ATSM #323- Holiday

Here is a holiday themed card Addicted to Stamps holiday Challenge! I'm sure some people don't want to see Christmas anything for awhile, but it's always nice to have head start for this Christmas! I kept the card pretty simple keeping my image and coloring in the center and only doing a few colors. I stamped the gingerbread house, stamped the decorations and then colored everything. 

I did add some stickles to the candies for some sparkle! 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

ATSM- #280 Photo

Today is the start of a new challenge over at ATSM blog and it's a photo inspiration. 

I just loved all the butterflies and springy colors. So that is what I chose to use for inspiration on my card this week. I used distress inks to blend the colors on a scrap piece of square card stock, that I adhered onto my cardbase. The butterfly was die cut twice and glued together at the body. I fully adhered the bottom butterfly to my inked panel and curled the top butterfly slightly, so the wings pop up a little.

To finish the card I stamped the sentiment below the panel and added some chunky glitter above and below the butterfly. 

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to comment (love reading them)or to follow me (to stay updated with new post).  Have a great day!!!

One Layer Christmas

Hello everyone! It's the first of the month and the means it's time for a new challenge over at a2z scrapbooking! For the month of November our challenge is One Layer Holiday. Here is my card for the challenge...

I started by stamping in a white pigment ink. Then using the same stamps I stamped them in color using dye inks, just slightly off set from the white images. I added a little sparkle by going over the sentiment using a white Wink of Stella.

I tried to take a closer picture, hoping to show the shimmer.
