First Christmas Card for 2012

I saw a video on the Simon Says Stamp blog by Kristina Werner in which she painted with Perfect Pearls and it reminded me of a card I did using a similar technique. Here's the link to that card: Playing with Perfect Pearls.

I decided to paint some white card stock with Perfect Pearls powder mixed with water. Then I stamped and die cut some trees on the pearly card stock. There is quite a nice little shine on those trees IRL.
I think I'll enter this in the current Hero Arts Challenge, it's been a while since I did one.

I used some older patterned paper, Snow Day from Crate Paper, but it made the perfect base for my trees.
There's a variety of stamps on the trees: Music Background by Penny Black, La Letter by Hero Arts and Interlocking Backdrops by Lawn Fawn.

Lily Pad Cards has a new challenge!

Apparently the Hero Hostess Blog Hop used up all of my creativity because my mojo has been on an extended walk-about. I hope it returns soon, refreshed and ready to work; I really miss it!

I did manage to wring out some mojo essence to make a card for the new Lily Pad Cards Challenge: Virginia's View. Yes, that Virginia, my friend from the land to the north.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Penny Black so I grabbed my favorite paisley background stamp and got to work with some white embossing powder and Distress inks.

I guess I was in a light-hearted mood because this is so different from my usual style (do I really have a usual style? she asked). Anyway, this gave me the perfect excuse to use these Jewelry Box Thickers from American Crafts that I've been hoarding for some time now.

Make sure you stop by Lily Pad Cards to see all the lovelies from the DT and to join us in this brand new inspiration challenge. You just may recognize some new faces....you never know.

blessings,
