Day 4 Holiday Chaos - BINGO - Catch the bug

Tuesday December 5, 2017

 

Day 4 of Holiday Chaos at Catch the bug..  it's also New Release day so we used this new release and bingo card..

 

challenge is BINGO card

 

 

 
This is the new release Penguin with ornaments  which can be found in the Bugaboo store. 
I chose the middle row.. Sentiment / free spot /3 layers.. I kinda used a lot of the squares but I needed three in a row..
I used blue card stock and Simon Says stencil and added the snow with texture paste. I set it aside to dry.. I then took Lawn Fawn hills die and cut it from some silvery card stock. I added some Lawn fawn houses and Simon Says trees. I added the sentiment from Paper Trey Ink and cut it out using a My Favorite Things banner die. I used colored pencils to color the penguin image and ornaments. I added pearls and Spectrum Noir glitter pen.

Day 2 Holiday Chaos - Sketch - Catch the bug

Sunday December 3, 2017

 

Day 2 of Holiday Chaos at Catch the bug... Today it's Sketch day..

Of course it needs to be Christmas/Holiday card and follow the sketch.

 

 

 

 

This is the sketch for you to follow..

 

This is my card using the image Ruby Christmas Tree  I chose some colors that are probably more masculine. I liked the colors and last few years I have seen quite a few new colors vs. the usual greens and reds.

Welcome to another challenge at Creative with Stamps #21..

The theme is REINDEER

 

add this banner to your challenge listing line ups when you link to our challenge.

 

 

This is my reindeer card. I first white embossed the Hero Arts trees and reindeers. I colored them with Zig markers. I then took some Ranger inks and created the background and hills.  I die cut the images and added them to the scene. I added the white embossed greeting from Simon Says. A couple of the trees are solid white embossed so for two of them I added Nuvo drops. I added some white gel pen dots for snow in the sky.  These reindeer sure look like they are having fun and all warm in their sweaters.
