a old time Vintage feel!

Again using my Cricut to cut and shadow my Season's Greeting sentiment, I chose to use green and red so it would stand out, and I placed it onto the musical focal point. 

I wanted some darling mittens to add to this Holiday card, so I cut those out and adhered them together and added a button! Adding some beautiful green ribbon for balance and some buttons as a finishing touch. This completes this little vintage holiday greeting!

I am also playing along with Pals Paper Arts - Clean & Simple, Diecuts Dreams Christmas - Anything Goes Christmas, Frosted Designs - Distressing, Our Daily Bread - Holiday, One Stitch at a Time - Chose your Theme or Holiday - Christmas, Alota Rubber Stamps - Let's Celebrate, Simon Stamp  & Show - Whatever Makes You Happy- Mittens and Christmas :-).
Hope you have a great day!

Hello there!

I hope you have had a wonderful Friday and are gearing up for whatever your weekend holds for you!

I am really squeezing in as much craft time as I can in between the craziness of an upcoming BIG MOVE and a little one that has not been feeling well!

I am playing along in a few challenges and one of them is for the Shabby Tea Room and the theme is  What are we Thankful for and they asked us to talk about it in our post.

I am thankful for so many things, but a few that come to mind are: my family, my son, and my husband who provides a safe home us with a job that allows me to stay home for our son.

I started with a Kraft A2 card base. I then dry embossed my Stampin' UP! Whisper White panel and distressed inked the edges using Tim Holtz Distress Inks Wild Honey, Tea Dye, Vintage Photo. I stamped the Small Pumpkin from DeNami Designs in Momento Cocoa and colored in with Copic markers. Using a greeting from the The Angel Company, I stamped my sentiment across my pumpkin to tie our "thankful" theme together. 

I am also playing along with some wonderful great challenges at Frosted Designs - Distressing, Crafty Cardmakers - Spotlight Dry Embossing, Flourishes Bring Back Beautiful - Ribbon.

Alrighty, that does it for me tonight! What are you thankful for? I would love to hear from you as we reflect this week!
