Hello! Posting has been sporadic, again, lol! Have been making things and will be sharing some of them on Friday so stay tuned! I did want to try to play along with JUGs before they take a break until January. The challenge there is anything goes with stenciling. I'm also playing along with the Paper Players which is a tic tac toe board. I went with stenciling, Christmas and patterned paper. Finally I will be adding this to the SSS Wednesday challenge. In case you didn't know it is now DieCember over at Simon Says Stamp and so the Wednesday challenge is to use dies. Whew that was a lot, lol! Let's take a look at what I made.
Going through my stuff (I have too much!) and I found the Waffle Flower Postage Collage Christmas stencil set. I honestly did not know that I had even purchased it. Is that bad? Well, now I know I have it and so I put it to use making today's card. Since I was pressed for time I used the suggested distress ink color combo on the Waffle Flower website. Blue wasn't included in the color combo, but I added it in for the sky behind the house and the reindeer. Once I was done stenciling I also added some light gold embossing paste to the image with the trees. I die cut the entire panel with the Postage Collage die and then layered it on some dark green plaid patterned paper. To bring in a little bit more patterend paper I die cut some red with tiny dots using the smallest poinsettia die from an older Waffle Flower die set. I created my poinsettia and added a drop of Nuvo drops in Limoncello. Once that was dry I added everything to a card base along with a Memory Box sentiment tab and I was done.
Well, that's it for me! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.
This is s cute set, so happy you found it in your stash LOL! A merry and bright holiday card, Rosemary. Thanks for sharing it with us at Just Us Girls this week!
ReplyDeletePerfect! Love that you found your stencil and used it for the challenge, plus the added Poinsettia is a wonderful addition.
ReplyDeleteRosemary, I think we means we own toooooo much stuff when we don't even remember we bought it. Guilty! I love this beautiful Christmas postage card. The addition of the poinsettia is extra special! SO happy you joined my challenge at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I just pulled this stencil out myself---I have too much stuff too! I love these little scenes--so cute in the colors you chose! Thanks for playing with our challenge this week at the Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteThis die and stencil combo never disappoints! The soft colouring and Christmas images are gorgeous. Funny how we can forget our craft purchases - I recently discovered a set of Festive word dies I'd totally forgotten I'd bought! Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players.
