Hero Arts Color Layering Cardinal Christmas Card

Good morning.  I'm managing to keep on track with this project a day posting.

Today's card doesn't have a lot going on, went for clean and simple.

I have used the 'Color Layering Cardinal' stamp set from Hero Arts stamped in various shades of red & grey.

The sentiment is from the MFT 'Joyous Christmas Sentiments' stamp set

A few sequins and gems to finish it off

Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog, I'll be back tomorrow with post number nine x

Crafty Calendar Anything but a Christmas Card Challenge with Oddball Art

Good morning.  Day seven of my Christmas countdown but today's project is not a Christmas card.

It's the first Saturday in December so we have a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar and the theme this month is:

'ANYTHING BUT A CHRISTMAS CARD'

So for my project I have made a birthday card which is winging it's way to my niece for her seventh birthday.

For my card I have used

Twinkles Image #358  from Oddball Art.   I masked off the white areas and then blended Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks.  I removed the masks and applied clear Wink of Stella to the white areas and then fussy cut the image

The DP's are from the Dovecraft 'Over the Rainbow' paper pack.

I layered some die-cut stars in co-ordernating colours. and die-cut a white stitched circle frame (MFT) and the word Birthday (MFT),

I stamped and heat embossed happy and the magical day sentiment which is from 'Unicorns Rock' stamp set by Your Next Stamp,
