It's a Banner Holiday!!!

It's been a banner challenge for almost 2 weeks and with one hour to spare I managed a card for the Jingle Belles Challenge. So due the time constraints and my left hand not touching the keyboard properly causing so many typos and  I have no time for that nonsense. 

The poinsettias were made with a Boss Cut die set, one is flat attached the other 2 are popped up. The ef I used is from Sizzix and is a larger 4 1/4 X 6 so I just embossed part of it and covered the end with the flowers. 

Closer look, the tiny beads are on a sheet I cut a a strip of 4 and coloured them with an alcohol marker,

with 45 minutes to spare

Inspired by the Jingle Belles Rock Blog Banner......

 Well it's not the last day for the challenge but pretty close but since we have had 6 inches or more of snow overnight and it's still coming down I had some time to make a card for the challenge. I must tell you I went a long way out of my comfort zone on this, using techniques I haven't done in years if I ever did them except in practice. The banner was saying make a Slimline card so I did. 

First I blended eggshell blue oxide in all over the white panel, then added some dots to the left side  twith the same ink, toward the right I added a Christmas word stamp. then the Pinte tree which I stamped off once. The forest behind inked in Mowed lawn was stamped off two or three times. I just love how this turned out. 

Close up of the words and trees, Both stamps I used are many years old and haven't seen ink in a long while. (they are happy)

The inside was finished with a a stamp I won at the Jingle Belles, I thought it very appropriate to use. I added a few snowflakes.
