Vancouver is having such a cold wet spring. I'm yearning to work in my garden! But no such luck today. So I've got cards for some challenges instead.
First up for The Paper Players. They want to see a craft image on the card. And for Colorful Options. They have a beautiful mood board in pastels (see at end of post) that I tried to depict on this card.
A simple stamped and watercoloured card using one of the wonderful Anita Jeram images from Colorado Craft Co. I love these cute mice painting the flowers!
Next for the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown "Santa" and for My Time to Craft Christmas "Christmas Quote".
I made a circle mask out of masking paper to create the moon. Then I
brayered on coated cs using two shades of blue and two of yellow,
letting the lighter blue and the lighter yellow meet in the middle.
I stamped the sentiment with StazOn ink as I'd used coated cs. I die
cut the Santa and sleigh with black cs, then bordered the panel with
black.
And last but not least, for Inkspirational "Clean and Simple" and ABC Christmas Challenge "H is for Houses".
I had a scrap of dp that looks like a chilly winter night sky. I die cut the village out of white so that it looks like it's all covered in snow, making it look even chillier. Layered it on another piece of white cs and then on a white mini slimline card base.
