Happy Holidays

 

Today is the 15th and this is my card this month for our The Creative Crew!  We are a group of 7--Jeanette, Carol, Darlene, Lorraine, Terry, Tracie and me. Each month will be a new challenge posed by one of the members sending out a kit. This month, Lorraine sent out a sweet Christmas Kit! The image is from a Brutus Monroe set called Peppermint Lane.  She also sent a few different sentiments and the one I picked is from Close to my Heart called Happy Holidays.  Lorraine sent some images die cut with the coordinating die as well as a couple on quarter sheets of cardstock.  She also included some sweet holiday patterned paper.  I think Lorraine included some embellishments in the kits, but I did not get any.  I added my own.

I colored one of the die cut images with my Copic Sketch Markers.  I added some highlights with clear Wink of Stella on the roof and chimney were the snow is piled.  I picked the blue and white stars paper for my background and cut the layer and white metallic backer with Gina K Designs Master Layouts 2. I added a black layer behind my sentiment and added the sentiment with foam adhesive behind it.  I added some peppermint candy clay embellishments on the sentiment panel.  This was a very fun card to make!  

I hope all of The Creative Crew Gals enjoy my card this month.  Please be sure to stop in to see what fun crafty cards are posted this month.  All of the blogs can be found on my left sidebar.  Our teammate Lorraine does not have a blog, so please check out her card in her SCS gallery.   I am sure you will enjoy all of the fun holiday cards!

We will be back in November with another challenge that Tracie will sending out.  Be sure to check in with us on the 15th to see what fun is planned!
