It's Almost Christmas over at All Dressed Up Stamp Challenge

It is almost time for the All Dressed Up Stamp Challenge to begin and for you to share your creations with us!  I can't wait to see them and to get inspired!

As crafter's, we always look ahead to future seasons when we make our cards.  Or at least I do!  That's why I chose to use the ADU image called "Christmas House" for my DT project.  I fell in love with the gorgeous decorations on the door and entryway. 

As this image only includes the arched unit and step area, I used a brick stencil and some Charcoal ink to create a surround for the door.  I love the look during the Holidays of pinks and silver accents so using copics, white and pink liquid pearls, and silver metallic marker, I created my winter wonderland.

The stiff background cardstock has silver glitter swirls like snow, banks of snow in front of the stoop and a ribbon and bow in soft pink/glitter to finish off the look of the card.  The interior is also finished off with lots of room for messages and/or sentiments.

Thanks for visiting today and please join us over at All Dressed Up Stamps for our month long Challenge.  You too could win images from their wonderful Shop to use on your own Christmas Cards!
 

Christmas Elves from Sherri Baldy!!

 This is one of my latest Christmas cards
using one of Sherri Baldy's latest releases:
Nixie Pixie Img 9, a darling, festive elf in some beautiful Holiday colors.
Colored with copics, I also used some white Flower Soft for the fur pompoms, and iridescent sequins for snow where the image indicated.  I used a Metallic ribbon along with a variety of white toned flowers as an accent in the corner.  It made a great display on top of the lavender and silver scripted Christmas phrases.

On the inside of the card, there's a complimentary Christmas paper and a cardstock sentiment for the Holidays.  I put a silver bling accent on it's corner.

Check out Sherri's shop site and browse through the categories-  you will find so many adorable images for all your card needs!  Thanks for looking!

For my Reminder Image, I'm using Christmas Hair Do.   


It's from Wendy's newest release and just in time for Christmas!  After coloring her with copics, I used the water based white Sharpie fine and medium point markers to make the snowflakes and added some stickles for sparkle.  I thought the white feathers would make you think of snow swirls and then used a very glittery leaf frond as an accent. 
On the inside, I used a gold swirl dp and a matching sentiment block.
