Let Your Light Shine

 Hi everyone!! Just a quick pop in tonight with a card I created today for two challenges. I wanted to make sure I got in under the wire!!!

I used this weeks CASE this Sketch #392 and The Color Challenge #613 as inspiration for my card.

I used five shades of Distress Ink on this card-Milled Lavender, Seedless Preserves, Fired Brick, Carved Pumpkin and Dried Marigold on the background. I know, I know, it doesn't look like it BUT I would not have been able to get the depth of color otherwise. I then covered the blended background with Hero Arts White Iridescent Shimmer Spray.

I used the Penny Black Delicate Silhouettes stamp set with black Versafine ink to stamp the botanicals and the sentiment is from Taylored Expressions Simple Strips Friendship. 

I used the Pinkfresh Studio Slimline Lacy Edgers to die cut the purple border from a piece of scrap paper.

I LOVE how this card came out and have another piece of shaded cardstock that I plan to use to make an identical card.

That is it for me tonight. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS night!

Penny Black "Cold Nose Warn Heart" tag-Day 2 of Twelve Days of Christmas Christmas Fun

Today I am going to share another tag that I created. This time I used the Penny Black Stamp set "Cold Nose Warm Heart." They have a series of adorable little penguins in holiday poses.

I first stamped my penguin and colored it in using Copic markers. Next I die cut the image with My Favorite Thing's "Pierced Circle Stax." These are my new go to circle dies! I then layered the circle over a PTI die cut snowflake and tag. 

My last step was to put tiny dots of Stickles glitter glue on the stamped snowflakes and embossing paste on the hat to make it look like fur. On the back of the tag, I put a "to" and "love" sentiment. I wasn't sure how much I would like this when I was putting it together but it is one of my favorites that I have made this weekend.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will return tomorrow for an ornament idea. Have a great day!

Nora
