Stampin' In Alaska

  I'm joining the current challenge at Power Poppy to use shimmer and shine on our projects.  My card features their beautiful Snowy Church digital set.   The digital image was printed onto water color paper and water colored with Peerless water colors.  Stickles were added randomly.  The panel was layered onto silver glitter cardstock and snowflake embossed base.  A glittery snowflake and gem finish the card.  I would like to share my card with the following: Power Poppy Blossom Challenge: Gold, Silver and Shimmer PIP Challenge #2246 Anything Goes   Polkadoodles Craft Challenge:  Week 46 Anything Goes   Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge:  November Anything Goes

  I'm sharing a fun fall coffee/cocoa card tonight featuring MFT Sweater Weather in the Woods set.  Of course, living in Alaska, I had to create at least one card with the adorable Birdie Brown Moose! I started with a kraft panel as my base and used the Tim Holtz splatters stencil with Rich Cocoa Memento ink.  The moose image was stamped with VersaClaire Pinecone and colored with Prismacolor pencils.  A coordinating sentiment and enamel dots finish the card.

My shaker card features a sweet digital image from super sponsor Sweet 'n Sassy called Snowman in Mug .   The image was printed, colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.  The mug was paper pieced with coordinating paper from Doodlebug.

  Beccy's Place has a lovely new Christmas themed digital set this month called Holly Days .  This set comes with 5 black and white line drawings, 5 full color images and 5 word images / sentiments.  I had so much fun creating projects with this set! Card #1 Peace on Earth started with an enlarged print of a holly sprig.  It was colored with Copic Markers then layered onto designer papers from Basic Grey's Jovial pad. A machine stitched border, gems and the sentiment printed onto a banner finish the card. Card #2 Holly Days began by creating the base panel with various holly images from the set.  I used Microsoft Word to scatter the pre-colored images.  It was then printed onto designer paper from Basic Grey's Jovial pad.  The Holly Days sentiment was enlarged, printed and layered onto red cardstock.  A few sparkle enamel dots finish the card. The Mixed Media Tag began with a pre-cut kraft tag.  I applied a layer of deco foil transfer gel duo...

  Happy Saturday!  I hope everyone gets a chance to be creative this weekend.  In Anchorage, we received our first snow this week.  It will be a very long, snowy winter but always warm and toasty in the craft room! I'm joining the current Art Impressions challenge with a stenciled background for the adorable turkey bum from (retired) AI Gobble Set.  The image was colored with Copic markers and layered onto a wooden floor from a MFT set called "On Solid Ground". A couple of sequins and sentiment from the same AI set finishes the card.
