4 challenges inspired today's card...
Jingle Belles // JB2617 ...A year round Christmas challenge with a theme!! MASCULINE MERRIMENT is the theme for this current challenge. Stampin Up's Lost Lagoon & a little bit of gold makes for a great masculine Christmas card.
ABC Christmas // 12AUG26 ...An "alphabet" Christmas challenge!! P is for PENGUINS and Q is for QUARTET (four of something)...how about 4 penquins?!!?
Double Trouble // #223 ...A "Thing 1, Thing 2, and Thing 3" challenge!! Thing 1 wants us to follow a "Somthing, Anything, & Everything" recipe...3 of Something (three gold star embellishments), 2 of Anything (two stamped large pine trees), and 1 of Everything (1 ink color // Lost Lagoon & 1 sentiment sticker) ...CHECK!! Thing 2 wants us to use the sketch from Try A Sketch On Tuesday #702...CHECK!! Thing 3 wants us to use some foam tape to add a bit of dimension (little stamped pin layered with foam tape)...CHECK!!
Try A Sketch On Tuesday // #TSOT702 ...These two challenges (Double Trouble & TSOT) always partner up. Since this is a planned partnership on their part (not me picking and combining challenges) you always know they work perfectly together!!

ReplyDeletelove the wonderful layered stamping ... so very glad you joined us for some Masculine Merriment at Jingle Belles.
ReplyDeleteDeb, such a creative take on TSOT's sketch, and all the elements of Double Trouble's "anything" challenge! I really like the effect you created by stamping the two pine trees behind and across your forest panels!! Thank you so much for sharing with both of us!!! -Donna
ReplyDeleteWonderful take on the sketch and so very creative! Those penguins are adorable! Thank you for sharing this over at TSOT.
ReplyDeleteLove your panel of trees and then the unique stamping of the large trees to the side and the exta pop of the smaller tree. Love all the green shades and the pop of the gold stars. Beautiful Christmas card. Thank you for sharing your custom 3-2-1 recipe with us at Double Trouble and using our sister challenge, TSOT's sketch.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you have centered the sketch leaving space and created the scene - and the feathery , lightness of the trees! An enchanting card, Deb. Thank you so much for sharing your card at TSOT.
ReplyDeleteThis card is fabulous, Deb! I am in love with the green color you selected, but your layout and placement is most creative. Gorgeous. Thank you for sharing at Double Trouble & TSOT.
