Embellies with a Twist at TCC - Christmas in July

I was a week ahead of myself in some ways, but a day behind in this week's post.  The card I made last week for the "Make it wet" theme was a Christmas card and the challenge for this week is "Christmas in July". So here is another Christmas card.  Please join us for the challenge. Remember that now is a great time to start building up your Christmas card supply.  The challenge has returned to the old forum layout which seems a bit easier to work with.  If you participate you can also earn points.  Click here to learn how you can earn points. 

Today's card is a small 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" card.  I thought this small sized card would be good to make for a set of cards which can fit into small pizza box, along with envelopes.



I stamped my image onto white card stock and cut it to size.  I used pen nibs to colour in the leaves and berries with ink. I sponged the edges.  I mounted this onto patterned paper with dimensionals which I had matted onto Wisteria Wonder card.  I used a technique that Dawn T had taught me.  The Wisteria Wonder matted card is actually white card sponged with ink to create the coloured matted background, (I could have used wisteria wonder cardstock, but I wanted to keep the full sized piece of card for something else.)

Supplies:
Stamps: Easy Events from Stampin' Up
Ink: Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder (from Stampin' Up), Fired brick distress ink

Cardstock: White
Patterned Paper: DSP In colours 2011-2013
Other: Glossy Accents, Ranger brush tip pen nibs

Have a great rest of the week.

Ribbon Panel Card

On Wednesday I was able to attend a Stampin Up class at Julia's place.  We made a lovely ribbon panel card.  It was a fun card to make.  It was a little fiddly weaving the ribbon and we had to make sure we kept the same cross over pattern on the front and back, but in the end it was well worth it.  I have kept the middle panel blank to write a message on.  I had fun using the Stampin Up coordinating bird and flower stamps and punches to decorate the card.



Supplies:
Cardstock: Lucky Limeade
Paper: PDS paper from the 2011-2012 colour range (Lucky Limeade)
Ink: Calypso Coral & Lucky Limeade

Stamps: Language of Friendship set
Punches: Bird Builder & Boho Blossoms
Other: Zutter, Calypso coral ribbon, Framelite dies

Thanks for stopping by and for your comments.  Have a great weekend.
