Guest Designing for 52 CCT

-
Hello everyone! I wish I could say I have enough determination to make Christmas cards year round, because it would save me a lot of stress. But I just don't. I love Christmas, at Christmas. But I get really annoyed when the stores decorate at the beginning of October. I mean, seriously...?
But - I was chosen winner at Christmas card throwdown blog this Christmas and asked to guest design. I'm honored and delighted to do so. And honestly, the My favorite things Happy pawlidays doggies are the cutest, and so I enjoyed this so much I made 2 cards.

For the background I ink blended Candied apple Distress ink through a Three Scoops Christmas stencil. Love this stencil.
The sentiment from MFT Handwritten holiday is heat embossed with WOW! Red glitz embossing glitter.
Since the theme is Christmas lights I highlighted them with glossy accents.
Copics used:
E77, E74, E71, E70
R39, R29, R24
100, C7, C5 (nose)
C3, C1 (hat/lights)
I cut the panel slightly smaller than the cardbase and heat embossed the edge of the base with WOW! Red glitz embossing glitter.
Here I first inkblended Tumbled glass and Salty ocean Distress inks through MFT Circle extraordinaire stencil. Then I placed the Newton's Nook Evergreens stencil on top of the circle stencil and applied Liquid Applique. Once dry you can heat set it for a bubbly snowy look.
As always, I wasn't patient enough to let it completely dry, so I ended up with some of the slighty burned. Oh, well.... And although it's really hard to see I added a soft halo around the light to make it look like they're lit. These also have a drop of glossy accents on them.
I used the same colors for the dog. For the light I used:
RV06, RV02, RV00
B05, B02, B00
Y08, Y02, Y00
The sentiment is from the Happy pawlidays set and the doggie is popped up quite a bit to clear those puffy trees.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Don't be shy to leave a little love below.

    First of all, your cards are just too cute, I love that little puppy with the lights. I was wondering, where did you get that background stencil? I tried to look it up, but couldn't find anything with that name. Thanks for sharing...:-)

      Thank you so much, Jill! It's from a Danish shop. Not sure if they ship internationally. I'll drop a link. Altenew has one similar called Diamond snowflakes.

      Thank you so much for your response, Tina, I went and checked it out, but didn't see if they shipped to the US. I looked at the Altenew one, and I like it as well. Thank you so much for the info.

Copic vedligeholdelse - hvordan & hvorfor

Billede
  Hej! Jeg laver ellers ikke blog på dansk, men men tænkte at der måske var nogle som kunne gøre brug af det.  Jeg har længe villet lave en blog post om Copic vedligeholdelse - også kendt som Copic spa day - og nu har jeg endelig fundet tid til det.  Det er en lang post, så hent en kop kaffe og sæt dig til rette.  For god ordens skyld gør jeg opmærksom på, at jeg viser min egen foretrukne metode og at alle holdninger er mine egne. Teksten må ikke kopieres eller gengives uden accept.  Først og fremmest - HVORFOR bør man bruge tid på at rengøre sine tuscher?  Du har endelig købt nogle tuscher, nogle ret dyre tuscher i min optik, og nu vil du bare farvelægge. Har jeg ret?  Rengøring af så mange tuscher tager lidt tid og jeg forstår fuldt ud, hvis nogle synes det er langsommeligt og spild af tid. Men hvad hvis jeg siger, at vedligeholdelse af dine Copic tuscher vil forlænge deres levetid og forbedre brugen af dem? Rengøring er essentielt for alle Copic-brugere, uanset hvor meget eller hvor

Hey guys. How heartbroken are you to see all the burned animals in Australia? I can't even.... I chose this digital image  Lili of the valley Koala . The profits of the sale from this cutie will be donated to the WWF Australian bushfires relief, so get shopping people! I colored it with Copics and cut it with a My favorite things Wonky stitched frame. Copics used: Koala: W5, W3, W1, W0 + C1 Tree: E50, G40, E42, E31, E34 Leaves: BG57, G02, G00, YG01 Flowers: YG17, YG06, YG03, Y000 Butterfly: YG06, YG01, E44, E47 I also printed this Make it Crafty Gumnut flower corner and fuzzy cut it out. I "colored" the flowers with a white Sakura gelly roll pen. Copics used: Leaves: BG57, G02, G00, YG01 Flowers + stem: YG17, YG06, YG03, Y000 I stamped a sentiment from Poppystamps Whittles Everyday and popped up the panel and gum leaves. Although rain storms have moved in, fires are still raging. The animals of Australia still need our help. The lu
