The Flower Challenge #75 Christmas

 

Merry Christmas! And welcome to The Flower Challenge. The final challenge of

the year is: Christmas! 

Looking through my stash of Christmas flowers sets, I came upon Concord & 9th's

Christmas Florals Stamp Set.

It's a beauty I haven't used in awhile, and I thought I'd have some fun stamping it on

some red cardstock and coloring with metallic watercolors. 

Lots of bling on this card. Black mica glitter, shimmer cardstock (PTI), and red 

Wink of Stella. 

Finally, even added some diamond Stickles to the black outline. 

Don't know about you, but it's time to shine. Bring on the lights and

shine some love! It's what we're here for, you know. Bright Holiday 

Blessings to you. and yours. Hope you find some time to play along. I'd love

to see how Christmas translates onto your card.

The Card Concept: Parisian Postal

Good Morning, and welcome to the Card Concept's new challenge,

'Parisian Postal'

'Brown paper packages, tied up with strings..."

Reminded me of an old Stampendous wooden stamp I had, called "Postcard Pair".

A charming duo stamped with Tim Holtz' Distress Ink, and colored with copics.

PTI: Mix & Mat Plaid

Poppystamps: Shiny Snowflakes, Pinpoint Mainstreet Tag

I'd call this card layered collaged, Mix Media. Remember, you can combine the styles.

Play along for 2 weeks! 

Happy Holidays, and Happy crafting!

Hi and welcome to 12 Kits of Occasions June '17!

We're celebrating the fabulous Michele Ferguson, from I Card Everyone,

this month. She's put together a manly kit for us, 

called: 'It's a Guy Thing'

Lots of fun images, masculine colors and sassy sayings!

Leading off with a WOW of a sentiment from Avery Elle.

PTI Watercolor Wonders stampset, PPP tag & Cricut EF.

GA'ed the avocado pit to pop it up, then embossed it with 

Ranger's gold Embossing Tinsel.

I was so glad to see these MFT Seaside Seagulls in the kit!

Love them to bits!

Paired with MFT's sun and Lil' Inkers frames.

With 6 grandsons, this card will surely come in handy!

Poppy Stamps Happy Birthday Background die.

All these sentiments were in the kit. Also the shaker and window card stock.

Love this 'Thanks' die, and think it's perfect for guy or gal.

A better look at the 'Hinged Thanks' from Essentials by Ellen.

Among the treasures Michele included in the kit, was 3 dragonflies perfectly 

embossed, and ready to be popped onto a card front. 

With a few tweaks to the image (Nuvo copper glitter & Stickles Mercury Glass)

I did my favorite card!

MFT: Wonky Stitched Rectangles, PPP sequins.

PTI Melon Berry Cardstock & Pattern cardstock.

Michele invited Bobby Hogan, (Bits & Pieces), to be our guest this month,

Be sure and visit her blog and give her some love.

Can't wait to see what the teamies did with this fabulous kit!

Hugs, Michele!

Lots left over to play with later!
