HMFMC #430 Anything Goes + Option Christmas

I'm joining the current House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge with their Christmas option.  The mousey image was colored with Prismacolor pencils and Copic Markers.

Designer paper layers are from a Hobby Lobby Winterland Cabin paper pad.  All layers were mounted onto red glitter card stock.  The final card size is 5.50 inches square.  A few gems complete the card.

I would like to share my card with the following:

Creative Worship Stamps - Christmas Challenge card

 

I'm sharing a mixed media Christmas card featuring the Forest Silhouettes Die set from Creative Worship Stamps (formerly Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps).

The card base is a Gelli Print which was created using acrylic paints and a Memory Box snowflake stencil.  The Psalm 23 Background stamp from Creative Worship Stamps was stamped in Majestic Blue Versafine ink then light white paint splatters were applied.

I went "old school" creating the snowy base by tearing then inking the edges of white card stock.  The dies were adhered and finished with silver cord and a sentiment from Colorado Craft Company.

Art Impressions Challenge #393 Teeny Tiny

 

It's been a few weeks since I have joined the Art Impressions Challenge.  The current theme in "Teeny Tiny".  My photo is somewhat deceiving since this tag is actually 3 inche x 1 inches.

I stamped, colored and die cut images from the AI Dog House Cubbies set (5101).  Only a portion of the dog house stamp was used by inking only one house and fussy cutting.  The dogs were stamped onto watercolor paper then colored with Tombow Markers.

The tiny tag was in my stash.  It was made using scrap papers, adhering to card stock with Mod Podge then die cutting with various sizes of tags.  Each tag is unique and it worked great for my Tiny Project!

House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge - #429 Use a Die

 

I'm sharing a fun birthday card with the current House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge.  My card features an older wood mount image from House-Mouse Designs (Stampabilities) called Make A Wish.  

I started by stamping and coloring the sweet image with Prismacolor pencils.  A stenciled background was created with the MFT Sunray stencil. I finished the card by using the  Giant Happy Birthday die from Lawn Fawn with hot pink glitter paper from my stash.
