12 Weeks of Christmas - Week 1 Poinsettia Petals and Whimsy & Wonder DSP

Welcome to my 12 weeks of Christmas, this is number 1. Come back each week and check out my Christmas Card projects!

 My card features the poinsettia petals stamp set and die bundle and it coordinates perfectly with the whimsy and wonder designer series paper.

These cards are really pretty!  The poinsettia dies make perfect flowers and are so easy to make.  the dies also emboss the petals all in one go.  

My first card uses a sketch from Fusion Card Challenge.  

I changed the orientation of my card. 

My second card uses the Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge # PCC446.

Great Tidings meets CASEing the Catty Sunday Challenge - CTC337 - Step up a mini catalogue project

Todays project, I have chosen to do a challenge.  Challenges are great to get the creative juices flowing and the CASEing the Catty Sunday Challenge is a great one to choose.  The challenge this week was to step up a project from the July-December 2021 mini catalogue CTC337.  I chose to step up the project on page 66 of the mini catalogue.  

To step up the project, I used the be dazzling specialty papers in the SAB catty.  

I also used a block with a dribble of whisper white reinker on it, with a squeeze of the wink of stella pen, which gives a nice sheen.  Mix it well with the wink of stella brush and then flick this ink on to your bottom layer.  It's a great way of making white splatter and gives a great effect. I also coloured in some of the bushes with this white wash.  The bushes were inked in versamark and clear embossed.
