Cheers!

Time Out Challenge #125 is up and running. This time it is "Inspired By Words":

"Celebrate Friends, Family, Life!"

Michele Ferguson of I Card Everyone is Guest Designer for this challenge. Michele is wildly talented and so incredibly whitty and fun. I love her work. If you have never had the pleasure, please visit her blog. You will be madly inspired and entertained.

STAMPlorations is our wonderful sponsor. Challenge Winner will receive a $15.00 gift voucher to spend at the STAMPlorations store, and one random winnrer will receive a goody bag of stamps and dies.

To make my card, I pulled out the December 2016 My Monthly Hero Kit. It contains lots of celebratory images and dies. I stamped and die cut the sparkler image 7 times with Tsukineko Silver Shimmer Delicata Ink. I then added a dot of gold to each of the sparkles with a Zig Painty gold pen and I arranged the sparklers in a circle to create a wreath. I die cut the word "cheers" from silver metallic adhesive backed paper (PTI) and placed it under the sparkler wreath. I used Lawn Fawn's Scalloped Rectangle Lawn Cuts with white linen cardstock (PTI), and mounted that panel on to a Ninah Solar White 110# card base.

Sparkle This Christmas

The December Challenge is up and running at Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge. The theme is Anything Goes, and the twist is: SNOW. For my card, I used a die cut panel that I had created previously with Distress Oxide Inks and shimmery watercolors. I made the Alicia Snowflake from SSS the star of the show cutting it from blue glitter paper and centering it in the aperture. I stamped a sentiment from Happy Little Stampers Let It Snow on a banner cut from MFT's Die-namic Fishtail Flags STAX.
