Merry CHristmas

Hi there everyone, here is todays card, to be enterd into the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge (#182), http://merrymondaychristmaschallenge.blogspot.com.au
I used a plain white cardstock for the base card and stamped the Crazy Bird with Black Stazon ink pad, and coloured him with Distress Ink Pad, Scattered Straw, Barn Door, and Vintage Photo, when that was dry I rubbed Distress Micro Glaze all over him so that I could use the stencils, Tiddlybitz, Chicken Wire (with Vintage Photo) and Tim Holtz' Hollybough, with Evergreen Bough, and used a red gel pen to colour the holly.   I used Ranger Crackle Accents for his eyes, then I cut out a party hat from a piece of Scrapbook paper and shaded the edges with vintage photo, I used an old Kaisercraft stamp set "Tis the Season" to stamp the sentiment, also with black stazon, Hope you all like this crazy bird, and thanks so much for visiting today, Jasann

Pink Reindeer

Hi Everyone, here is a card I am entering into the Merry Monday Challenge #180 (use a reindeer), http://merrymondaychristmaschallenge.blogspot.com.au I used white card stock and used a technique I found on Kylie is addicted to stamps (and now butterflies) http://addictedtostamps-kylie-blogspot..cm.au she has a video on her newsletter of the 28/10/15 demonstrating this technique, which I love and have used it quite a few time,  the snowflakes were a bit strange when they were wet, but air dried beautifully, and I used the stamp that came with the embossing folder to stamp the sentiment across the bottom of the card, I used Dylusions Ink Spray "Bubblegum Pink" for the snowflakes and distress ink pad "Barn Door" for the sentiment, I shaded the edges with Distress Ink Pad "Spun Sugar" and cut the deer from Pink Glitter Card with Tim Holtz Bigz die "Reindeer Flight" Hope you like this card and thanks so much for visiting today, Jasann
