Serene Christmas

Hi there!  It's me again!  Can you believe it?  I have another post for today!  If you are looking for my Little Miss Muffet DT post, please click here or scroll down one post.  I am really trying to get a few more Christmas cards done.  It's getting down to the wire and I don't know how I'm going to get everything finished!  I don't know why I do this to myself every year - lol!

Here is my latest Christmas creation:

It's very clean and simple, at least for me.  My card base is GKD Heavy Base Weight White. I next added a panel of silver mirror paper.  It so shiny in real life, but very hard to capture in a photo.  I mitered the corners to look like a frame.  The main image is Winter Trees.  You can find this Gingerloft digi image in the Stitchy Bear Digistamp shop.  The frame is Christmas Framed from Create With TLC.  It was part of Paulette's recent Winter Club.  I merged the two images and printed the merged image onto XPress-It Card.  I added light green highlights to the main trees with my Copics, then added tons of Star Dust Stickles to make them sparkle!  I added New Fallen Snow Glitter to the whole ground area. Some shimmery silver cord and three silver gems from my stash finished my card.

I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Tuesday Morning Sketches #175 (sketch)
One Stitch At A Time #142 (anything goes, used a store image)
Forever Friends #50 (fortnightly challenge - glitter and sparkle)
Tuesday Throwdown #126 (white Christmas)
Card Makin' Mamas (silver and/or gold)

Here is TMS-175:

Thanks for dropping by again!  I truly appreciate you visits, especially when I haven't had as much time lately to reciprocate.

Have a great day and hope to see you again soon!

Little Miss Muffet - New Releases

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Have you had a good week so far?  Only one day left until the weekend is here!  It's very early for me, but I'm here, as always on Thursdays, with my DT card for Little Miss Muffet.  It's time for another new release!  Wait until you see the fabulous new stamps!  The brand new Dream On collection from artist, Paula Lee (Pollycraft) is being released today.  These are all red rubber stamps and they are so cute and whimsical!  In addition, several of the digi stamps from the Pollycraft Honeycloud Teens and Swings 'n Slides have rubber versions being released today. You can see all the wonderful new releases in the What's New section of the Little Miss Muffet Stamps store.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Blue Bayou (retired) and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Indie Chic Saffron and Citron 6x6 pads.  The magical image is Clover Butterfly Wishes from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  I stamped the image on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added Stickles to the butterfly, flowers and Clover's wings and White Opal Liquid Pearls to the dots on the mushroom caps.  I sponged in some clouds with SU Soft Sky.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  A few Wild Orchid Crafts roses and three peach gems finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:
