I hope everyone is ready for Christmas. I can't believe it is only 17 days away. I am ready except for a little bit of baking. I seem to cut back every year. Especially since sugar no longer agrees with me.
This week Pammies Inky Pinkies Challenge #2549 is being sponsored by one of my favorite stamp companies which is Newtons Nook Designs.
It is always hard for me to decide which stamp set to use because I love them all. I went to Inky Paws Challenge looking for inspiration. Their challenge this month is Holiday, Sparkle and Shine with this picture for added inspiration.This is my card that I made with this picture in mind.
I started this card with and 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" piece of white cardstock. I then blended 3 colors of distress oxide (Salvaged patina, Worn Lipstick and Wilted Violet). I then used a snowflake embossing powder on the paper and sprinkled it with holographic embossing powder to give it some sparkle. I then used the Oval Frames Die set to cut out the pink oval and the scalloped glitter paper oval. I then colored the Holiday Haul stamped image with my copic markers using the colors in the picture. I used the matching die to cut the image out. I used some Crystal Stickles on the packages and the tree. I stamped the sentiment on white card stock and used one of the smaller rectangles on the A2 Card Layout Die to cut it out. I cut out a slightly larger pink rectangle to go around the sentiment.
I really enjoyed making this card and always love the Inky Paws Challenges every month.
