Christmas Craft Creations October Challenge | Christmas Music

 This one had me digging deep into my stash.  I did not have anything specific that was Christmas Music so I had to improvise.  So I hope this encourages you to look into your stash and think outside the box!

Some of the exact products I used are no longer available, but I was able to find similar.  Using kraft cardstock I pressed embossing ink through the music stencil and embossed with gold embossing powder.  I die cut the music panel with antique frame die set and inked the edge with vintage photo distress ink.  

I gold heat embossed the Deck the Halls on red metallic cardstock and backed it with a kraft layer.  I used nested circle dies for this.  All the metallic cardstock is by Tim Holtz.  

The holly die cut is also by Tim Holtz.  I used a stylus to make the veins in the leaves and put glossy accents on the berries.  To put it all together I popped the music panel up on foam tape and glued and/or foam tapped the other pieces.  So putting it all together I thought it had the feeling of the Christmas song Deck The Halls (with boughs of holly...).

Halloween 2020 | Whimsy Stamps Kitty 'n Pumpkin | Copic Coloring

 Whimsy Stamps always has the most adorable images!  This Kitty 'n Pumpkin stamp set was so easy to color.  The kitty is so cute I just couldn't make him a scary black cat so I did a gray cat.  Then I went totally crazy with the pattern paper!  The colors in the pattern paper are a bit muted so I though it still allowed the main image to stand out.  The pattern paper came in a Halloween kit from last year, but there are tons of fabulous collections out this year too.

 Late has been my middle name lately!  I have had these cards done for about 3 weeks, but things happen.  Anyway, even though it's October I still wanted to share these for those of you that purchased the September kit.

I actually had Speckled Egg on my brush from a previous project, but I was blending with Tumbled Glass.  Both of these were Distress Oxide.
