Inky Impressions Challenge #24…

The challenge this week at Inky Impressions Challenges blog is to create a gift bag.  Mine is the kind you stick a cellophane bag inside of with a treat or small trinket.

Rachel, colored with copic sketch markers,  from Inky Impressions rubber stamps is enjoying the season! She doesn’t even look cold!!!  I used Basic Grey, Eskimo Kisses pattern paper,  Martha Stewart icicle border punch,  Hero Arts sentiment stamp, teeny 1/16th in. brads (love these little things), McGill snowflake punch,  Frosted Lace stickles, Diamond Dust glitter from the Art Glittering System and the tree rows stamp is from Memory Box.

Here is a photo of the markers I used…

And here is a close up of Rachel…

Elf Lili writes Santa….

I love this stamp from Inky Impressions,  Lili’s Cleaning Day! I just had to make her into a Christmas card. I’m joining the challenge #32, to use Green, Red and White at Colour Create, and Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps challenge to use circles. November is my last month on the Inky Impressions design team.  A design team call is going on now…check it out if you love these gals!

Hope you’re LAUGHING!!!  hohoho
I colored Lili with copic sketch markers, photo below. The pattern papers I used are from an old Christmas 6×6 set by Memory Box. The history outline paper stamp is by Teresa Collins,  comes as a cling mount stamp.  The teeny tree is an old Hero Arts from one of those tubs of 18 or so stamps.  The holly punch is medium size and it’s not marked who it’s from…I think it’s pretty common though. Hope she makes you smile!  I sure had fun coloring her!!!

Inky Impressions Challenge #23

This weeks Inky Impressions challenge is to create an ornament or add an ornament to your card or project. I decided to make a tree with a wreath frame for Angelica and her lantern to go in. She is one of the new release images, so fun to color! I LOVE that!

I’m always trying to get a better photo. I struggled getting Angelica to focus, wondering if it’s because the wreath is on top of the image. Look how “in focus” the berries are…it just dawned on me that those berries should be white!!!  This is mistletoe! lol Any one know any tricks? for the picture, not my goofy mix-up! bah! lol

The tree is multiple cuts from the cricut cartridge “joys of the season”…cut at 5.5 inches.  The wreath is from the same cartridge cut at 3 inches.  I used Bazzil card-stock.  The ribbon is double sided red on one side and burgundy-ish on the other side…LOVE this stuff.  Angelica is colored with sketch copic markers…so cute all decked out for Winter….on her way for a caroling party,  I’m sure!  oh, back to the ornament…white pen on the berries and Christmas red stickles. ETA, that should be white! bah!

Join us for the challenge and check out the design team call…yep,  it’s that time again!  and the info is all on the link.

Here’s a picture I took last night in the light tent before I put the white pen and stickles on…wondering if the focus is any better…love this holly paper,  Bo Bunny…no wonder I was thinking red berries!!!!!
