Holiday Season Arrives
My fantasy folk style tree was inspired by Stephanie's card on PTI's first release day. I stamped small images from the Make it Market: Holiday Folk and Tinsel & Tags sets on a white tree die cut from a SSS stitched rectangle panel, added a sentiment from Love is Here: Holiday, and a gold bell die cut from Bells & Boughs, all older PTI products. The tree was wrapped with gold raffia and offset in the panel to show the kraft shadow. Black Soot DI was splattered on the background panel before assembling the scene.

Using a SSS Falling Snow stencil and Ranger Texture Paste, a scene with snow was created on this top-folding card. A PTI Noted Scalloped: A2 stitched frame encloses the sentiment and a trio of aqua shimmer paper snowflakes were added for sparkles.
My friend Greta shared the SSS forest die cut panel which is backed with pattern paper and directly glued to a white card front. PTI's Winter Fox stands guard with a stamped Bells & Boughs sentiment.
I finally inked up the October Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit with all its vintage style images and dies. This card is a one-layer stamped panel with the skater masked to stamp the icy pond around her foot. Several snowflakes and light blue ink shadow her. This scene reminds me of childhood fun at a city park in Nebraska.
Thank you for stopping by today.
Wishing you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving!

ReplyDeleteOur Thanksgiving table will have both traditional and non-traditional dishes as we are so blessed that FIVE of our wonderful Mexican "adopted kids" will join us for the celebration along with our oldest grandson. We are so excited because we can barely remember the last time we had a big gathering for the holiday.
Have a wonderful celebration my friend!

Thank you for all the needed Christmas inspiration, Vikki! I love them all! I especially love that fox guarding the forest! And your expertly executed skater lass brought back memories of my winters in Iowa! I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving! Hugs, Darnell
