Winter Wonderland July Challenge

The theme this month at Winter Wonderland is CHRISTMAS MUSIC or SONGS.  I used an image and song sentiment from an Amuse Artstamps set, Hark.  Song words from "Hark the herald angels" are stamped on the card base. The top half of the card base is distressed with clouds (in Tumbled Glass).  The angel was stamped twice, once white embossed on vellum. The second time, the angel was stamped in black on scrap cardstock, Copic-colored, and covered in crystal Stickles. Both angels were fussy cut, the vellum wings attached to the stamped image, and foam mounted on the card base.  A Memory Box star, die cut from red Mirracard, was added.

Enjoy.

Winter Wonderland Christmas Birds

This month is my first visit to Winter Wonderland.  I am desperate to make Christmas cards ahead of schedule and am joining as many Christmas challenges as I can find.  I was wandering the entries, and a lovely CAS owl caught my eye.  Helen has a great site and a brilliant idea to further motivate me... add a Christmas card counter!  So love the idea.  

Back to the challenge, CHRISTMAS BIRDS.  As background know that I have two bins set up in my craft room, one with Christmas stamps sets/dies I have used in cardmaking, a second bin holds sets/dies that I have never used or need to use more.  I am working on the seldom/never used.  This time it is Mama's Elephant's Arctic Penguins set full of adorable "birds".  I used an edge to edge shaker technique demonstrated by Nina Marie yesterday on Simon Says blog. Super easy technique.  I filled with a sequin mix from Lucy's Little Things.

Enjoy.
