CCT November Colour Challenge

Hello! It's a colour challenge this week at Christmas Card Throwdown. Our lovely hostess Gill has chosen this fab combo -

 

 

I chose SU's Tranquil Tide as my green cardstock and I've stamped the background stars with a stamp from Wood Words. The reindeer is from Santa's Sleigh and the dies I've used are a mixture from the Mini Treat Bag, Stitched Shapes, Layering Circles and Bunch of Banners. I love the reindeer - he always seems to look very purposeful! He is stamped in Chocolate Chip ink, as is the sentiment.

I'm sure that you will enjoy playing with these colours. Lots of wintery woodland scenes definitely spring to mind, I think!
Happy crafting! April x

CCT November Sketch Challenge

Hello! It's time for a sketch challenge over at Christmas Card Throwdown.

 

 You can flip the design as I have done or use a different shaped element, but we should be able to recognise the original sketch in your Christmas card.

 



I made the background using a mixture of Coastal Cabana and Dapper Denim inks mixed with shaving foam on an acrylic block. I then used a stamp from Gorgeous Grunge to create a white embossed snowfall, but it wasn't quite snowy enough so I used a brush to spray white gesso on top.

The trees were die-cut using SU's Sleigh Ride Edgelits and I also added some Glimmer Paper stars to enhance the sky. Lots of fun to make! We are looking forward to seeing your interpretations of Gill's great sketch. Happy crafting, April x
