the waltzingmouse april christmas card challenge up in the wms forum her challenge for us this month is birds and trees and i used the april 7th wms sketch for my card turning the sketch upside down using trees instead of banners for those of you who sometimes ask how i did one thing or another i thought i d show step by step pictures on how i created my card first i traced around one side of an oval nestability with a light pencil line on the bottom of my card to guide where i d stamp the trees from the wms set teeny trees be sure to use a good artist eraser when you erase the pencil mark so you don t leave any marks then i die cut the oval out of a piece of eclipse tape to use as a mask i placed the mask over the area i wanted to keep white and then sponged over the rest of the card starting at the outside edges and moving in towards the center in a circular motion using the inkssentials blending tool and ranger distress ink when you remove the mask you have a snowy white hillside i placed the panel inside my swiss dots embossing folder and ran it through my cuttlebug and now we have snow in the sky for the final steps i stamped the sentiment on white die cut it with a spellbinders ribbon banner sponging the edges before taking it out of the die here s how it looks all sponged leaving it lighter in the center and when you remove it from the die you have a lovely white edge i adhered the image panel directly to the white card base and layered the sentiment banner above it using foam tape i was really happy with how this came out it went from vision to card exactly how i thought it would sometimes it doesn t work out that way i hope you ll join us in the wms forum for the christmas challenge each month you ll be glad you did when november rolls around

challenges this weeks colors are from joan ervin another wonderful stamper and blogging friend who always inspires me here is her challenge to us and here is my card my image is from lablanche stamps called spring birds i recently purchased several lablanche images and i m really loving how they color up using cut n dry pen nibs and ink pads i added some lavender lace ink to the colors of the birds even though that is not how they appear in nature artistic license right i sponged the edges of the image and the sentiment with ranger distress scattered straw here s a link to a great you tube video on how to color lablanche stampings they recommend using lablanche paper to get the best impression with lablanche stamps it s like glossy paper but not quite as shiny i used it on my project today it was a little easier for me this week using 4 colors by the end of the month i ll be a pro bring it on girls i hope you ll join along in the color throwdown challenge this week you can check
