Tim Holtz Winter Wonderland dies

Hello and welcome. The first challenge of the month is always a sketch at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown – here’s my take on it…

I kept strictly to the sketch, choosing 3 different patterened papers from the same paper pack as the colours co-ordinated well for the 3 horizontal panels.  I added a deckle edge die cut in very vanilla card, and to this I popped up a deer die cut from the Winter Wonderland thinlits die set by Tim Holtz in riding hood red, also popped up with foam pads.

The sentiment was stamped in black in on very vanilla card and cut out with the modern label punch. I then added a red layer using 2 more lable punches and popped this up on foam tape.

I added red stickles to the antlers for some sparkle and couldn’t resist adding a red sequin for a nose.

I hope you’ve been inspired to join the lovely ladies over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown this week – we’d love to see what you make.

Enjoy your weekend.

Christmas penguins in red, white and blue

Hello and welcome.

The colour challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown this week is to use red, white and blue.  I thought these pretty penguins fitted the bill perfectly …

I used 3 shades of blue and teamed it with real red, with splashes of white for a snowy look. I just love these adorable penguin images from Mama Elephant…

The sentiments are by Mama Elephant too…

I popped them up on some foam tape for a little dimension…

I hope you’ve been inspired to join the challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown this week.

There is a DT call too, so if you fancy being part of this wonderful team of designers, hop on over to take part.

Enjoy your weekend
