Cornucopia

      I'm really thrilled with this new release from Jan's Digi Stamps called "Fall Cornucopia."  It comes with lovely sentiments and I included one here by merging the image and sentiment before printing.  

     On this image, I started with one of the pre-colored images but I adjusted it to grayscale before I printed it.  Starting with Jan's pre-colored images in grayscale instead of just printing the B&W line drawing means that all of Jan's lovely shading and highlights are still there so that adding your own colors over them makes you look like a superb artist.  :-D  Thank you, Jan!  

     I used ProMarkers and gel pens to color the grayscale image, then cut it with a Tattered Lace die.  I layered that onto the front of a circle card, also cut with a die from Tattered Lace, on top of the wrapped sheer ribbon.   The triple-loop, satin bow was tied using my bow maker and that bow is the only embellishment.


I used colors taken from the 3rd Column of 
the TicTacToe board at Color Dare, plus gold.


     Challenges:
Double Trouble  (all 3)

     The challenges at Jan's Digi Stamps are still on a break but will be returning on the first Monday in November so not long to wait now - just a bit over a month.  Since our challenges run throughout the entire month, you'll hardly notice how quickly the time flies by.  In the meantime, Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie

C for Candy Canes

     I'm still playing in the 30 Days of Christmas at Beccy's Place and even though I'm a bit behind due to being sick, this is my card for Day 3, Letter "C."  The image is from Beccy's Place and the Candy Canes are the most obvious "Cs" but there are others which you can find if you read the description.


     I used Copics for the Coloring this time because I have the best Crimson colors with those and I added the highlights with white gel ink.  I cut the image with a scalloped Circle die and matted it with another circle die cut.  The card itself is made using a fancy Circle die from Little B.  I layered all those scalloped circles together, one upon the other.

     I used Card Candy enamel dots for embellishment, including a large one on the Carmine bow.  The sentiment is all about Celebrating Christmas.

     Challenges:
Crafting by Designs
Digi Choosday
Joy Clair
Outlawz Festive Fri.
Paper Shelter
Penny's Paper Crafty
Simon Says Stamp
Winter Wonderland
Word Art Weds.

     I'll have a second post later this morning and that will have me almost caught up with all four days of the month long, daily challenges so far.  Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie
