It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC835) this week & we’re visiting Touch of Class & their Pinterest Board. THIS is the picture that inspired my card.
My southwest Christmas card is pretty easy to make. I die cut the sun out of pale yellow, the sandy hills out of tan, the mountains out of brown & the cactus out of a couple of shades of green. I sponged the edges to give them some depth then added the tiny Christmas lights to a couple of the cactus & used a gold gel pen to connect them. All of the scenery is attached to a pale grey bg.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC834), we’re visiting the Jolly Christmas Shop & Pinterest Board where I found THIS lovely picture.
I started w/ an alcohol ink bg I made. I thought the colors would be pretty for a winter’s night scene. Instead of stamping the trees w/ black, I gold embossed them. The greeting was added using black ink & was black embossed before masking it to stamp & gold emboss the falling snow & Christmas star. A fancy mirror gold frame was added
Thanks so much for stopping by!

For the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC833), we’re going to a wonderful Lighthouse Pinterest Board where I found THIS lovely picture.
For my southwest card, I started w/ a background I made quite a while ago. I thought the purples & oranges were good colors for a desert sunset scene. The bg was done by smooshing the Marvy metallic markers onto a rubber brayer, spritzing w/ water & rolling it over a piece of white card. If I remember correctly, I did it once w/ the yellow, orange & silver colors & again w/ the purples & silver. The hills & cactus plants were die cut out of a few shades of purple & I used part of the leftover orange areas for the cowgirl, cowboy & roadrunner. They were also popped up on foam to give them a little depth.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
