DECEMBER 2017 INSPIRATION CHALLENGE AT THE HOUSE THAT STAMPS BUILT

Hello House Friends!!!! 

Tick, tock, tick, tock.....we're on the Christmas day countdown...are you ready?  Whether we're ready or not...it's about to be here, isn't it?  

At The House That Stamps Built, we have an inspiration challenge for you this week....and just a reminder, you can still play in the last two challenges (Designer's Choice and Tic, Tac, Toe) and all challenges for December all month long.  Time is on your side if you'd like to join in and get in a drawing for winning some fabulous Repeat Impressions Stamps.   

This card uses only two Repeat Impressions Stamps, RI#2708-M "Pine Branch" and RI#2208-G "Warmest Wishes".  I used an edge die and my white gel pen to accent the pattern layer.  

I let the colors and the pine tree from this inspiration help me create my card.

JOY TO THE WORLD

Greetings Junkies!!! 

Only six days until Christmas and I hope you're all saving some special time for yourselves to enjoy it with people you love.  Some of my favorite Christmas memories are of midnight service at our church.  The service began at 11:00 at night and ended at 12:00 midnight Christmas morning.  The service always began with "Joy to the World" and ended with "Silent Night".  The music resounded through the whole sanctuary and could be heard throughout the small town where I lived.  

Celebrating those memories I created this card.  It was made using Technique Junkies "Violin Collage" as a background.  This background stamp is from the November 2017 release and just one of fabulous many background stamps in the store at Technique Junkies.  

On a dark blue card stock panel, I stamped the bg stamp with VersaMark ink then heat embossed it with silver embossing powder.  The edges were "painted" with a Nuvo Silver Glitter Marker.  I cut the word die "JOY" 4 times..three times in grey cs and once in a silver card stock paper.  I layered them together, with the silver layer on top, and placed them on the bg layer.  Such a simple card, but oh, how elegant it is.
