Silent Night

Welcome once again - today I am sharing a new release image from McMahon Vintage Digitals called Silent Night

I printed both the image and the sentiment onto vellum gold embossed them, and cut them with a Nestabilitie classic oval.  

The scene was coloured on the back of the vellum with water colour pens, and some blue card was cut to the shape of the sky line and adhered to form the sky.  The image was them mounted over a scalloped oval of Cryogen paper, although the sparkle did not show through the vellum.

The sentiment was also layered over the cryogen card.

The background layer was a dark blue card sprayed with Shimmerz spray.

The ribbon was layered over the blue, and a wee bow folded held with silver flower spit pin.

Pleae feel free to visit the other team members (they are linked from my side bar) to see the other releases this week.

Thanks for visiting - may your day be blessed

New Mexico Release..

Welcome back for a second release today - with having made my cards early thanks to the break, when this new set, New Mexico  by McMahon Five Design.com was offered, I took the opportunity to use it.

This is the first card I made

The background card was embossed with the Retro Squares folder, and the edges sponged with Memento Bamboo Leaves ink before being mounted on an olive green base.

The sentiment was cut out and embossed with a Nestabilities rectangle , and sponged with the same ink. The scalloped rectangle was sponged with Whisper Orange ink.

The jars were 'fussy cut' and painted with twinkling H2O's and mounted on foam spots.  

The second card I used some dp by Studio 313, called Ocean Water, but turned it ninety degrees to make it look like smoke whisps.

I cut the sentiment out and mounted it on the same card as the base of the card.

The sombrero was fussy cut and coloured with watercolour pens

The peppers were again coloured with the watercolour pens and fussy cut, and then I put a layer of dimensional glue over them, which gave them a wonderful glaze and made them a real feature of the card.

I finished the card with some bright red ribbon and a button.
