Happy Tuesday!
It's time for a new Shining the Light Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs!
This week's challenge:
Stamp your own background on a card or project.
Here's my take on the challenge this week...
Since I don't have any background stamps, I created my own using 3 different stamp sets! Silly me decided I would color the images on white! This is only 1/2 of what I actually stamped and colored, lol! What was I thinking? After I was done, I then embossed it with a snowflake folder.
Card Recipe:
Stamps: Dreams, Holiday Ornaments, Luke 2:11 (Our Daily Bread Designs)
Paper: Solar White (Neenah), Red Devil, Capers (Bazzills)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine), VersaMark
Accessories: Fleur de Lis Squares (Spellbinders), Snowflakes #8 Embossing Folder (Sizzix), ribbon, snowflake button (Michaels), distressing tool, adhesive pearls (Want2Scrap), mineral spirits, heat tool, Old Fashioned Olive Embossing Powder (SU), Prismacolor Pencils: Cool Greys 10%, 70%, Bronze, Kelp Green, Crimson Red, Tuscan Red

Your background might have been a lot of work, but it paid off, it's gorgeous! I love the embossing over it. The beautiful bow and the sentiment look so beautiful mounted on it.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Kathy! I know what you mean about coloring and tossing! It takes a great deal of time to get just the right image! But I must say you did hit this one out of the park... from the colorful background to your choice to emboss... EVERYTHING works together to create a festive card that celebrates our Savior's birth! Wonderfully done... hugs and blessings...
ReplyDeleteWowzer Kathy!! Sheer elegance!! I just love your white embossed background with the stamped and colored images in the background. Your layout and design are stunning.

You've made a gorgeous background here. Too bad the extra was probably useless pieces that you cut off and couldn't be made into a second card. Live and learn, right? It turned out so beautifully! I have lost my "mojo" and hope to get it back soon. Thanks for inspiring me and for sharing this amazing creation with is at Word Art Wednesday. You always have something to bless me!!
