Christmas stocking

I tried to do this card a couple of weeks ago, as this was one of the freebies offered at Outlawz freebie creative challenge, but didn´t have the time to finish it. (Warning: pics are not good as they were made with a cellphone as I don´t have my camera... sorry!)

I colored the image with acuarelable pencils,  then I mounted it on a green circle. I also used some glitter glue (the pic doesn't show the sparkle)

I used a green cardstock and made dry embossing, also some Muresco green plaid paper and dark green cardstock. I used a green marker and made some faux stitches and used a Christmas ribbon, in the corners I put some green bling.

Creative Freebie challenge 01

There is a new challenge at the Outlauz: Creative Freebie Challenge. Sandi Huggett and Anne Fenton started this new challenge and gave us two free images each of them to start to play (4 in total) and I can tell you, all of them are wonderful!!!

This is my very first one, a Christmas wreath by Anne Fenton. I colored it with acuarelable pencils and cut it to the edge. I love that little bird there!!!

I used green and red cardstock and a dp with Christmas roses and motives in white and red. I also used a very pretty red ribbon and attached three golden jingle bells.

CDAC PROGRESSIVE FREEBIE CHALLENGES 1st card

I signed up for CDAC PROGRESSIVE FREEBIE CHALLENGES a few days ago, I printed the images, colored some of them, but until today I didn´t have time to start with the cards for the challenge...

I started with the images offered by Sandi (Sandi Samples), a teapot and a tea cup, I colored with acuarelable pencils. I used yellow and kraft colors for these images as I wanted to particpated at cr84fn color challenge, this time: yellow, kraft and neutral.

I used two different yellow dp and kraft paper. I used lace from Paper Studio. And I distressed the borders with a brownish ink pad.

To mount the images I used some foami tape to give some volume to the card.

When I finished it I thought it looks very vintage, isn´t it? Really is not my style, and to tell you the truth, I think is the most ( or my first) vintage creation I did... and I like it!!! :)
