My apologies for the lateness in getting this posted, Events on Saturday just overtook me, and consquently I was not able to get around to it until Sunday.
We are looking for Traditional Christmas Colours at the One Stop Craft Challenge this week, and I have decided to use everything Tim Holtz to create my card, with a very traditionnal image, but not in his style.
I coloured a piece of card in the Festive Season distress inks, and then stamped the image with archival ink. I have lightly coloured the bbig spray of holly with pencils. The background consists of a panel run though a Texture Fades folder which I then lightly inked over and a Pine Tree die cut. I coloured this with greens and browns before added distress stickles to get a frosty look.. The photo is poo because of the lighting - and the red looks pinkish in places. Ugh!
I am entering this into the following challenges:
The Squirrel and the Fox - Christmas
Stamptacular Sunday - Christmas Glitz
Crafty Emmas - Traditional Christmas
Crafty Hazelnut - Traditional Christmas
Crazy 4 Challenges - It's Santa
Creations by Gill M - Red and Green
