Lolo's theme for the new challenge at Allsorts #706 is
***Anything Goes/ Let it Snow ***
There are two prizes from Oakwood - a Stampendous stamp and 2 stencils
My inspiration card for you is a Hanukkah card made for a dear friend. I used some printed paper for the background and silver heat embossed a snowflake from the recent Gina K Designs Blizzard set. The sentiment is a pre-printed strip.
The new sketch at Try Stampin' On Tuesday has an option of using plaid. That's a look I thought would be really pretty for a Christmas card and I had just the scrap to use!
I cut several of the trees from Gina K Designs Wonderland die set from white and mat gold to stack up. As I've done before, I used the negative cut as a stencil, and did a little ink blending with CTMH inks for some trees in the background. That small piece was edged with metallic gold paint and matted on a piece of charcoal textured card. The sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Holiday Greetings Mix I was gold heat embossed.
Sketch #715 - with a suggestion to 'include some snow'
So I did that. Embossed Gina K Tranquil Teal with a snowflakes folder and then brushed the top with some white pigment ink. The right side was embossed with Falling Dots folder and then sprayer with a Shimmer Spritz. Snowflakes were cut several times with Savvy Snowflakes dies and stacked. The top of each stack was cut from glimmer card stock and then sprayed with spritz and sprinkled with crystal coarse glitter. The sentiment is from an older Hero Arts set.

Allsorts #705 challenge theme: It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!
My design team inspiration for you uses the Center Cut Holiday Floral stamp from Simon Says Stamp. The image was stamped in Versamark and embossed with gold, then I masked a portion and stamped/embossed again. The image was water colored, stamped with a very pale grey ink using an antique script stamp from CTMH, and splattered with white and gold metallic. The sentiments are from Holly Days, a Hero Arts stamp and die set. I edged the water colored panel and sentiments with gold metallic watercolor and adhered all with foam tape to a Grey fog card base.
There are 2 prizes of Card-io stamp sets for winners of this week's challenge! I hope you will join us at Allsorts!
It's a new challenge week at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and my inspiration card for you used a lovely floral stencil from Gina K Designs. To get the overlapping circles from the sketch, I moved the stencil several times. I used Gina K Carnation inks to blend the floral piece and the sentiment from Gina's Flowing Florals set was heat embossed and popped up with foam tape. Before adhering the sentiment, I masked the card base and sprayed with Shimmer Sparkle.
The design team cards will post at AHSC on Wednesday. Hope you will get crafty and join us!
New challenge week Allsorts #704. Ellie's theme this week is
***A/G with Option of Wings and/or Tails***
The prizes this week ALL and Create A5 size stamp set Follow Your Own Path and three images from Ruth Hamilton Design.
My reindeer have tails...and are flying! lol
The images and sentiment are from My Favorite Things set Happy Ho-Ho Holidays. I stamped, colored with alcohol markers and used coordinating dies to cut. The sky was blended with Distress Oxides, water sprinkled and gel pen dots. The snow banks were just hand cut. This is a 3 1/2 x 8 1/2 " slim line card.
I am away from home on a crafting retreat and forgot my camera...so there is some photo quality issues as light is poor and the phone just doesn't do very well. Sorry about that. May add in a new shot when I get home since this turned out so cute.
Please join this fun challenge!
