Christmas Card 2009

Well, I have started doing a few cards for the holiday season and I thought I would put one up this morning before I left for work. Working ten hour days just leaves me drained at the end of the day and since I have a few minutes now before I leave for work I thought I would share one of the cards I did using paper from Graphic 45.

This picture came from one of the Frames on the Christmas Past Frame sheet. I know it's hard to tell, but I used Rock Candy Crackle Paint over the whole picture - it gives it a kind of shinny and crackle vintage look that I really like. I placed that on a green cardstock that has a bit of a stripe in it. I added the lace and then on top of that I used Glitz Stickles in Champagne. I
added the red and gold ribbon to the top and bottom and to finish off I put on the greeting. I am really happy with the way this card turned out.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope I have passed on a bit of inspiration to you this morning. Have a great day!!

Advent ATC's Day Three

This is the Day Three ATC that I made and

here is the Day Three that I received from Andrea

One Hour Of Power Challenge - Wishes


This week at OPH I have set the theme as "Wishes" and I have made an ATC called "Wish". To me the image looks like she is wishing for something as she overlooks the sea. The W is made from GrungeBoard painted with a Paint Dabber in Pink Sherbet and sprinkled with glitter. The image is from Altered Pages and I matted it with a green cardstock, my base is navy cardstock. I added the buttons to accent the colors I used and the word is done with my Dymo labeler.
