Beautiful Blossoms Challenge #12

Hello and Happy Friday my dear crafty friends!  Today begins a new challenge month at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge.  The optional mood board is so Wintery and Festive and I've used the mood board for my inspiration.


I've had these dies in my stash for several seasons and both sets; the Poinsettia and Cardinal were gifted to me from a special swap buddy in the U.K. (thanks Michelle!).


I've used 3 shades of red, one being glitter card, to piece together the poinsettia and cardinal.  The music sheet paper is from open stock at Hobby Lobby, the sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp pack of pre-printed sentiment strips.


To finish off the design, I've added gold mirror card for the flower centers and splattered with gold Posca Paint Pen.  The front poinsettia and sentiment strip have been popped on craft foam for dimension.

Please stop by The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge and play along, our prize this month is the Floral Trimmings Stamp Set by Studio Katia.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Creative Knockouts - Winter Cardinal

Hello and thanks for stopping by.  It's time for another challenge at The Creative Knockouts Challenge Blog and our sponsor for this challenge is Sweet and Sassy Stamps.  The Theme for this challenge is Thankful Thoughts.

I had the pleasure of using the Cardinal Digital Stamp for my design team project and this digi is simply wonderful.  This design would work great for holiday cards as well as a Winter Birthday, a Thank You card or a Condolence message.


I chose to create a thankful holiday card with a simple greeting.  This card measures 5" x 5" and is a tent fold style.  I colored this Cardinal with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, matted the focal image on red card and popped up with foam squares.  Lastly, I added a ribbon and called it complete.

My design team sisters and I invite you to join us at Creative Knockouts, we would love to see how you've been inspired by our projects.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
