CRAFT Christmas Challenge - A Colorful Life Designs

 Good morning!  We have a new challenge for you today at

Theme is Anything Goes/Optional Christmas

We are being sponsored by

I used one of the new stencils from the November release at

This one is called Stars on Lines - don't forget to use code JennFan10 for 10% off at the shop:

I created my background by using the Christmas Cheer set at Lindy's Magicals through my stencil with water - I used the stencil traditionally on watercolor paper and then used my Tag Trio tag die from Gina K Designs to cut it out. I then used the same stencil in reverse fashion on a separate piece of watercolor paper and used that for the background, layering the tag on top of it. I printed out one of the girls from the 3 Little Christmas Girls set and colored her with Copics and Fun Flock, then fussy cut her and attached her to the tag with foam tape. I added some little stickers from a sticker book from Funky Fossil.

I trimmed it down and matted it on a white card base, then die cut the fern leaf (Hero Arts) from white cardstock. I added a "thanks!" sentiment that I made with my Dymo Label Maker. Peace.

All Dressed Up New Release: Star Lantern

  New release at

This one is called Star Lantern:

I used papers from Craft Consortium - I don't make a ton of Christmas cards, so I have not let myself buy any new Christmas papers in YEARS. I'm hoping to use up most of what's left this year so I can get some new stuff! I printed out my image and colored with Copics and added some sparkly Fluffy Stuff on his pom-pom. Added a little ephemera sentiment from Unity Stamp Co. and sponged the edges with some pink ink. Finished it off with an old button from Stampin' Up!
