December Challenge With Morgan's Artworld

 

December With Morgan's ArtWorld

 The December Challenge for Morgan's Artworld is 

"Anything Goes" December 1st to December 27th.

You can use any image or project you have posted in September. For purchasing Morgan's ArtWorld Images, please visit the website at
Morgan's Fitzsimons Art Studio   
 




I worked with Winter Bundle 2 for my card. I fussy cut most of the large main image and all of the single candles which I resized so I could tuck them around the single candle.  This is a Christmas bundle, but with the colors and stencil I used, I thought it had to be a sympathy card, therefore the sentiment.

Supplies:
Morgan's Artworld Winter Bundle 2
My Favorite Things Ray of Light Stencil
Oxide Distress ink: fossilized amber
Copic markers
Vagabond die cut machine
Sentiments in my stash

Definitely Flowers With Altenew

 Have a Wonderful Time of the Year with Altenew at Die Cut Divas.

 

The Challenge for this month at Die Cut Divas is Flowers

I'm so happy I chose this Altenew Build A Garden stamp and die set as I can color it's perfect to color with my Copic markers.  I love the 3D embossing folder which gives so much depth.  I know you don't see me using flowers very much, but I do so love this flower set that I made another card.

Card #2 made with the large flower in this Build A Garden set
The first card is an A2 card. The card below is a much larger card, but I've already given it away and can't measure it.  

Supplies for both Cards:
Tim Holtz Idea-ology sentiment (years old)
Vagabond die cut machine

Episode 189

Episode 189 Reveal
The parameters for Craft Roulette are:
Project: A2 size
Colors: Forest Colors
Elements: Starts with "H"
Random: Postage, stamp or mark

I waited until the last minute and finally settled on an old stamp I've never used before.  I don't even know the manufacturer.  The red rubber is attached to a front with much the same stamped colored image as this one  I thought the colors were so good, I used approximately the same general colors used on the plastic front.
