Whimsical Christmas, GDP106

I love whimsy, and there is a bumper crop of whimsical stamp sets in the new Holiday catalog. I fell in love and bought 3 right off.  This one is Mistletow Friends, it's the second one I've used so far. the sentiment is also whimsical and fun.

I used my blender pen and ink pads to color with, but it would be perfect for the color pencils too. I just used the thick Whisper white, but if you are going to use a lot of water, switch that to either watercolor paper or the shimmery white, it has a coating that takes the water better.

I've been experimenting with taking photos different ways when using the metallics.  I laid this one down with a block under the top, it shows much of the gold foil, but the tiny edge of the layer under my Berry Burst looks pretty dark.  Still working on it.

I colored my image first, then die cut, put my 2 layers on top of the White card base, then decided how big I wanted my Gold layer, I did about 2", then my white strip with the sentiment. I put a dimentional right near the flag cut and just a bit of glue on the edge covering the circle. It should stay nice for sending.

Here is the challege for this week:

It's begining to look like Christmas. FMS304, Merry Christmas

I just can't stop using this stamps set. The demo's in my group have been saying that since their orders started arriving.  But it happens, and so I really don't usually think to much about it when they say that.  But honestly! I really can't stop.  I took this fall set and I'm still using it and for Christmas. It's so much fun trying out color combinations!  It's a 2 step stamp set, for both the flower and the leaves.

First you stamp the background for this, then over top the detailed stamp.  I used Lemon Lime Twist for the bottom and Tranquil Tide for the top, such different colors, but it works!   I've turned my flower into a wreath today. I actually have a totally different card doing the same thing and in different colors I'll be posting, so watch for that one.

Simple, simple, stamped the holly leaves on the card base, cut the white strip, then the Lemon Lime strip just 1/8" wider.  After stamping my wreath, I cut that out, the a slighter larger scallop round then a slighter larger Tranquil Tide round.   Stamped Merry Christmas using Mistletoe Friends.
