Flowery, Glittery Sleigh

Soon, it's going to be an amazing Merry Christmas....but today, it's Designer Challenge Day at Elizabeth Craft Designs!  That means there's a ton of fun and crafty inspiration on the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog.  This month, we are challenged to create a card using flowers in our Christmas creations.  And there's a prize.  All you have to do is answer a question on their blog!   Be sure to check it out at their blog for your chance to win!


Here's my Christmas creation with flowers:



How fun!  The sleigh is Santa's Sleigh die, and I cut twice, one for the sled part which I glittered up with True Red Silk Microfine Glitter, and the other for the runners with Tim Holtz metallic paper.  The "snow" is cut with the Adventure Edges, and I used a glitter line sticker to embellish the sleigh.  I also put together a few Feverfew flowers to embellish the sleigh.  The sky is made with Distress Oxide Inks in Faded Jeans, Salty Ocean and Broken China.  The sentiment is from the Classic Christmas Clear stamps, and I added a few Nuvo drops in Ivory Seashell.  The presents were colored with Copics, and the bows are also part of the Tim Holtz metallic paper.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Craftily yours,

Karen

Winter Blessings

What did the fox say?  He said Winter Blessings!  Here's proof:



To make this card, I used products from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  The fox image is part of the Winter Animals Clear Stamps and is cut with the coordinating Die.  The paper is part of the Unconventional Christmas 12x12 Collection.  The "hole" in the pink paper is cut with the Garden Notes, Stitched Circle.  The sentiment is from the Classic Christmas Clear Stamps and is cut with a Dashing Circles Die.  I added a couple colors of baker's twine for accent.  The fox is colored with Copics:  E41, E43, E07, E09, R81, R83, BG53, BG57, YG61, YG63, and E27.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Copic colors used were:  G82, G85, R35, R37, Y23, Y26, E41, G12, G14, and I accented the green ribbon with gold dots from my Kiriwina Wink pen.  Easy, cute and fun.
