Focusing on Sentiment!

It was fun making a Christmas card Focusing on the Sentiment

for the STAMPlorations April Challenge.

Here is my Red and White Christmas Card.

I used Strathmore Bristol paper and sprinkled lightly with 

Color Burst Pigment Powder: Alizarin Crimson and spritzed with water.

After drying with my heat tool,  I spritzed with reactivated Lindy's Magicals spray using Peony Scarlet Red.  It has a pretty glimmer.  

Dried again and smooshed some SU Real Red diluted reinker to tone down the pink.

Next I stamped my STAMPlorations Typografia Christmas Stamp: "Christmas in the Heart" 

as my focus sentiment using Stazon Black ink.

Die cut my piece using my CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Die.

Added a few sequins and popped up using fun foam.

I am happy to have another card for my Christmas Stash:-)

Day 1 Twelve Tags of Christmas with Loll and Friends!

I am so excited that Loll is inspiring us all with her 4th Annual Twelve Tags of Christmas with Loll and Friends!

Here is my Day 1 Christmas Tag!

Loll's Annual Tag Event inspires me every year to get my tags done for the trays of Norwegian Krumkakes that I share with friends and special people on my list!  Thank you my friend:-)

Since I used a Brushos background from my stash this tag was quick and easy.  I had used Purple and Ultra Marine Brushos + Indigo Color Burst pigment powders on my craft mat and spritzed liberally with water.  Then smooshed my Strathmore Bristol watercolor paper onto the inks.  Let dry and added to my stash.

I used CUTplorations Luggage Tag Dies (lg size) to cut my tag.  This has become my favorite Tag dies.  I love the shape and the 3 sizes.  Next I splattered diluted acrylic white paint with a flat paint brush.  When dry I used my MISTI  to stamp my new STAMPlorations Typografia Christmas: "Merry Little Christmas" stamp with Archival Jet Black ink.  I have 3 of the Christmas sets and they fit perfectly inside the Large Luggage Tags:-)  So quick and easy:-)  Great for cards too.

Next I sponged the edges of tag with SU Elegant Eggplant ink.  Then sprayed the entire tag with a glittery spray I make using Frost White Tsukineko ink.  So glittery and shiny IRL.  Added my ribbons and done:-)  I loved the results.  One tag done and 11 to go...at least that is my goal!

Be sure and check out Loll and her Guest Designer's Tags that she shares each day of her event..Nov. 6th thru the 17th:-)  I guarantee..you will be Inspired!  They just have to be a Christmas Theme using stamping and at least 2 mixed media products...easy!  Happy Tag creating my friends.  Hugs..
