COLOR MY HEART COLOR DARE #526

Welcome back to another challenge from Color Dare.  Shh,, don't tell hubby but this is actually his Christmas card.  I'm safe to show it as he never reads my blog and I'm not even sure he really understands blogland!  

I used Toffee Sage and Periwinkle style colours for my card and I'm really pleased how it turned out as they aren't my usual colours for christmas.

I used Tim Holtz CMS313 Carved Christmas for my main image of the stocking. I kept it simple with that soft blue colour.  The background behind has the same stamp which has been stamped in the toffee colour, spritzed with water then added to water colour card stock to give a soft impression of the same stocking.  I used the same blue to add colour to that layer.  The layer behind that was simply stamped with a stamp from Tim Holtz CMS 142 Mini Holidays - using the holly stamp just around the edges.

The foliage has all been made with Tim Holtz thinlets Holiday Greetings Mini.  I added a bow made from Sizzix and a piece of Ideaology to finish off the card.

THE MALE ROOM CHALLENGE - DECEMBER 2022

Welcome to another challenge at The Male Room Challenge.  This month we are looking for your Transportation inspiration.  Well I'm still in Christmas mode and had a rummage through my stamps - I have the usual car train stamps etc but my eyes lit up when I spotted this stamp by Tim Holtz from his CMS 142 Mini Holidays collection.  I just had to use those camels lol!

I started my card off by using versamark ink and stamping the Three Wise Men and their camels, the star and the sentiments.  The sentiments are all Tim Holtz. The star is from Stampin Up. I used white embossing powder for the star and the words and black for the camels.

I then went over it all with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide in Chipped Sapphire, some Black Soot and Fossilised amber around the star.  I wiped off the excess on the embossed bits to make them shine again.  I used a Tim Holtz star stencil and just lifted off some of the ink.

I'd like to wish you all a very happy and peaceful Season and thank you for playing along with us all year.  See you next year.
