Reindeer Games - Momenta Brand Ambassador Post!

Happy Thursday!!  I've got another Momenta Brand Ambassador post for you today, and I'm playing along again with the #MerryAndBrightChallenge!  Today's fun theme is #MisbehavingReindeer and I instantly thought of reindeer games and what would they do if they jumped the sleigh for the afternoon?  I pictured them tossing around an ornament like a ball, and that's where the inspiration for this slider card came from!

So ya'all know how much I love my Momenta paper.  The card's background is made from the Watercolor Metallic cardstock, and I cut the reindeer with Abstract Marble.  I used a scrap from the Watercolor pad for the ornament.  The word dies are Momenta too. I like to mix sizes and fonts for my sentiments so I used Hello Fetti word dies for the Hello and Hope/Dream/Believe for the joy.

If you missed out on the first few weeks of the #MerryAndBrightChallenge, here's all the scoop on what's coming up!

Here's the calendar of challenges!

Today's theme is #FavoriteHolidayMovie and of course, mine is Elf!!  I knew I wanted to make tags so I grabbed some stamps from my stash and started watercoloring!

The first thing I did was watercolor my backgrounds.  I like to blend colors, so working with a combination of the Jewels Professional Watercolors and Classics Professional Watercolors sets for my backgrounds.  I blended some of the watercolors with Glitter Inks and Liquid Glitter.  I set them aside to dry for awhile and colored my sentiment background and the Elf legs and hats with the same watercolors.  (And yes I had the movie on while I made these!)  I used a waterbrush and the same watercolors to color in all the bells and let that dry again.  After the backgrounds dried, I took the Metallic Neutrals Pens and colored the ribbons on the bells.  If you use these pens last they're much brighter than if you watercolor over them.  I want to add that if you haven't tried these pens, you must.  You get a fine point and a brush in each shade which is awesome.

Woodsy Winter -- Momenta Brand Ambassador Post!!

Happy Hump Day!!  I've got another Momenta Brand Ambassador post for you today, and I'm playing along again with the #MerryAndBrightChallenge!  Today's fun theme is #WoodlandCreatures and I instantly knew I collage together various die cut reindeer and trees to create a scene.  I also used my brand new Snowflake and Deer embossing folder set on the background!  After embossing a piece of watercolor cardstock twice with the Snowflake folder, I colored it with various shades of blue and grey from the Brea Reese Jewels and Classics Professional Watercolor Sets.

If you missed out on the first few days of the #MerryAndBrightChallenge, here's all the scoop on what's coming up!

Now, back to what I made!  

I used a few different paper pads to create this card. I always think the paper is the star of the show!  The Metallic Ink paper pad was what I used for the main scenic image.  I added in extra trees cut from the Abstract Marble and Watercolor paper pads to make everything pop.

It's already so much fun!!!

Since today's theme is #WinterGreenery I decided I wanted to use a bunch of die cuts to create a festive card.  I used some new items that are only available at Walmart Canada right now, and mixed them in with some Brea Reese and Momenta favorites.  I started with a piece of the new Watercolor Paper and embossed with the woodgrain folder from the Fall Cut and Embossing Folder Set.  I then colored it with Brown watercolor from the Classics Professional Watercolors set.  I die cut a couple of pinecones from the same Momenta die set watercolor paper, and after embossing them, I colored them with a mixture of the same Brown watercolor I used on the background and Brown Watercolor Creams.  I gathered various scraps I had of paper watercolored with Glitter Inks, Watercolor Inks and scraps from various Momenta paper pads, then die cut them with greenery dies.  I layered everything together and added a bow to finish it off.
