I am using the cute couple called Cool Couple.. I colored with copics. I then used Ranger ink and reated the night sky.. I added some Spectrum Noir sparkle brush to the moon and kinda in that light color area and the penguins faces.. for night reflections glow. I then created the easel part using Stampin up papers, scraps, My favorite things die and Spellbinder die. The sentiments are from Simon Says and heat embossed. Used some dies to cut out and added the heart to go along with the love penguins.

It's time for a new challenge over at

Cardz 4 Galz #187 

Our theme is 

ANYTHING FROM THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS SONG

                                                         On the twelfth day of Christmas

My true love gave to me
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves

                                                          And a partridge in a pear tree.  

For my card I painted the background using Altenew paints and bleed proof white and created the pond and snowy scene. I stamped the Tech. Tues. swan and colored with copics. I added the swan to the pond.. It's Swans a Swimming.. I know there should of been more but not enough room and it's the thought of swan a swimming. I added the Your next stamp sentiment.

Merry Christmas - Sparkles Christmas #143

Thursday December 1, 2022

Hello

Welcome back.. It's the first of December. I hope your festive holiday month is stress free. Space out your time and enjoy. It's a quiet month at our house. 

We have a new challenge over at 

Sparkles Christmas challenge #143

Our theme is 

Non Traditional colors

For my card I used black watercolor paper and using Co-motion snowflake stamp heat embossed the image. Then used my Paul Ruben metalic watercolors and added colors. I set it aside and let it dry. I then took some glitter paper and Simon Says die and added a few layers to give it some thickness and added the sentiment to the card. 

Side view so you can see more color and the sentiment better without it being washed out from the light I used for my photos

Our theme this month is to create a

TUNNEL CARD

sponsor 

Stampcorner

So I had no idea what a tunnel card was so went to my favorite place.. U-tube.. I found a Jennifer McGuire tutorial and she's always easy to listen to and explains it where I totally understand.. This is what I created. I used My favorite things dies and images. I used Simon Says double stitch circle die. I used my cloud template which I turned upside down to create the water waves and Ranger ink. I used Mission gold watercolors. 

Inside tunnel part - cool huh?

I am the host so got to chose the theme..

BIRDS

I just couldn't resist.. I know it's close to Christmas and probably could of gone that route.. But I was also thinking of the snarky sentiments from Tim Holtz too.. So I just went with it. I have other Christmas cards to post .. I stamped and used copics. I die cut out and went for a few scraps and created the background. I then added the birds and sentiment. I finished with a few left over diamond painting drills.. I just love those cute faces and thought the sentiment fit the look.
