Christmas Card Challenges #18

"Anything Goes" is the challenge this week at Christmas Card Challenges.  I always enjoy these as I get to do just what I want to do.  :-)  For the past couple of evenings I've been doing some coloring on some watercolor panels I found at Taylored Expressions.  This is one from the Christmas 3 x 4 Watercolor Panels pack.

For all the different colors, I used a variety of Stampin' Write Markers to color the little ornaments on the wreath.  Can you tell I was in the mood for lots of color?  What you can't see is the glitter from the Gelly Roll Glitter Pen (I don't know who makes these.) I used on the blue bow and on the frame line.  Sparkly just never seems to photograph well for me.  Sigh.

Onto the Marina Mist card base, I added a layer from the Everyday Moments patterned paper from Teresa Collins.  I've had it for ages but I love the polka dots.  A few Rhinestone Basic Jewels and it was all done. 

Stampin' Up!® product unless otherwise noted.

Sunday Christmas Card Challenge #18

Hi everyone!  For this week's Christmas Card Challenge, we have a color challenge.  I love blues of any kind and loved the photo with the polar bear and ice and cold and wait... can I tell how glad I am that we are having 80 degree weather here in Iowa?  I've been totally enjoying the sunshine, blue sky and the fresh air.  You know, it really was kind of hard to make a Christmas card with Spring busting out all over! 

My card is a very simple one this week.  I received a very nice birthday present from a dear friend and the Filigree Frame Embossing Folder was one of the items in the package.  I know it's retired but I just loved it since you can use it for more than just Christmas cards.  It retired before I remembered to order it so I was so excited to see it in that package.  And, I love the sentiment from the Delightful Dozen stamp set.  It, too, is retired but one I go to often for a sentiment.

Stamp Set:  Delightful Dozen; Ink:  Pacific Point; Card Stock:  Pacific Point, Pool Party, Sahara Sand; Accessories & Tools:  Filigree Frame Embossing Folder, Chalk Talk Framelits Dies, 1/8" Silver Ribbon, Frosted Sequins, Glue Dots, SNAIL Adhesive, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Stampin' Trimmer
