Candy Cane Season CYOB - TGIF Challenges - TGIFC179

September 28, 2018
TGIFC179.jpg

Boy do we have a super fun challenge for you this week at TGIF Challenges. The challenge is to create and come up with your won background. I love a challenge that is so wide open to interpretation.

I created this fun HO HO HO watercolor background. It was fairly simple to make. First I wet the watercolor paper and created a Bermuda Bay watercolor wash with an Aqua Painter. When the paper was still wet I stamped the HO HO HO in Bermuda Bay ink onto the wash. The stamped image bleeds a bit in certain areas but remains crisp in others depending on how wet the watercolor paper was. I’m loving these results! You can see where I tried this technique again here on this dinosaur card.

The candy cane images come from the Candy Cane Season stamp set. These are stamped in Poppy Parade and punched out using the Candy Cane punch. These sweets are so cute and chunky!

Use your STASH - Bring on the Bling! This is the perfect challenge for this card. I have so many rhinestones and sparkly dots that it made perfect sense to use as many as possible to decorate this tree. My card is inspired by a recent wreath project
Use your STASH - Bring on the Bling! This is the perfect challenge for this card. I have so many rhinestones and sparkly dots that it made perfect sense to use as many as possible to decorate this tree. My card is inspired by a recent wreath project @paulinespapier created using embellishments. 'Use Your Stash' is a monthly instagram hop where my friends and I get crafty and use what we have on hand. The bling is from decades of crafting ... the stamp set is called 'Twinkle Trees'. Stampin' Up! products you can still purchase: Basic White cardstock Garden Green Ink Textured Notes dies Shimmer Star foam stickers I can't wait to see what BLING my friends have kept around and used for this challenge.
