FOSTV CHALLENGE#52

It's CHRISTMAS EVE!!! I am so excited this year to have a little one around again to join in the festivities. Makes everything so much more interesting.

This also means that it's MONDAY & time for another great challenge over at FOSTV. This week we are challenging you to use the CRACKED GLASS technique. I love this effect & really don't know why I don't use it more often.


 
 
Please excuse the little white dots. It's reflection from the embossing powder & I couldn't get a clear picture without them showing up. I need to see if the local community college offers a photography class!!

What I've used:
CHRISTMAS CARDINALS stamp set
Memento Tuxedo Black ink & COPICS
Paper from my stash & pop dots

I know that this will be a busy week for everyone, but I really hope that you find the time to play along.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

SPEEDY FOX & FRIENDS CHALLENGE #137

Rain, rain, rain!! I want some SNOW!!!! Which is in the forecast in the upcoming days, but not soon enough for me. I think that there is nothing prettier than the ground blanketed in white & the flakes twinkling under the street lamps. I am definately dreaming of a white Christmas.

But that aside, over at MFPaHC, we are thinking  RED and GREEN.

I chose to do a shaker card.


 
 
What I've used:
PEACE ON EARTH mini stamp set for the trees
WINTER SCENES stamp set for the sentiment
Flower Soft Dazzle for the snow
Prima Poinsettia
Memento inks

Thanks for stopping by & HAPPY STAMPING!!
