Krafty Chicks Challenge #702: Christmas

Oh yeah, it's Thursday! Time for another great challenge from the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. Let's put the spotlight on Christmas this week!

Welcome to week 2 of our challenges! This time it's to use a Christmas theme, or any holiday/winter project. Not sure what it is but I really like how this card turned out. I did a mirror image technique for the candy cane on the left. Took me three tries to get it right and even then I had to touch it up a bit.

Using my Water Painter, I create more shadows on the banner. Maybe this is what I like most on the card, it seems to "ground" it, tie it all together.

Products I used:

  • Banners For Christmas stamp set
  • Thick Basic White card stock (159229)
  • Basic White card stock (159276)
  • Garden Green ink pad (147089)
  • Sweet Sorbet ink pad (159216)
  • Early Espresso ink pad (147114)
  • Real Red Stampin' Blends (154899)
  • Shaded Spruce Stampin' Blends (154903)
  • Water Painter (151298)
  • Paper Snip Scissors (103579)
  • Loose Holly Gems
  • Stampin' Dimensionals (104430)

To keep the inside of the card and the envelope clean and simple, I stamped a couple of sprigs of holly and few candy canes on the envelope flap. Quick and easy and done.

Head on over to the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog for more details about the challenge and for more inspiration for Christmas week from the Design Team. There's even a place to upload your project at the end. I hope you play along with us and show us what's happening in your craft space.
