C.R.A.F.T. Challenge 694 non-traditional Christmas colors

I used distressed oxide inks for the background. Then I spritzed it with water to get the faded dots of color. I put this paper into a 3-D embossing folder by Sizzix. I mounted it onto bright pink card base. I used this two piece die set from Spellbinder as my main image of focus. I added the die cut leaves and flower punch as my embellishment and also two gemstones for the flower center and the star.  This card fits the criteria for the C.R.A.F.T. challenge this week to make a Christmas card using non-traditional colors. It is so good to be getting some Christmas cards done ahead of time before the rush is on!!

Peace on Earth Christmas challenge #45

I made this card for the Peace on Earth challenge this week. I cut and pieced two stamped image together to come up with this crab. The crab is a Tim Holtz image and the shell is from Stampin' Up. I stenciled this circle surrounded with dots from a negative side of a die from Impression Obsessions. I used blue distressed oxide ink to blend in the circles. I free-handed the Santa hat and the sentiment for this card. I thought this would add a little humor for the Christmas season.
