STAMPlorations - December Challenge STAMPS & DESIGNER'S CHOICE

It's time for the monthly challenge at STAMPlorations December challenge - STAMPS & DESIGNER'S CHOICE :) This is really awesome coz u get to choose ur favorite challenge monthly or sketch. This challenge ends on December 31st, so you will have plenty of time to play along, The winners for this challenge will be announced on January 6th 2015. I would also like to welcome our Guest Designer Laura Jane, she creates some of the prettiest and very artistic cards. Her designs are beautiful. You will love what she created for this challenge. Now let me show you what I created...



I decided to pick the April Monthly challenge - Stamps & Your Favorite Technique. So that's my card using Stamps and distress inking, my favorite technique. To make this card I took a panel of white card stock, diecut its lower end with a border die (PPP Stitched border die), which will be replaced by a wood grain patterned paper after inking the panel. The panel was inked in Distress peacock feathers, Stamped with some random Christmas sentiments (from Joyful set) and splattered with some water. Next I heat embossed the candles (from Holiday Sketches - Christmas Candles set) in silver and fuzzy cut it. I lightly colored the candles in blue added some gem stones and adhered it on the panel. Finally I heat embossed the sentiment (from Holiday Sketches - Christmas flower) to finish the card. 

  
The inspiration from out team will blow u away :) You can check all the details about the challenge and the inspirations by clicking HERE.

    Really pretty, Deepti. The blue reminds me of your card from the November issue of PC&S mag. (boo-hoo!) There's just something so right about candles and poinsettias at Christmas time. You've made something really special here. Love it. Bev

    Such a unique color combo and I love that you used "wood" for the brown. Your BG is beautiful as always and I'm really in love with the blue you achieved on your candles. How'd you do that?
