Color Throwdown #519 using SSS Ornate Ornaments

Happy Wednesday!

I am so excited for todays post since I am the 

Guest Star Stamper for this weeks Color Throwdown Challenge #519

I was so excited to see that the colors this week were Red, Aqua and Silver. 

I really wanted to use the Simon Says Stamp Ornate Ornaments Stamp set but didn't know how to make the tree work since no green. 

I then thought of those old school Aluminum Christmas trees and how would be a great backdrop for some colorful ornaments.

The tree branch comes from the Sunny Studios Holiday Style stamp set and was heat embossed with Ranger Silver Embossing Powder. 

I heat embossed the ornaments onto some Bristol Smooth card stock and colored the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.

I used:

Geranium Red

Light Pink

Turquoise Green

Light Blue

Light Gray

I fussy cut the images and attached with Gina K Connect Glue. 

The sentiment is also from the SSS Ornate Ornaments set and heat embossed in silver.

 I used the light gray marker to add a slight shadow since I thought at first looked a tad flat. 

I popped the panel onto the red card base using the SSS Big Momma Foam tape to add just a little dimension. 

Thank you so much for visiting and please go visit the Color Throwdown site to see all of the other beautiful creations and I hope to see yours submitted!

Christmas Card using Sunny Studios Holiday Style stamp set

Hello!
Last year when I was thinking about jumping into the world of stamping, I saw this Sunny Studios Holiday Style stamp set and was amazed at that bell. I thought just crazy how three different colors could create such a lifelike image. 

I am still lacking on inks so I used the Memento London Fog for the first two layers. Stamped once on the first then twice on second to make darker.

The pine was made using Memento Cottage Ivy in the same kind of way.
The sentiment is from the same stamp set and I heat embossed with some red embossing powder.

I die cut using the MFT Wonky stitched rectangle Die-namics and popped onto some plaid pattern paper from my stash. 

I of course had to use the ornaments for the inside. Im bad and forgot to write down the colors I used for the ornaments. My bad.

See you next time!
