This week we are playing with Fall, Acorns, Leaves, Friends, "Joy", Christmas, animals, and, holidays.
I chose IB193C this week because I really need some more Christmas cards and the IB challenges always help me get the inspiration to create them.
Here is the photo for IB193C 'Tis the Season for Friends'
I was inspired by the sled, Christmas theme, the snow, candy canes, and the word joy.
Christmas Joy card
I began layering the stencils and I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks: Weathered Wood, Candied Apple, Vintage Photo, Frayed Burlap, and Speckled Egg. I also used some Papertrey Ink Spring Rain for the lighter shades.
Tip: Before putting in my glitters, shaker mix, buttons and sequins, I rubbed the stamped card stock piece with my heat embossing anti-static pouch. This helps all the shaker mix move more freely around in the pocket as you will see in my pictures. The shaker mix even flows to the bottom easily, making it feel like a snow globe when you shake it.
The sentiment “Joy” was cut with my Silhouette and blended with Distress Oxide Candied Apple.
And if you want/need a fall-themed card, check out IB193 Friends “Fall” Together inspiration.
And don’t forget, there’s always the sketch

GASP! This is gorgeous, Danni! The stencil is so pretty in those colors and the shaker bits make it elegant and fun! I'm most impressed with the JOY cut from the Silhouette. It's a fabulous element. Wish I knew how to use mine but I've never quite gotten the hang of it.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet card! I studied every.little.detail!
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH! I just bought a bunch of sequins yesterday from Pink Fresh...I wish I had come here first, because that stencil would have JUMPED into my cart! This is amazing! I love the colors that you used too...and a shaker to boot! This is one of my favorites of all your amazing creations!
ReplyDeleteOh my stars, Danni this is frosty and FABULOUS! I love that you added buttons to the shaker mix, always one of my favorite elements to add to a card. And that peppermint striped Joy is super cute. Lots of pretty happening here!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad I popped in to see this beauty. Fabulous layering effect and colours from the stencilling, fun idea to make the shaker element and I love that sleigh. WOW this is a stunner of a card. Tons of inspiration, thank you x.
