WWC234 - Dawn's "All About Occasions" Challenge

Hello, it's Wednesday again so that means it's time for a new challenger over at Watercooler Wednesday.  The lovely Dawn is our host this week with an "All About Occasions" challenge.

I have made a Christmas card this time using a new to me stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs called "Reindeer and a Tree". This set is full of cute little Reindeer, a Santa and a Christmas Tree.

I stamped out all six of the reindeer and the Santa and coloured them in with alcohol markers.  I cut them out using my Scan n Cut and adhered the Santa and two of the reindeer to a card panel that I embossed to look like snow. Now that I look at my finished card, I think I should have positioned that last reindeer differently!  He looks like he is doing something he shouldn't be if you know what I mean!!  Do you think! ha ha

Come join in the fun at Watercooler Wednesday.  All you have to do is make a card for any occasion and link it up to our challenge post.  Check out the projects that the other artists at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges have created for some inspiration. We’d love to have you join us.  You have until Tuesday, 20th August at 09.00am Melbourne Time or Monday 19th August  5pm US Mountain Time to link up your project.

CAS Christmas Card Challenge Guest Designer

Hello, I am happy to be Guest Designing for the CAS Christmas Card Challenge for the month of August!
This months challenge is "Glitter" and I can't think of a better time than Christmas to use up some of my glitter!

I've used the Christmas Sparkle stamp set from Uniko for my card.  I inked it up with my Kaliedacolor Ink Pad in Blue Breeze using my MISTI.  Then I went over it again with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with some diamond glitter embossing powder.  I stamped the sentiment and bow from the same set in black ink then added some glitter using a glue pen around the edge of the cardstock.

Thanks for visiting and if you would like to join in on the fun over at CAS Christmas click HERE to take you over to the challenge blog.  There is lots of inspiration from the DT to get your creative juices flowing.

Now on to my card!
I stamped the sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays "Frankly" stamp set with CP Midnight ink.  Next I stamped the flowers from Altenew
 " Weekend Doodles" and coloured them in with alcohol markers.  A few days later I decided it needed a little bit more colour so I added some Prisma pencils over the top to brighten it up a bit. I also added some dots to the flowers with a white gel pen.
