THE GREATEST GIFT

This sketch is from
Technostamper.blogspot.com
To make the crib I paper tore the legs
and crib.
Then painted in some straw.
And painted a star above the crib.
The paper is a paper pack by DCWV.
So it had all the tags and borders with the paper pack.
Great for making some Christmas cards.

GIVE THANKS

This project is for the Belli Challenge at
Chrissyd723.blogspot.com
It was to make a Thanksgiving or Christmas decoration.
I used a candle and painted the pumpkin and leaves on it.
I used acrylic paints.
colors; orange, white, and forest moss
Outlined the leaves with white using a liner brush.
I've not painted on candles before so it was interesting to see
how the paints would work.
They don't rub off, but you can scratch them off, so I'll have to use different paints next time.

Lizard

I used the lunchtime sketch from
technostamper.blogspot.com
Painted the two panels with green ferns.
Sanded the edges of the panels.
Stamped the lizard using paint.
And painted more ferns and leaves around the lizard stamped image.

Info on pumpkin card

I started with a 11x41/4 card
then scored it at 2inches and at 71/4inches.
To secure the left flap I punched the holes and inserted the floss and tied it.
The right flap is tucked under the left flap.
The left flap edge I cut with scallop scissors and punched the hole at each scallop.
The card edges are distressed with an orange ink pad.

BELLI CHALLENGE- THANKSGIVING THEME

This is a two fold card.
The pumpkins are painted on both sides.
I scalloped the one edge and used a paper punch at each scallop.
Floss is strung through the flap.
The Belli challenge for this week is to do a project with a Thanksgiving theme.

Spain inspired card

The grapes, the roses, the geranium blossoms, all bring back memories of my Spain journey.
I used berry wine and white for the grapes and geranium blossoms.
The rose is painted using yellow, white and berry wine colors.
Some grapes and blossoms I cut out and used pop dots to adhere to the card.
The images are mounted on a brown DP .
And adhered to a cream card.
