ATSM #103 - Holiday

We are back with another amazing challenge this week at Addicted to stamps and more... HOLIDAY which opens up a wide range of ideas, from projects for any festive holiday or for some holiday destinations or whatever comes to your mind when you think about holiday... There are numerous possibilities. Now to my DT card, I went with the Christmas theme for my Holiday card...
To make this card, I was inspired by a few challenges, colors at  Merry Monday Challenge #116 - Green and White , the theme to use something that is one year old at Jingle Belles - Shopping our Stash and since it has joined forces with Shopping Our Stash challenge, I will link this card there too :) I used a pattern paper book I have had since a long time.
I also used the sketch prompt at 52 Christmas Card challenge - July Blog Hop.  This card is easy to create, to make the Christmas tree, I used the pattern paper of two kinds and cut out strips of  varying dimensions, stuck them on a triangular piece of card stock alternately and adhered it on card base. I did some stamping of hollies by masking around the frame to finish my card :)
    
There is a lot more lovely inspiration from the DT, Please visit our challenge blog here. The winner will receive a wonderful prize from our sponsor this week QKR Stampede. Take a peek at their store here

I am excited to see what you will come up with ....

I have another card to share, this time it showcases my experiment with Gelatos which I got from a sweet friend :) I was inspired by The Cutting Edge Challenge #2, Colors and washed look of print at the Runway Inspired challenge #63 - Just Cavallli Resort and Virginia's View #5 - Die cut.
To make this card, I cut our the balloons and their strings. Then I adhered a black panel and heat embossed the sentiment. I also added some ink splashes. On the card base, I adhered a water color panel which was created by using gelatos and water. the die cut panel was added over this with glue dots to finish my card.

Also, you did such a fabulous job incorporating all these challenges with your design! I also really love how you framed out your tree, and the pattern you placed on alternate strips is so pretty! Love how you stamped the holly and berries, too! It's just mind blowing to me how you can play with so many different styles, and you nail it every time!!!
