INKspirations!

This week's theme on Weekly Christmas Card challenge is using a church as the main focal point.  I actually have an oldie but a goodie stamp from Stampin' Up that my mother gifted me years ago.   The card base is a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch square.  The Church was stamped in distress ink and used a watercolor brush to soften some lines and add a little more ink to the shadows.  Yellow distress ink to light the windows.  To accent the snow, stickles was added to the edge of the snow and the roofline.  Supplies Used:  Stamp:  Stampin' Up - 2005 Silent Night, God's Peace Card Stock: Stampin' Up - Night of Navy Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Faded Jeans, Fossilized Amber Dies: Simon Says Stamps- Strips 1 Wafer Dies  Have a great weekend!  Thanks for stopping by!

Valerie Kaye Hello!  The weather took a dive today, and we are expecting 3 1/2 inches of snow!  It’s probably time to take my little ghosty off the front porch.  😆 That’s okay, making Christmas cards is actually so therapeutic.   Today’s challenge hosted by Just Us Girls is inspired by a mood board.   Just Us Girls #754 I was inspired by the center grey stone with the gold pine cone.  I also loved the circular gold confetti plate.  These were the elements for inspiration. I focused on grey and gold for the color palette and used an embossing folder for the pine branches.  The ornament was heat embossed in gold, and then finished using nesting frames.  The gold confetti was incorporated by using the frame die.  This was such a fun challenge!  Supplies Used: Stamp: Stampin Up-Ornamental Pine Sentiment: Unity-Winter Blessings Dies: Stampin Up-Ornate Garden  Ink: Ranger Archival Ink-Watering can Cardstock: Stampin Up Very Vanilla...
