For my card, I created a Christmas card using a beautiful nature stamp from Repeat Impressions and a some awesome Die-Versions dies.

For the scene, I've used Repeat Impressions By The Stream stamp. It was colored with Distress inks in Salty Ocean, Gathered Twigs and Frayed Burlap and a water brush.  Shaved Ice from Stampendous was used for the snow. The clouds were inked with a handmade cloud template and Pumice Stone Distress Ink. The tree is a Die-Versions Sweet Petite Tiny Tree die. It was covered with Shaved Ice and colorful gems. The beautiful sentiment is a Repeat Impressions May The Beauty stamp. A Die-Versions Peace On Earth Sweet Wordlet die, cut twice for a shadow effect.

We hope that we have inspired you to be creative, and that you'll do a bit of shopping at the Die-Versions and Repeat Impressions' websites!!

My Craft Spot Challenge #157 - Sequins

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! It's time for a new challenge at My Craft Spot!! This week, the challenge is to use sequins...how fun!! I just love using sequins on projects :)

For this card, the patterned paper is from The Paper Studio. The white paper is heavy weight cardstock from TPS, embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The holes were cut with My Craft Spot Tiny Doily Dies, which were also used to frame the holes.

All three sentiments are from MCS's Tiny Tags Christmas stamp set. The holes were filled with MCS Snow Flurries sequins, a touch of glitter and a bit of silver glass beads.

Snowflakes were cut from the MCS Small Alphabet set and covered with Sugar Coating. They were adhered randomly, along with more Snow Flurries sequins. The ribbon is MCS Scarlet Red Crinkle Ribbon.
