Joy & Love

The current Stay Crafty with Hero Challenge is to make a card inspired by a HA team member.  Most of you won't be surprised that I chose a Christmas card.  I love Seeka's gorgeous card with non-traditional colors & splatters--see card at end of post.  For my version I colored the Greenery Medallion Fancy die with a gray Copic & used my 2 new Stickles, True Blue & Gunsmoke, on the berries.  

The PB joy die cut was stacked a couple high & covered in the True Blue Stickles.  The little sentiment from W&W was stamped in Delicata Silvery Shimmer & attached with foam tape.  

I darkened the corners & edges of a gray panel with Distress Ink pumice stone & splattered with white gouache.  Gotta say, the color combo, sparkle & simplicity of this card makes me smile.  Hate to save this one for next year--haha!  I'm also entering ABNH, CAS Mix Up & SSS Wednesday via IG.

Here's my card for the ITP PTI With Love Challenge.  I chose one of the papers in the PTI Garden Gild kit & trimmed it with an old SSS die to fit in the corner of a Spring Rain panel.  

The sentiment from the kit was stamped in Delicata Silvery Shimmer.  I added some individual vellum die cuts that coordinate with the paper & used blue gems for embellishment.  Now maybe I'll use the other beautiful papers in the kit!  Thinking this could be an anniversary or birthday card.
