CHRISTMAS CRAFT CREATIONS - ONE LAYER

Our challenge this month at Christmas Craft Creations is one layer.  Wow this was a real challenge for me as I am loving all my collage and mixed media at the moment.  I really wanted to use the Tim Holtz Christmas Tree stamp set called Watercolour Trees.  

I've been looking for a nice O Christmas Tree stamp sentiment and found it on this set so decided to use it here.  I stamped one of the trees first then masked it off and added the sentiment over it -first generation stamping at the top and bottom and then stamped off for over the actual tree.

I added two Distress Inks to stamp the tree and added some Nuovo Drops to look like fairy lights.  I really had to walk away from this to stop adding anything else and keep it one layer.

613 Avenue Create -

We have a lovely Mood board for you at 613 Avenue Create this month.  I can't wait to see how these gorgeous colours will inspire you.

I love stamps that have wellington boots with flowers in and I have this lovely cute set from Simon Says Stamp called Choose Joy.  One of the great stamps in this set is a plaid stamp that allows you to make your own gingham. I used Tim Holtz Spun Sugar for the background and added some of the leaves in Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive.

The Boots were coloured in with an SU Blender Pen in basic grey and the flowers coloured in with the same Tim Holtz colours and cut out with a stitched die.  I used another die to cut out the rose paper from my stash and added some nuovo drops for an extra bit of colour.

I'm adding this into the following challenges -

SWEET STAMPIN - SPRING MOODBOARD

We have a lovely Spring Moodboard for you this time at Sweet Stampin.

I have this lovely stamp set from Simon Says Stamp called Choose Joy and I knew I just wanted to use those lovely wellington boots filled with flowers.  The stamp set has a stamp which creates the plaid grid - such a great idea and a lot of fun to use.  I used Stampin Up cardstock in Soft Sky and used the same ink to add the delicate plaid background. 

I used Spellbinders Cutting Dies for my image.  I coloured the boots and flowers with Distress Inks.  The sentiment is from the same set.  I added a few Nuovo Drops to finish off the card.

I'm also adding this into the following challenges:
