It's Merry & Bright

It's certainly looking like Christmas now!

We are into our last CUTploration Challenge of the Year

and what better Inspiration Photo than this beauty.

So much to choose from here.

The Silvery Tree got me motivated and 

that is what I went with for my focal point.

I went with traditional Christmas colours

as is on the photo. 

My Christmas Tree is from

 CUTplorations Christmas Icons Christmas Tree 1

which is cut from glitter paper. I have used it again

matting behind my Brusho's background.

Both were cut with 

CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies

Adding my Merry and Bright sentiment from

STAMPlorations Christmas Elf

I added a light spray of Iridescent Medium

 to my Brusho Background

popped my tree after adding a tiny star and a few gems.

Wishing You Happiness

It's Colour Week at Just Us Girls and our Host is Nancy

choosing Dark Pink Pink & Blue.

I'm afraid my photograph hasn't shown the true colours

of my stenciled flower. The darker pink looks quite red here

but in fact is a really nice pink. 

I made this a fairly cas card by stenciling the

ARTplorations Rose Duet  in Altenew Frosty Pink & Coral Berry

I then sponged Sparkle Medium over the flowers 

for a little shimmer.

The border dies are from 

CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Rectangle Nesting Dies

and the top one is popped to show a frame.

I splattered some blue acrylic paint to add a bit of interest

after I had stamped my sentiment from

STAMPlorations Fond Expressions 2

I inked it with SU Brilliant Blue but was a little dark so

inked it again with Hero Arts White Pigment Ink to lighten it.

This card was not my idea. I saw This One

 from Wei Wei Wang and cased it. 

Don't forget to pop over to our blog Here
