Run Up To Christmas Hop 2023 Week 1

 
 

 

Hello friends and welcome to the #runuptochristmashop2023 hosted by @love_smile_and_craft and @kellys.craft. We are going to make a card each week for 12 weeks until Christmas. This week's theme is "Pink Christmas" and I'm using a retired set from Concord and 9th called Triangle Trees since I was stamping it while dealing with another migraine.  Plus the trees remind me of the tree lot in A Charlie Brown Christmas.

I started out by stamping my trees in Versamagic pink petunia chalk ink on Neenah white card stock before stamping the saying in memento tuxedo black then layering and adding pink brads.  My card is then stamped using a retired Stampin Up holly jumbo wheel using regal rose ink before sponging the same ink around the edges.  After adhering my layered image panel, I stippled Tim Holtz tattered rose and aged mahogany distress inks around my trees.  The final embellishment was adding some tiny Gin and Tonic star sequins from Picket Fence Studios. I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.

Challenges entered:
 
Festive Friday #ff0144 (see inspiration board) (I used triangles, sparkle/sequins, metallic embellishment/brads)
