Up first for today I Emily's new set,
A Very Merry Christmas:
And here is what I have done for today:
I heat embossed the sentiment and then just loosely watercolored a tree shape around the already tree shaped image. Added a bit of fake snow at the bottom and ribbon treatment and done! :D I do like how this turned out using non traditional colors! Its kinda hard for me to do that! LOL! I do have a more traditional one:
For this card I used some clear acetate with polka dots for the card base. The sentiment is heat embossed with red glitter embossing powder and I made it into an ornament by stacking several of the ornament shape cutouts I had and got lucky that they fit perfect! I was going to make a shaker out of it but it covered too much of the gorgeous sentiment and didnt want that in this card! The ornament I made can be removed and used on the recipients tree if they want! Ok, Next up is a new set by Alicia called
Snowbirds:
Arent they just awesome birds? I had to color the little Titmouse:
This card started off as going to be a spotlight technique card, but then it just evolved to where you can hardly see it, lol! I also used the musical background stamp on this. I watercolored the little birdie and then did some detailing with pencils, he was fun to color! I will definitely be doing the other birds too, especially that cardinal! love! I also wanted to show this card that I made using just the feathers and a bit of stitching!
The story/inspiration for this card? Well, a big ole smudge I made right in the middle of the card...no way to hide it that I liked, so got frustrated and tore it in half and just pitched into garbage and then...Light bulb moment! I took it out and tore the edges some more and then added the stitching as if trying to 'fix it' by sewing back together, lol! And so many fell in love with this like me too! :D
Ok, ready for some awesome eye candy from my fellow DT? just follow the links below!
