I made this for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club December Christmas Challenge! I’ve been having so much fun being a part of the challenge this year & the bonus is I’ll have a bunch of Christmas cards finished in plenty of time for Christmas this year. You’ll need to be Fan Club member but that’s easy…just click the blue link to find out how. Since I had a little trouble w/ this month’s theme, I was helped out by the Inspiration Challeng (IC678)  & THIS is the picture that inspired me. 

For my card, I used only the wine glass image of the set & I used a black & gray Tombow markers to ink it. I used gray on the outlines that would be behind other glasses & black on the rest to stamp them. I didn’t bother masking since they were clear glass & are supposed to show through each other. After doing this 7 times, I added a little color w/ Copics to the glasses then stamped half of the greeting above them. I die cut a circle out of the top layer, then added a circle frame over the opening. The rest of the greeting, a single wine glass & a sprig of holly were stamped on this layer. For embellishment, I added a die cut & colored holly & used some clear dimensional glitter paint around the circle frame. You can’t really see it, but I also added some Wink of Stella to the wine in the glasses & on the holly leaves & berries.

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

To make my cute little Christmas camper, I started by stamping, coloring, then masking it in order to stamp the tree on top. Originally this camper had a folding beach chair in front of it, but wiped the ink off of it before stamping, then added the fussy cut package in its place. I stamped the greeting then some snowflakes & dots in the bg then added a little stickles. I also drew the twine around the tree & added some torn, inked strips at the bottom for snow.

The Inspiration Challenge (IC673) this week is a wonderful fabric site Brenda chose. They have a lot of beautiful & fun fabrics & THIS  (pic below) one really caught my eye. I just love all the patterns so I thought I would try to duplicate them on my pumpkins.


After I stamped & masked the new Pumpkin Pile on the left, I stamped the Pumpkin Patch on the right. Then I drew patterns on all of them & colored them in. I added the sunflowers & leaves on & under the left upper corner. I had a leftover scrap of green & I thought it looked good under the right side.  I’m kinda liking these pumpkins w/ all the fun patterns.
