Merry Christmas Stocking and Gift...STAMPlorations CUTplorations December 2017 Challenge

Hello,

Welcome to STAMPlorations CUTplorations December 2017 Challenge, where Maria has chosen this lovely decorated tree to inspire us!



My inspiration comes from the lovely white boughs and the pops of colour. Did a little spotlight copic colouring to frame the sentiment....a bit tricky to get some of the little bits re-aligned but I managed most of them (no close looks!)

Warm Hands, Warm Hearts stamps and dies, 

AND, because I have a pretty tree stencil, I decided to make a second card, sparked by the 'whimsy' of the image that does bring me joy...


Please visit the rest of my talented teammates to see their wonderful CUTplorations creations, then bring your STAMPlorations dies out and play along with us!

    Simply FABulous Carol. I adore that camouflage technique and your colouring to the little stocking and pressie is simply awesome. So effective and a brilliant, neat and classy die-cut sentiment. Perfect for Xmas and perfect for our challenge. Thanks for playing along at Less is More this week.

    Your coloring of the stocking and tree really makes them pop, Carol, and they look beautiful framing the die cut sentiment. I love the whimsy of your tree.

    Fabulous cards, Carol! You've done an outstanding job coloring with your Copics and the card design on the first card is wonderful. The second card is so full of whimsy and delight. Such a terrific tree stencil. Thanks so much for sharing! Hugs! :)

    It's been a long time since I've been here - you have 23 posts I haven't seen! So I've refilled my coffee cup and am going to enjoy every moment - likely including putting things on my wishlist (because you always do that to me!)

    Super cards, Carol. Love the traditional images either side of your camouflaged sentiment, wonderfully coloured too. Sorry for the late visit and thanks so much for sharing with us at Less is More, Anita x
