Peace on Earth

I have one Christmas card to share today, that I am entering in a number of challenges.  My initial inspiration is from the Paper Players #370: White on White.

I used the PTI Winter Floral cover plate--I just love all that detail, and stamped my sentiment in Delicata Silvery Shimmer.

I am also entering this card at Happy Little Stampers CAS November Challenge: Christmas,  Happy Little Stampers November Anything Goes with Dies Challenge,  Happy Little Stampers November Christmas Challenge, and Addicted to Stamps and More #268: Holiday.

Time Out #72...Reminder...Merry and Bright

There is still time to play along with our current challenge at Time Out.  Our challenge this time is a CASE challenge, and we have this amazing card from my bestie Kim of Cupcakes, Cards and Kim to inspire us.

Kim's Inspiration Card

I was inspired the kims brightly colored flowers and those delicate stems, and also by the placement of her sentiment and images.  Swap the flowers for Christmas lights and the stems for a bit of electrical wire and you have my holiday CASE of Kim's card.

Please head over to Time Out to see more inspiration from our Design Team and Guest Designer. Our Guest Designer this week is Deepti, so please stop by her blog to see what she has created for this challenge.

This challenge will run another week.  I hope you will take some Time Out of your busy schedule to play along with us.

The 25 Days of Christmas Tags

.

I am so happy to be posting today, along with the other members of The 12 Kits of Occasions as a guest on Tracey's 12 Days of Christmas Tags.  I am lucky enough to be joining Tracey for the second time this week.  Click here to see my other Guest Designer post.

My tags today were inspired by this tutorial by Betsy Veldman that I saw last week. I used water color paper for my tags, and PTI reinkers for my watercoloring.  All the sentiments are from Tis the Season, and are stamped in Brilliance Lightning Black.  It is hard to tell from this picture, but the Lightning Black is a very shimmery black ink with tones of gold.  Sounds strange, but it is very striking in person.

I used Tropical Teal and Plum Pudding reinkers for these tags.  It was very quick and easy to make this tag set, because I water colored a piece of paper that was about 4" by 11".  When the water colors were dry, I cut out all the tags, flipping the die around for the last 2 tags.  Then, I stamped the sentiments.

I used Harvest Gold and Aqua Mist on these tags.  Sorry about the dark photos.  When I tried to lighten them, the colors looked very strange.
