Dashing through the snow….. Hum! oops wrong song Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock. I just love that song can’t you hear those cute little penguins singing and rocking out.
This weeks challenge over at Merry Monday Colleen’s challenge is for us to add a penguin to our card.
For my design this week I created a winter scene with the Lawn Fawn Here We Go A Waddling stamp set. I die cut the LF Stitched Portrait Hillside Backdrop on Neenah cardstock. The extra piece from the die cut I blended Faded Jeans and Blueprint Sketch to give me a night sky. I stamped the LF Snowy Backdrop onto the panel with SSS Clear Ink and heat embossed with Hero Arts White Puff (EP). I stamped several of the penguins onto X-Press It Blending paper and Copic colored.
To finish off my card I adhered the Hillside panel onto a A2 Top Fold Card Base.

Hello! Welcome back to another Merry Monday challenge this week Sue’s theme is for us to add a decorated tag to your card using texture, bling and die cuts. I’ll say this one was a bit of a challenge for me. I think my creative flow went out the door and was struggling to come back.
For my design this week I went deep into the crafty stash and pulled out an old MMH Card kit. I stamped the poinsetta and leaves images onto Neenah Solar white card and die cut them out with the dies included in the kit. The tag was die cut with a stitched tag die. To finish off my card I added Nuvo Crystal drops in mustard to the center of the flowers and Ranger Glitter Glue for texture onto the leaves. A few crystal elements in Ruby was placed randomly onto the tag. The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed with Ranger Lime Green EP. I then adhered the panel onto an Neenah Solar White card base.

Hello! Welcome back to another Merry Monday this week Nina’s theme is for us to create a card based on our favorite holiday movie. I love when October rolls around the Hallmark channel kicks off their holiday movies old and new it ‘s my favorite time of the year.
My design this week was inspired by one of my favorite movies below. For this weeks card I wanted a faux watercolor look. I used several distress markers on different sections of the Penny Black Bell & Berries Brushstroke stamp. To highlight my image I masked off a section and lightly blended wild honey around to give it some dimension. The sentiment was stamped with Gathered Twigs ink
As a final touch, I added accents to the berries with a Sakura White Gelly Roll Pen, ink splatters with gathered twigs and a few gems from Hero Arts before mounting the panel on a Real Red card base.
