Tuesday Challenge - Christmas in July

Posted in Recent projects, Shimmerz Paint at 6:07 pm

So this week’s Jacksonbelle Embellishment’s challenge was a free for all - we could choose anything we wanted. Well I’ve been playing with some of my new loot from JBE’s store - Lindsey has Autumn, Halloween, and Christmas/Winter stuff arriving already!!! With CHA Summer releasing so many new items in preparation for Autumn and Winter it super pleasing to have them ready for purchase in Lindsey’s store……. and she has more on the way. Now I have to admit I don’t have any new Christmas/Winter designer papers yet so had to find my scrap stash from last year……score with the Basic Grey…..

Card Details: Cardstock: Solar White (Neenah), Blue Bayou & Black (SU); Pattern Paper from Basic Grey; Rubber Stamps: Inkadinkado; Ink: Graphite Black (Brilliance); Accessories: Felt Embellishment (Queen & Co), watercolor paper and brush, various ink refills, Dew Drops baubles, Shimmerz Paint in Angel White

This next one was MY FAVORITE!!!!!!

My Favorite cause it uses again, this super cute Ornate Snowman from Inkadinkado and what about that Snowflake Trail also from Inka. Snowman stamped on watercolor paper with Graphite Black (Brilliance) and then colored using watercolor brush and various reinkers - using purple…….. then to finish off the frosty feel how about some “Angel Wings” Shimmerz Paints…… I finally got a good photo that really shows the bling of these Shimmerz. The sentiment which has a dry emboss appearance is using one of the new Cuttlebug folders that are strips - - - these strips can be placed just about anywhere on your project - how cool is that!!!!???? A couple of American Craft felt snowflakes finishes off the card. Hope you enjoy - be sure to check out the other team members projects for the week…….

Lynda, Kisa, Beth, Maren, Dee, Erin, Broni, Elizebeth, Amber and Lindsey

Enjoy and Create, Lila
