Here is my card:

For this card I used images from the Gina K Designs Warm Winter Wishes Card Kit.  The background is stenciled with the Snow Fall stencil. I used White Glitter Glitz Gel for sparkle. When it was dry I sponged with Innocent Pink Ink. The snowman is from the Winter Hugs Stamp Set, and the greeting is from the Folk Art Snowflakes Stamp Set. The snowflake behind the snowman is from the Folk Art Snowflakes Stamp Set as well and is heat embossed with GKD Find Detail White Embossing Powder on Innocent Pink Card Stock and then cut out with the companion die. Card stocks are GKD Innocent Pink and Heavy Weight White.

Double D - 12 Days of Christmas 1-6

Dear Ones~
What a fun challenge we have this time over at Double D. We are looking at the 12 Days of Christmas, but just days 1-6. Here is a Mood Board for inspiration:

And here is my card:

So I chose Two Turtle Doves. Here I used the plaid background because I loved the vintage look of the plaid with the doves. The images are cut from some Graphic 45 patterned paper called, appropriately enough, The 12 Days of Christmas. I used the Paper Tole Technique by fussy cutting various segments of the images and layering them for dimension. It was so fun and something I have not done for a very long time.

Here are the Ingredients:

*Stampin' Up Cajun Craze Card Stock

*Recollections Cream Card Stock

*Stash Gold Foil Card Stock

*Stampin' Up Detailed Bands Die

*Graphic 45 12 Days of Christmas 

Patterned Paper

*Stampin' Up Layering Ovals Dies

If you head on over to the  Double D Challenge Blog and play along, you could win this adorable die from Impression Obsession. And don't forget to check out all the beautiful cards the other designers have created for your inspiration.

 

So that's it for me, thanks for stopping by. I adore your comments, they always make me smile. And don't forget to stop over at Double D and see what's going on.
